+1, CDMA networks have a faster LTE capability but GSM will bring you a lot more benefits particularly with nexus devices. Personally, I am thinking about going to AT&T or T-Mobile after my contract with Verizon expires next April and buying a gnex or the next nexus device if it will be available by then. Verizon is, in my opinion, the best network in terms of customer service and cell reception but they are also aware of that and take advantage of that fact by leaching their customers and bloating phones for no reason. You are far better off with a GSM network like AT&T for good reception or t-mobile and you can still get an unlimited plan for a reasonable price.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orfius christ:
Thanks a lot guys! I really do want to stick with Verizon, but with the income I make being a 16 year old dishwasher, its kinda hard to afford it. The only reason I would move to sprint is because of the cheaper contracts and the Evo (even though I've heard some pretty interesting defects on it.) I still have until December to make up my mind if I don't want to pay for early termination.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shano56:
Yeah I highly recommended T-Mobile for those who have their coverage in their area. If not, then ATT. I suggest T-Mobile first, because at least in my opinion, they have cheaper prices and better customer support. I pay $15 a month right now on T-Mobile
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobAbooE:
I was comparing prices over the weekend and found that as of right now, it is cheaper for me and my wife to stay with Verizon. Our contract is up in Dec, if signing a new one forces us into the tiered plan, we will probably switch to sprint, they still have unlimited as of right now. But if I can keep my unlimited even though we sign a new contract, I will stay with Verizon and buy my phones through swappa or Google if they really do come out with a new Nexus that they will sell themselves. It all depends on the unlimited factor for me. If would like to check out t-mobile but I don't know anyone around me who has it. AT&T is a no go, we left them for Verizon because of poor reception, we called and they said they had a tower down in our area due to corrosion, that means rust to me and that is just lazy on their part.

It might be time to rethink my usage and dependence on a cell phone.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shano56:
You can get a $25 T-Mobile phone and a free sim if you go into the store or $1 if you buy online to test out their coverage ;)
[Nook Color General] gprichardson1:
Hi all,

My apologies if this sort of question has been posted before. I did some searching on the forums but couldn't find anything.

I have a Nook Color running B&N's 1.4.2 software and manual nootered with 5.02.19. I want to give the Nook to my brother and was wondering if I could de-register it via Settings --> Dev Info --> Erase & Deregister Device, then register as him, remove my gmail account and add his, or do I have to wipe the Nook clean and reload everything from scratch?

If there's a procedure for de-registering/re-registering a MN Nook w/o having to wipe it can someone point me to the instructions to do this?

Thanks in advance for any help!

-Gary
[Nook Color General] leapinlar:
When you erase and de-register, everything is wiped already, including your emmc media data. All installed apps, Google accounts, everything. Should still be rooted though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tgatlinjr:
Or is it just me? Every email I open that has pictures or graphics I have to scroll to the bottom and click on "Load More Details".

I really like the email in the Nexus Roms or the CMxx Roms - they ask at the TOP if you want to show pictures and then if you want them to be shown all the time. That is what I would like to have. Any idea where/how one could accomplish this?

I have tried virtually all of the email clients in the Play Store and really do not care for them fro one reason or another. I even have $16-17 invested in a few of them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I purposely use Gmail for everything. Just goes hand in hand with android. I actually freeze email and exchange apk.

Have you tried enhanced email from market?

Sent front my SGS3 Epic 4GLTE Touch
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnM:
If you use Gmail, you can just press "show pictures" at the top if it doesn't show them by default. It will remember your preference for that person.

Gmail also has a better theme and is generally better than than most, if not all, email clients.

If you don't use a google account for email, I believe you can set google up so it receives email from a certain address and you can send outgoing email from that address.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SSaxman:
My biggest complaint is that Samsung put all of the controls (reply, forward, etc) at the top of the screen which makes one hand operation a challenge. I have big hands and still have trouble reaching the controls. I replaced Samsung email/exchange with the stock ICS versions on my E4GT for the same reason. I might do the same on this one as soon as I flash a custom ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbadboy2007:
Settings > email size select largest avail

I dont ever see load more details.

