What if I buy a phone at full retail like you stated ?

I am currently on a 3g phone ....

Will they make me change my plan when I activate an lte device ?

Easy to use data when you're getting speeds like this :D

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidnice15:
Nope. My girlfriend is the one who bought my maxx and she was using an iphone. I went with her. She told them that she was going to use my phone and they gave her a sim card for free and set everything up for her. So no they won't make you change your plan because you aren't using there upgrade.

This was last month. Probably going to match it this month.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KrisPeezy:
I haven't tried it myself, but I think this might work....

add a line to your plan and buy an S3 at subsidized price. Activate the s3 on the new line, and then later, you can transfer the phone to your own line and put a "dumb" phone on the new one for $10/mo. Then, after 20 months ~$200, you can cancel without ETF. So essentially, you'd be paying an extra $10 a month to keep your unlimited plan while getting your phone at a subsidized price! You can also keep the dummy line and transfer your upgrade to that so you can do it again if you find something better than the S3.

This is just something that I was thinking about to get around losing unlimited, but haven't had the opportunity to try it out.

btw, i'm at 20.063gb with 18 days left on my cycle :p

I drive around all of New England for my jobs. I listen to my Google music, Pandora and many other streaming radio stations allnof the time. I read email and ocasionally I will watch some youtube videos and listen to the bible streaming. When I get home I am always looking on XDA like a crack junkie looking for his next fix for either ROM's for my Rezound or Thunderbolt. Or checking up as to the status of the locked bootloader on the SGS3. I use anywhere from 13-26Gigs per month some times it may go under. My wife home schools our children so she is in need of the internet allnof the time. She uses anywhere from 8-10 Gigs most of the time.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gabrus:
hello guys i'm from slovenia so and i don't know very well english to apologise :)

i have a big problem with my huawei i installed the cwm and wiped then i try installed cyanogenmod 9 but there was a problem installation was not successfully i was very confused so i downloaded the original 2.3 firmware from huawei.com and i paste orginal boot.img and recovery.img in pink screen then i try to instaled it but i've have pitcs but why i followed the instructions ( i formated the sc card and paste the rom in it) and then is a warnig whin an triangle update failed

so can anybody help me and tell me what can i do to fix this :)

Thank you !!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Moihack:
wowww,wait a little.where did you find a cyanogenmod 9 rom? was it from another phone? if yes,maybe that's why the installation failed.

also,everything else you did was kinda wrong

i bet you can only try installing the official 2.3.5 firmware following the instructions included in huawei package and after that if the phone boots up correctly there are a lot of users here(including me) willing to help you ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gabrus:
it was for this phone for the pro version and everything so what are is you'r proposal to do here ? can you give me please an custom (clockword and root images that you use and a rom that actually works i've have the pro version :)

Thanks !!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Moihack:
I have the pro version too. I think I can help you.

Well the cwm I use is this one: http://sourceforge.net/projects/genoandroid/files/recovery5.0.2.7_en_u8800pro.img/download

Geno made it so big thanks to him

As for working Custom Roms check the U8800 Pro Android Development Section,try any ROM you want and just stick with the one that suits you better :) Be sure to try out aurora(from sakura), kalo rom, gkalenis rom(it has tv-out) and if you can my roms :P

Anyway.Try using the custom recovery.img I gave you with the boot.img from the rom you flashed(if the phone boots you are good to go). If the phone doesn't boot reinstall official firmware
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gabrus:
so if i understand you for example i just downloaded you first rom and recovery that you gave me now i replace the recovery and that boot.img that is in MoihackB572GBFinal.zip ? :)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Moihack:
almost.replace with the boot.img from the cm9 rom you flashed previously(it's inside the zip file)

sorry i didn't make this clear

make sure the phone boots after replacing those files in pink screen. if it boots correctly everything else is pretty easy. the important thing here is to get your phone work again ;)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gabrus:
Moihack you'r a genius it actually works and i lied it wasn't cm9 it was cm7 from geno ''cm-7.2.0-u8800pro-Geno-120604-final'' it's chinese-english but it works. so i have a question now which rom do you advise me and thanks a lot !!!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Moihack:
well glad i was able to help! you are welcome :)

my 2nd rom is based on the cm7 you tried but is free from all apps(only basic ones left) and is actually a pretty small one(about 60mb).you can try it if u want to ;)

now the roms i like is the aurora ics from sakura(it is pretty stable and fast for ics) and horse absolute (made by gkalenis). horse rom also has tv-out option but you have to downgrade to 2.2,re-root,install cwm and flash it in order to work properly(otherwise camera use will cause reboot of the phone).

anyway.if you like ics,feel free to try aurora (don't try the official ics from huawei yet)

if you want froyo and tv-out go with horse rom

if you like gingerbread,well try my roms :)

btw i am cooking another 2 roms these days(a mokeeOS and a miui 2.3.30 ) so keep an eye on u8800 pro development section if you want ;)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] narflynn619:
I read threads here at XDA and Xperia Blog regarding this feature. It appears we need a specific app and root access to make it work. But I thought USB-OTG feature on the Xperia PLAY was native?

It was stated on the Xperia PLAY's specs sheet at GSMARENA even before the app I mentioned earlier became existent, IMO. I also previously thought that all Xperia phones after X10's family support this feature natively.

Can anyone clear this up please?

I already have a SanDisk Switch 16GB and I'm planning to buy a USB-OTG cable for this reason. Please help.

