I'll be calling Bell about this tomorrow. Are you all having success transferring from an existing contract with Bell to this Fab 10?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
Outside in the middle of a open field, expect to get a few bars, walk into a building a bam the signals gone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bourne-nolonger:
I am currently having a horrible time with Rogers and signal.

I live in a basement apartment in Thornhill and as soon as I step downstairs my signal disappears.

If I want signal I have to put my phone in the Window sill and even then I only get 1 to 2 bars.

I wish they offered signal amplifiers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
But with rogers, signal is farely decent in most places, mobilicity signal is weak in the beginining and the 1700mhz frequency has trouble penetrating walls so that just adds to the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bourne-nolonger:
Yes Rogers is okay most other places. However, I do find that their call clarity isn't the greatest either. My work phone with Telus and it has better call clarity then my GNex on Rogers.

But I have heard that complaint about mobilicity in the past. A friend of my complained to them about it and then made some adjustments with a tower or something and it greatly improved the reliable of his service.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hinouchi:
Been with them since Oct 2011, I'm in Toronto 100 percent of the time, I can't speak for everyone else, but for me their service have been awesome. A few down time with data but that's at like 1-4 in the morning.

Speed been averaging at 1.2Mbps sometime at 2Mbps. I mean sure, it can't be compare to the big 3 LTE speed, but who needs 42Mbps on a mobile? unless you're downloading large file, which is just gonna use up your 6GB easily in a day. I'm paying 37 dollar a month for my service, and I get unlimited everything. Last few months I have been using around 10GB on data, try that with big 3 and see how much more you pay for that. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
In Vancouver the signal area is crap, but for the price most people would be willing to put up with it but for me I can't I need my phone/data to work. Although mobilicity has good call quality when you have signal, data needs improvements
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
I just signed a new contract in June to get my Nexus, and they had no issues switching me to the 6gb plan. In fact, all I said was "I heard about a new 6gb promotion plan" and she said "yeah for sure, want to switch to it?" I kept all my existing promotions too, so I still get unlimited incoming calls.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juiceon:
Yes that's what keeping me from switching. I love their plans. Good price. Reception wise. I like to get what I pay for. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leppo:
Thanks... actually I walked into a Bell store yesterday to increase my data plan (from 500MB). Since I no longer could see the 6GB Fab10 deal on the website, I assumed it was gone. But without me even saying anything else, the guy just immediately put me on this 6GB Fab10 plan.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asicman:
How is $60 + CID/VM + tax a good deal???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leppo:
You must not be in Canada...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
this is the nature of 1700mhz frequency. it can transfer more data faster than gsm but it doesnt have the range or penetration so a umts network needs a more base station transmitting than lower gsm frequency. so if you are in a low reception area to begin with (which i assume you are if you only get a few bars outside) then gsm will def give you better reception indoors if its available.

---------- Post added at 08:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------

if you are referring to the OP's plan of $60 with 200mins, 6gb and unlimited text then it is a good deal. show me one other advertised deal, not retention deals, in canada with one of the companies with a national network (ie. telus, bell, rogers or fido) that is better. This is the same price as my Fido retention plan but i get caller id and voicemail.

i exclude wind and mobility because they only have local networks that sucks so they dont count, for me its a huge advantage to be able to use my 6gb anywhere in canada not just 5 cities...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] icemasta31:
Best deal for a new customer right now is the Koodo 6GB plan since it includes CID/VM, Unlimited Incoming, and Canada-Wide calling instead of My10 for $60/month.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I got a bell small business plan, 6GB, 350 mins, voice mail, caller Id, unlimited texting, and unlimited calling after 5. Only catch is you must have at least two lines on the same account, but the two lines can share minutes and data. Plan is regularly 57$, I got it on promotion for 50$

Edit: also there was some sort of glitch where bell did not count most of the data I used, so my phone would say like 2gb of data used but my Bill would say 30 MB used, so I pretty much had (and I think I still have) unlimited data

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] zounduser:
Oh nice. :D im good.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] m6ar2cel6o:
Sprint won't charge extra?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SilverZero:
Not unless they find out you're using an unauthorized hotspot. There was an anecdote a few weeks ago about a FoxFi user getting charged for hotspot usage, right around the time Sprint banned it from the market.