Im using the stock email app for 2 accounts i love the this app it lets you embed images and no other android email client will let you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
It's sad that it's as bad as it is, since the stock app for the SGS2 was so nice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] taiguy:
also, it doesn't play well with Office 365 :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shaun0207:
That's the issue I'm having with the stock app too. Loading details for pics and graphics is crazy. Their should a option to autoload or the link to load should be at the top of the email
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rfs830:
On all of my android phones I was never a fan of the stock email app when getting my work email. I then found out of about Touchdown. Its a great app to get exchange emails on.

I do like using the gmail app though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbadboy2007:
Mine is set to automatically show everything. I DO NOT SEE LOAD MORE DETAILS EVER. I use 2 accounts with the stock app and both show everything.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
K9 >>>>>>>>>>
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbadboy2007:
You can not embed images in k9 or touchdown so for the way i see it that would be a downgrade
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shaun0207:
What are you settings? I have mine set to show images and it still doesn't. Can you screen cap your settings?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] texaskj07:
I really prefer the gmail app. You can forward most other email address to your google account. I know I did that with my work email so I could get them on my phone while I was in the field.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbadboy2007:
Forward with files checked, show images checked, auto download attach on wifi checked, size to recieve all, (thats an exchange account my gmail account is set to 100 kb) those are the only important settings if your using a pop3 account that might be why your having an issue. Even my gmail is set to imap.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Bradfordv:
i use the inverted gmail app
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shaun0207:
I got all that check. But I'm not sure if I'm using POP or Exchange. I used the auto setup
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbadboy2007:
In the browser mode of gmail you have to change the settings of gmail to imap. Its set to pop3 by default.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KBone25:
I have never ever had a problem with Gmail.

It's just so good! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbadboy2007:
Gmail is really good especially since its push email to our phones but it lacks the ability to embed images which i have to use the stock email app for work account anyways and id rather be able to embed images than have push. Thats just my preference.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rey_1178:
gmail is great but i use the app kaiten mail to access it instead of the stock app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shaun0207:
Not having issues with Gmail. I've having issues with the stock mail app for my yahoo and hotmail accounts
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbadboy2007:
Both of those are pop3 accounts and you will not be able to do the show images always on those accounts. Pop3 is the worst type of email sorry.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] soufdallas:
I think the email is pretty cool

I have not seen anything on CMAS alerts (US only) on the Galaxy Nexus. I know I do not currently receive them on 4.0.4 VZW (though on my mom's phone she got it on Gingerbread with an app).

Does Jelly Bean add CMAS alert support or not?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nedrubwerd:
I have Jelly Bean build JRO03O on my VZW Galaxy Nexus and it supports CMAS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Just curious, what is the CMAS that you are talking about?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vegandroid:
what the hell is an inverted app? i know the standard definition but i dont see how it would apply to this.

can anyone explain the pros and cons as well as what it does?

****please try to use some kind of self control if you know this answer and think i should have already known before you start flaming.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
Simple: Inverted just means light text on a dark background, instead of the default dark text on a light background. With emissive SAMOLED displays, it saves a tiny bit of battery life doing this, and it looks nicer, IMO.

The biggest downsides are that you have to wait for someone to update the inverted app when google releases the actual app updates, and, there are sometimes quirks.

(the minor downsides outweigh the benefits IN MY OPINION, which is why I don't use 'em anymore.)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vegandroid:
thanks a lot

i appreciate your answer
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gadgetz:

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titanshadow:
I have been trying with no success to connect my Tab to my Mac to transfer files... So far, nothing has worked. I have resorted to pulling the MicroSD card out, copying files over, and putting it back in. This does work but I'd like a way to use either the Kies software built into the device (the Kies for Mac just waits at the "Connecting" stage and freezes, nor does Kies over WiFi work). I have a Windows Netbook but because of its storage limitations I want to use my iMac which has all of my media.