Thanks in advance!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
No.

edit: let me revise my answer. There is a sense 4.0 port that is booting on an i9100 but not for the T989.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
Lol your proof is below ;) and i agree with below statement, i hated sense 4.0 as well. Honestly ive used both TouchWiz and Sense and TW is by far much better!

I stand corrected. If by works you mean boots, you're correct. But looking at how buggy it is and what doesn't work, i wouldn't say "it works".
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
Hey! So recently I have seen a rather large influx of people doing dumb things without first searching! So far I've encountered a couple people who are upset they bricked their phones, even though a warning was put out to not fkz back from ICS. I have also seen many people posting in the dev section just asking for help. YOU SHOULD ONLY POST IN THE DEV SECTION ONLY IF YOU MADE SOMETHING (ie. a ROM). Please don't post there asking for help or posting screenshots. Sorry but this has been pissing me of a little lately.

PLEASE try to keep this forum clean, and make the job for our mods easier!
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
From now on, we need to just start directing people to my sticky in these situations, and not post any help until they follow the rules.

Here is my sticky:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1778853

Then report them to the MODS, I have been told by both of our mods that they are on the developers sides and try to helps us out with any of these type of things, since this is a site really for developers and a way for us to get our work out to the public, so to speak.

[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yeah I feel your pain, and that is why I posted the sticky, I was seeing these things even before the bricks started. It has gotten so out of hand here, even with all the "when is ICS coming" new threads 2 or three a day. Heck now we have the leak and it not good enough, so they brick their phone even after all the warnings... I am starting to think that no one reads anything on here, and just posts a new thread for whatever they want to.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Jim, et. al.,

Since I have been traveling like a freaking gypsy for work these last two weeks, with another two more ahead of me, I was unable to PM all the Senior Members here with what you and I discussed last week. In lieu of all that, I'll take it upon myself to do what I had intended last week right here.

Because people (n00bs, primarily) can't search or post questions or concerns in threads that have

already been established for certain topics

-ICS leak topics mostly, I'm calling all Members and Senior Members together for this:

If we continue to see a handful of new threads made for topics already in discussion, we need ONLY to reply with the link to Jim's sticky, as well as the existing thread(s) that relate to new 'extraneous' ones. Nothing else, no replies to entertain any quandaries or concerns.

This was my concern with the leak coning out, and it has been substantiated with several threads posted that are clogging up this forum. I cannot stress enough the imperativeness of SEARCHING BEFORE POSTING NEW THREADS, and have already made reports to the moderators of people not following the rules. I'm doing that with the risk of looking like a total prick, but also with the hopes that people here will get the picture.

So, if we all join forces and take these threads with the same approach, it might just work. Albeit, there will always be those who will insist on being dumber than a bag if smashed a**holes, we still may get lucky and see some improvement...
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
I'll be relying with links to jims sticky, jrws noob thread, and farshads do not flash fxz post. That should cover it all lol.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
I hate to seem like we're all "ganging up" on these guys, but it really has gotten way out of hand. So, n00bs and Junior Members (and even Members) if/when you read this, understand where we are all coming from. This isn't "my" forum or "your" forum, its "our" forum, and there are rules in place for everyone's benefit. Since the ICS leak, we've gotten more than a little frustrated with people wildly avoiding heeded caution, and squawking about the forum with a desperate cry for help by posting new (needless) threads. You'll get the very same degree of help if you post correctly, and avoid being set on fire...
[Motorola Atrix 2] tmease1:
This has been going on for awhile now with people posting in the wrong section or people asking repeated questions. People just don't get it or they just don't care. It seems to be getting worse. I don't think there is going to be a real fix on this. I hope this thread will help though.

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweettaniyaa:
OK now I know there isn't a Ghost in my phone but at times my phone behaves like its possessed. The problem is with the touch screen. At times my phones starts to do stuff on its own. Like open random apps, bring down the notification bar and then brings it back up. Once it even opened my whatsapp and then opened the keyboard and typed a message and sent it to an contact. And during this time it doesn't really respond to my touches. But it happens very rarely like ones in two days and that too for a min or two. Been happening for a two weeks now. I have the latest CM 7 Nightly installed. So what do u reckon is happening? Is it a software bug or an Hardware bug? And how do I fix it?

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweettaniyaa:
This could be a reason cause it all began when I flashed DJNoXD's Kernel 2.5.2. But then I re flashed the latest CM 7 nightly over it and it continued to show the symptom's. Also I did not over clock, never did.

Today when it showed the same possessed behavior, I pressed the power button and it at once came back to my control. So I guess its a temporary solution to it.

It never happened during charging.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweettaniyaa:
Found the Culprit

It was being caused by a pair of external speakers, which has it own power source, which I connected to the phone. I am guessing the speaker was sending some kind of charge to the phone. When I connected the speaker, the touchscreen completely stopped working. and even after I disconnected the speaker the touchscreen would continue to behave the way I described in my first post. Probably stored that charge somewhere. Bottom line, now that I have stopped connecting the speakers its stopped that behavior. There case solved. Feel like Scooby Doo:cowboy:. There was no Ghost after all:D.

Unless you know how to use ADB, don't wipe everything.

Do a factory reset and reflash Androwook from TRWP. The first time it runs, it can as long as 5 minutes to fully load. Let it go, don't stop it just be patient and wait. If after 10 minutes nothing is going on, then reset and try to revert to your backup.

I can vaguely remember I managed to do it with simply adding / changing something in build.prop, but for the life of me I can't remember what and can't find anything on searches.

I did find someone saying to try ro.build.characteristics=tablet but that changed nothing.
