Check those coverage maps, Maybe I'm used to Verizon but the coverage on those GSM Prepaid guys especially for smartphones is pretty terrible.

Doesn't work that way here and thats the problem, it should. You buy a phone from the carrier that only works on that carriers network. Even if you get say a Verizon phone that should theoretically work on Sprint, as theyre both CDMA and even share towers sometimes, they wont let you. You would have to get Verzion to unlock your phone first and then even if they did you would have to activate it on sprint which they wont do. They will only activate an ESN that is tied to them. I think they get all the ESNs for the phones they're going to sell and put them in a database. If you have an ESN isn't in the database the phone will not activate. I think the GSM providers basically do the same thing, but I would know I haven't been on GSM for I cant even remember how long.
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
Straight Talk offers unlimited talk, text, and data for $50 a month after taxes. It comes with full AT&T coverage or full T-Mobile coverage, with your choice of SIM. There's no throttling, and I get the same data speeds that any post-paid AT&T subscriber would get.
[General Topics] loki993:
I'm sure your right, but if someone went to the straight talk website wanting a smartphone and looked at that coverage map they would think the coverage was awful. They need to update that map.

Still arguing coverage aside the real question is I guess is why does subsidizing happen here but not anywhere else?
[General Topics] TJBunch1228:
It's not true unlimited data though, right. If you go over around 2 don't they cut off your service?
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
I've been over 2GB. Others have gone over 6GB. Nothing has happened. It depends on the subscriber base in your area; if a lot of people are on the same network you're on (meaning AT&T ST SIM and AT&T Post-paid subscribers, for example) you shouldn't strain the network by streaming Pandora for hours and tethering. But hey, I'm in NYC and nothing has happened. I live in Brooklyn and work in Manhattan by Radio City Hall/Rockefeller Center. Not even a single warning.
[General Topics] lowandbehold:
Well you shouldn't be looking at a straight talk coverage map as they don't own towers. You should be looking at an AT&T or T-Mobile coverage map.

did you manage to fix it? I`m asking because I have a frind with a SGS SL with same problem and he asked me to help him ...And I`m a bit clueless how....I only know that this bug comes from a corrupt efs partition.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] karanmirchandani96:
contact for dealer for solution or exchange

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] polish_pat:
I know CM9 nightlies have started rolling out for the american GS3 but i wanted to know if features like smartstay and camera burst mode have remained. These 2 features i would give up even for CM. Also besides that, anything else has changed from lets say the CM9 i had on my skyrocket?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Jsick:
CM9 is mostly universal across all devices..it is pure, vanilla Android, how Google designed in. So no, it will not have any Samsung added on features, including smartstay or camera burst.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] polish_pat:
well then, no CM9 for me! Unless someone releases a CWm flashable zip to add those features
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Jsick:
I don't think that's possible as those features require touchwiz to operate.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] zmore:
"Smart Stay" has already been replicated by a 3rd-party app call ISeeYou, which I'll probably install once I flash CM10, since it'll probably NEVER make it into CM proper.

And as far as burst mode goes, there's many other camera apps to choose from if you want that. Personally, I rarely ever find a use for burst (though, I admit i thought it was neat that it picked out the "best" pic from 8 burst pics i took of my kid throwing water up in the air)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] polish_pat:
i always use burst...only when i need flash i dont. I like th fact that i have 8 versions of the same pic and i can make sure nobody has they eyes closed or some kind of other that would ruin my picture.

I guess ill have to stick with stock this time, anyways, with a good launcher, its not like if its that bad. Just waiting for a one click root so i can freeze some apps
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] TheRevolution1:
Just find a camera app in the play store that has burst, Camera Zoom FX has it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] 3NDL3R:
Hi guys,

didn´t find another thread regarding CM9 focussing on the camera issue ... so ... I´ve installed CM9 07/16/2012 having still the camera issue after installing the files from 07/12/2012 (and setting the perms to the correct settings). Does anyone has the same problem and solved it? I´m using a AT&T SGH-I747. Help is appreciated. :-)