FWIW, Wifi Tether from Muller/Lemons/Buxton/Robinson works just fine for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DrZune:
WiFi Tether works fine if your phone is rooted. FoxFi allows you to tether without having to root your phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] O.LPZ81:
Works well. I used sparingly but never have had any issues with it. Fast data speeds if you have 4G access.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] kfheaven:
The Heimdall Suite 1.3 release includes a major overhaul of Heimdall Frontend. The most important feature is that Heimdall Frontend now provides a means for you to easily package your firmware/ROMs/kernels in a "Heimdall Firmware Package".

Heimdall Firmware Packages contain any files users will need to flash as well as additional information including supported devices, developer names, homepage and donate URLs etc.

Heimdall Firmware Packages can be customised by users or flashed directly as provided by firmware developers. Generally users won't want or need to customise the firmware so flashing your firmware becomes as simple as loading the firmware package and pressing the "Start" button.

Distributing your firmware via Heimdall Firmware Packages should simplify the flashing process for end users and decrease the number of bricks that occur as a result of users flashing incorrect firmware.

Heimdall 1.3.0 has officially been released and can be download from the Heimdall product page.

Feedback is very welcome! As always donations are also very much appreciated.

This application is great and has worked well for me for the GT-I9100 and GT-I9000. However on the GT-I9300 when I extract the PIT file from Heimdall, if I try to create a package using that PIT file and flash it on my device Heimdall tells me that the pit file does not match the device's partition scheme.

Do you know any workaround ?

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:
While reading the conspiracy theories, defects, issues (you know the ones that you never knew you had an issue until someone else told you theirs) threads..

I got to wanting to know how many of the "hard to open" box owners have had any issues with their units.

I realized my original hard to open box unit had double/ retaped seal.

Might they have taken a few of the units out and done something to them prior to shipping. Perhaps a last min fix (not a firmware update, as my unit got them after I opened it) or was that just to stick the FCC sticker on?

Mine was exceptionally difficult to open, no issues with my unit.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jyveafk:
Ah, that could be it? Makes sense.

Mine had been double taped back up, and left on to run down, so perhaps the screws had been tightened and they'd turned it on to test, without powering off.

Good theory.

I find it hilarious people are basing quality of hardware on how hard it is to open a box.

For the record my box was low to medium hard to open and my nexus 7 is awesome.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mi7chy:
It's all about the technique. Most people will squeeze the sides causing a suction making it difficult to open. The people with technique slightly pull out all four sides to loosen top cover, lift under the opposing corners of top cover and shake out the bottom. No problem getting it opened and got a perfect first unit. Second unit from B&H in transit.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Euthye:
Mine was ridiculously hard to push out, I slid a v v thin bread knife down all the sides, not much help, much application of even pressure got a tiny bit of movement enabling me to pinch the rim of the sleeve then mm by mm 1 edge at a time I got movement then it slid off, I've thoroughly inspected the device NO sign of any of the common issues and a very happy consumer.

Just for more emphasis the sleeve was on TIGHT, my collar is blue and my arms are strong but this was so tight I was concerned that tightness might cause damage.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:
Add my account? How'd the store know I was gonna buy that unit at that store to put in my account without knowing the details? ;)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:
The question is it perhaps those with the harder to open boxes was because of the retaping to reseal a unit that may have been fixed last minute after the fact?

Once I got mine out I realized the tape glue and additional unintended to the design thickness of the added tape caused it to stick to the sleeve.

My second unit slid out almost by itself. It too had double tape but it seems the gamestop employees had already slid the sleeve off before. The inner box had smege on it, the sleeve was less than pristine, as my original unit.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bielinsk:
That is a good question. But mine was very difficult to open, I was surprised by it.

When I turned it on, it had my email and name there, I only had to enter my password.