[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
Does anyone know the process I need to do in order to use my WiFi hotspot for free.Don't I need to use a special app from the market?could someone please help me out here. Thanks in advance.
[HTC Sensation] BanB:
I dont understand your question :)
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
I want to know how do I bypass paying for using mobile's hotspot with Rom I'm running.
[HTC Sensation] BanB:
Is this legal?
[HTC Sensation] fcknghst:
I dont understand - Do you want to connect to a wifi hotspot, or do you want to tether from your phone? In the latter case, any usage of your hotspot will be charged as data.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Bypassing operator fees is almost certainly not legal, this thread should be closed ASAP
[HTC Sensation] Sloopjoshb:
There is a thread in the dev section on a hack.
[HTC Sensation] Mesaman2012:
I want to use my phone as a hotspot.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Yes but in the OP you said you didnt want to pay for the data usage and bypassing it is illegal AFAIK.

Its easy to use hotspot, funnily enough htc bundle a hotspot app, just enable that. Why did you need to post this as a question, its that simple, just enable the app - or am I missing something here :confused:
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
You know what seems kind of maybe illegal to me? Suddenly charging users for a feature they don't have to pay for under contract. Seriously, if hotspot is free when you agree to your two years, it should stay free. Even if they tell you that you have to pay from now on when you upgrade from GB to ICS, they're now withholding valuable security and stability updates that HTC wants to give to us in exchange for you to pay more money.

I'm obviously talking about T-Mobile here. I think that's total bull. Plus, illegal? It's 15 bucks a month for a feature that used to be and should be free. It doesn't cost them any more money if my phone is using my service or if my laptop is, it's not like the service uses any more data on my laptop. I bought the phone, if I want to use it's hotspot feature, I will. Another thing, I pay them for 10 gigs a month and barely use 3GB tops. I think they're gettin a pretty good deal.

I know it's technically illegal, but I feel that it's a gray area of the law.

Edit: OP, if this is your issue, make a new APN in Settings that points to epc.tmobile.com (name it whatever you want, the APN is what's important). This works for me.

Please try to use the search function a little more. I do not say this to be a jerk, but I notice quite a few threads started for what are already common topics. Also, if you make your thread titles short and to the point you may get more useful responses. :)

Follow my link, and then follow the instructions posted within the link. Also, know that if you tether too much that your account may be flagged from the carrier's end. As per your service agreement, if you decide to illegally tether and are caught they have the right to suspend or terminate your service. I'm not saying this will happen, but it's possible and I hold no liability if it should occur. ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] solteykr:
Good day everyone, I'm from the philippines, I'm looking for an android app to keep track of my internet usage. preferably "online timer", where the app starts logging when connected to the mobile internet. We have three cellular company that optionally charge internet usage by "time blocks". (Php 10.00 per 30 minutes). Im not on the unlimited internet plan, thats why I need to keep track of my internet usage.

Globe Telecom

Usage:

The 15-minute session starts as soon as you surf the Internet on your phone and ends 15 minutes after.

Example: You start at 11 am. You will be charged P5 immediately. You will have until 11:15 am to surf. After 11:15 am, you will be charged another P5.

You may connect and disconnect multiple times within the 15-minute session.

Smart Telecom

Usage:

P10 every 30 minutes

Sun Cellular

Usage:

The applicable rate is P10 per 30 minutes. You may exhaust the 30 minutes either straight & uninterrupted or on a staggered basis within the two (2) hours consumption period.

Can anyone kindly show me a correct path to downloading the app?

Thanks in advance.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ericlmccormick:
I want to preface this with that I am on Verizon so this is using the Verizon hotspot app and I have rooted my phone but I expecet this to do the same on a non-rooted phone.

I have noticed that if I go directly into the app, the service will not work because it does a check to see if I pay for the tethering option. When it checks, it fails and tells me that if I want it that I need to call a number and add it to my plan. However I have found out that if you have a 3rd party app/widget, it will activate the tethering without the check. I have done this both through "Locale Wifi Hotspot Plugin" and "Tethering Widget". Other tethering apps seem to be flaky and either not work at all or timeout.

I have not had any issues with this; I watched an hour long show on Netflix on my tablet yesterday and used my old DInc(now deactivated), which I have the video out wired into my car, to play a few kids shows this morning on the way into work. I hope Verizon doesn't catch onto this workaround.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blaiser47:
I too have found this to work! I downloaded switchpro widgets and it allows you to turn it on through the stock app and configure at will. More reliable than foxfi for me! Give it a try if you want wifi tether without root
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Imatoasta:
haha nice. I wonder if it VZW can detect this and bill you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] IceCreaMan:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stupidchicken03:
I would just hope this doesnt come back and get billed for it.

I just installed FoxFi and it works good.

Also if you are on the new shared plans, tethering should be "free" now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] neyenlives:
i can't believe FoxFi hasn't gotten yanked for VZW customers yet like they did with PDANet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigpoppa21:
Ok I need help. I have foxfi and the wifi plugin both working. What do you guys suggest I stick with? Am I better off sticking with foxfi, since the other way uses verizon's hot spot?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Descadent:
foxfi works for me, unrooted at&t s3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Imatoasta:
Does ICS have tracking files like GB that notify vzw about tethering? I remember having to flash a file to remove them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blaiser47:
Also on that note, apparently toggling on the built in hotspot is much easier to track, according to lifehacker... Not exactly sure how FoxFi works but sounds like that might be the "safer" option, despite the cleanliness of just toggling on the built in. Also, I can confirm that using the toggle method works on AT&T as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stevessvt:
I installed it on my non rooted TMo, and it turns wireless tethering on, what ever that connects to the tether gets directed to TMo to add wireless tethering to my account.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gdavenpo:
set it up on 2 sgs iii last night, both took a little while to connect my win 7 laptop the first time, but all is good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] turbosrrgood:
They would have a hard time collecting on something you didn't agree to pay for, and you aren't doing anything wrong if it "just works" using a 3rd party app.

Still I just use Wireless Tether.

Tethering sounds great on a "shared plan", but what the heck are you going to do with a gig or two of data?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] npompei:
Wow totally works! Stock Verizon...

Do any of the ICS ROMs available on XDA have Voice Command that will work with a BT headset?

Or has anyone found an app that enables you to voice dial from a BT headset? I've scoured the forums and haven't found a solution that works for my AT&T Galaxy S2.

I'm running Serendipity and it doesn't have it. I've also tried Vlingo and Cyberon without success. Shocking that Google wouldn't carry voice command over from GB!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drjim:

I've attached it for those interested.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drjim:
Follow up for Voice Command

I have been testing the Voice Command apk I attached in my previous post and it works well except for one fairly big problem. Voice Command doesn't work when my phone's screen is off. As soon as I turn on the screen by pressing the Power button (but with the lockscreen still on), VC works fine.

Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
Unfortunately I don't have any ideas...I'm in the same boat. I'm using the samsung VC app (pulled from sammy ICS - I posted it up for someone, somewhere a while ago) on Task/Ktoons AOKP. It works perfectly fine launching from the BT headset button if the screen is on, but it won't wake the screen - I haven't been able to get it to work on any custom ROM actually...

Hmmm...now that you brought this up, I wonder if it's possible to integrate this into a tasker profile to make the BT headset button wake the screen, then launch VC?

Thanks for getting me thinking...guess I have an idea after all...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] drjim:
Glad I could get your gray matter moving!

Which BT headset are you using (I just bought the Blueant Q2)? I was hoping that it wasn't just my headset, so I wouldn't have to return it.

Let me know if you can figure it out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
Well, digging around in tasker, it appears it does not have a Bluetooth button trigger. Or if it does, I'm looking in the wrong place for it. I haven't actually tried, but it appears to be possible to force the phone either to screen off awake state, or full screen on awake upon bt connection. This would at least automate the process upon initial Bluetooth connection followed by an immediate call. Doesn't fix the problem of a user wanting to initiate a call on a stable idle connection though... gonna keep digging a little more.

I'm using an LG headset I got for 6 bucks from newegg 2 years ago. More reliable and better battery life by far than the 2 previous 70 dollar motorolas...

Edit: LG hbm-235