Somehow it knew that unit was for my account.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woshiweili:
My box wasn't hard to open at all. Yes the tapes were sturdy and can't be easily "cut" with your finger nails but it didn't stand a chance against my key. I opened my box in less than 30 seconds. Not sure what all the fuss is about.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] h311sdr0id:
Background Information:

I need to return my Verizon SGS3 for an exchange (within the first 14 days) because of a battery problem. My battery is draining WAY too fast and getting too hot. To the point where the battery cover is melting.

- I have flashed root66 to my device using Odin and installed the CWM via the CWM App.

- I have already went to the Samsung Site to obtain the Stock VZW software and flashed it back to my phone via Odin.

- The CWM is gone and the there is no trace of SuperUser that I can see (meaning the app is not installed).

- When I boot the device, the "Unlock" symbol is no longer their, and only the Samsung logo is visable (like it was when it was stock).

So I called Verizon to setup an exchange and the lady asked me if I had altered the phone in anyway. I told her no, but then realized I needed to find out more so I told her I had another call and would call back later. She said that the Warehouse would be checking the phone upon arrival to check and see if the phone's software has bee altered in any way.

Question(s)/Issue(s):

I wanted to make sure that what I did (in regards to returning the phone to it's factory state [to my knowledge]) was sufficient enough. Because I don't want to get charged $299 for returning an "altered" phone to them.

Has anyone successfully returned a Verizon SGS3 that was rooted and then flashed back to the software from the Samsung Support site and returned/exchanged the phone without a problem?[/B]

-h3llsdr0id
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] V@no:
Sorry not answering your question, but do you have to send the phone? Can't you just go to Verizon store and exchange it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] h311sdr0id:
It's just that I live 4 hours away from the closest Verizon Store...

So I kind of have to send it. Am I cool sending it back the way I did everything?

I mean is Verizon gonna know it was rooted?

-h3llsdr0id
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jjlean:
If you can use triangle away and non root stock software they should not be able to tell. Not sure about triangle away for Verizon, but for tmo it works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] h311sdr0id:
I was wondering if the stock Verizon ROM from the "samsung-updates" site quill bw efficient enough. It's not an officially recognized site that is connected to Verizon or Samsung, but it is all I can find. And the Triangle problems do not apply to the root66 roms as far as I can see. I am a perfectionist and have flashed these more times than needed and have never had a triangle problem...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kishin14:
I was in the same situation two days ago. On Route66 with custom recovery. All I did was install the latest stock rom via odin. I got the stock rom from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1755386

After I ran it, my phone still showed as custom and modified. I had to do a factory data reset under settings. Once I did that, the phone was completely stock with a "normal" status just like the day I got it. That's how I took it to verizon and had no problems exchanging it.

It should say how many RPMs the hard drive spins at. I don't think that's true. 5400 and 7200 are the most common I think.
[Off-topic] boborone:
That makes no sense at all. Ask the someone if they care to elaborate on the reasoning why.

Plus it's just not true.
[Off-topic] jaszek:
Most laptop HDDs are 5400rpm, with some at 7200rpm for a higher price.

On desktop HDDs the standard is 7200rpm, while you can get 10000rpm. I'm pretty sure you can get a 10krpm laptop drive, but that would make it a lot more expensive. And who cares. They work, most people don't see any difference. Also you can get an SSD if you want speed.
[Off-topic] mikef:
Typically the faster hard drives are found in desktops since it takes more power to spin faster, but there are fast 7200rpm laptop drives too. 10K rpm laptop drives to me would be a worse solution than an SSD at that point.

Quick question for those of you a little more experienced with Tasker than me.

-how can i have tasker wait to make sure a state remains a certain way before running the task? for example, i would like to run a specific task if the screen has been off for a set amount of time. i know how to set the profile for screen off but not to make it wait for it to stay off a set amount of time before running the task

-another question i just thought of. how would i go about doing this: already runs home profile when connected to home wifi- would like it to run another profile when i disconnect from the network and leave home but i dont want it to keep switching to that mode all day. ive seen the cooldown and limit repeats setttings in the properties but cant figure out how they work and the help isnt very helpful.