Is there perhaps a 3rd party solution? I don't mind using an Android app to do what I want it to do.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synt3k:
I use Android File Transfer

android dot com/filetransfer

It's just for Mac and works great.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titanshadow:
I couldn't get that to detect my Tablet. It just says no tablet is connected. Doesn't matter if I plug it in before I start android file transfer or after.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] amateurstanding:
Hey I appreciate any help provided. I went ahead and followed droidstyle's guide to rooting and then flashing a custom rom to my 16GB S3. I believe that I followed the steps correctly but experienced some boot loops after installing CWM and before flashing Bean's Custom Stock Rom. Eventually I was able get the device booted and everything worked great except that my 4G was not working. 3G was working properly. I then applied the most recent OTA modem thinking that this could remedy the problem without success. I ejected SIM, powered on the device without the SIM, powered off, and then repowered with SIM seated. Still no 4G. After, I figured that I'd try going back to bloated 4.0.4 but this did not fix the problem. It's also worth mentioning that while I was flashing back and fourth that I was unable to backup using Nandroid. A message indicating that a backup could not be saved was displayed. I read in another thread that formatting the internal SD should fix the problem but I'm a little worried that I may much something up (again) while doing so.

I'd really appreciate the help.

Thanks!

Install phone info apk from the market and select lte/cdma/evdo and should be ok
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] amateurstanding:
Worked like a charm. Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlangleyrn:
I have had essentially the same problem. I have added the phone info app, which really hasn't worked too much better, except that I can lock it into LTE only. When I put it on LTE/CDMA/EDVO it has 3G, but will never automatically switch to 4G. I have to put the phone into LTE only, so that it will pick it up. I did notice today that when in LTE only mode, I can't make any phone calls, text, etc and get a message about my service provider being unavailable. Has anyone else had this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Burgos0426:
Just give it some time eventually will switch to lte if you have lte coverage in your area
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlangleyrn:
I have given it days !! I was thinking Verizon was having LTE issues, but I have been in multiple towns, all with LTE and I don't have any LTE, unless I force it manually; problem is I don't have anything BUT data, because LTE only mode for some reason makes me only have data.

Is it normal to have data only, when in LTE only mode ???

I have been considering going back to unrooted and doing a factory wipe, but with the lack of being positive it will fix the issue, I hate to do that work. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1Android:
If u are rooted, wipe and reinstall rom. Same thing happened to me but was fixed as soon as i wiped.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] amateurstanding:
After a couple days of incredibly fast CM10, my S3 has decided to revert back to it's old ways. I'm not entirely sure what caused the issue the first time around nor do I have a clue what caused it this time. Also, I do not know what allowed me to begin receiving 4G/3G when this happened originally. I have my proper IMEI/MEID. I've tried booting the phone without SIM, shutting down, reinserting SIM with no luck. I've used Phone Info to try switching my network type with no luck. I've cleared cache in recovery (Haven't cleared Davlik). I've applied the pre-release modem from the most recent modem. Nothing seems to be working. Everything was working just about flawlessly for the last couple of days. I suppose that I'm at a loss. I've backed up my efs using adb... The next logical step is to reflash CM10 and see if that provides any difference. If that doesn't work I will go back to Bloated and move back into CM10.

I've been looking for something unique for the better part of 4 hours. Do you guys have any ideas?

I really do appreciate any help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ratledge:
Jump into your dialer, and press *2767*3855# and you'll reset your SIM card - and - that's what you need...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] amateurstanding:
Hey, I appreciate the response. I've tried entering in that number multiple times but its not yielding anything but 2 rings and the Verizon "lady" telling me that the call cannot be completed as dialed. I've seen this exact reply in about 5 other threads. I'm digging for sure. I'm going to go ahead and try Synergy since users are reporting a more reliable data connection.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ratledge:
No joy, eh? That completely reprovisions your phone, so it *should* be the trick. Interesting - works for me (I've munged my MEID twice, and this always brought it back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] amateurstanding:
Hey guys,

Just wanted everyone to know that I went ahead and flashed synergy. So far I've had no data issues. I can't wait until CM10 is working properly.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liwhitehat:
Besides the bluetooth problem I have with this thing (already posted), now I have another problem. I have T-Mobile, 10GB which includes tethering. EVERY time I try to connect my laptop to the s3, all I get is "waiting for the network." To hopefully simplify things, I've made the s3 an open connection. I spoke with Samsung support, suggested that I do a hard reset. Did that, no change, only suggestion was to exchange the handset. I did that, EXACT same problem! The laptop has never had a problem connecting with ANYTHING before, including my old TP2. USB tethering works.

Any ideas?

Been searching around, but couldn't find anything directly on this issue--

Is there any way to decrease the time that you need to hold the Home button to get the multitasking menu to pop up? As a side note, I've already disabled animations in the Developer Options, which helps to cut the time that it takes for the multitasking menu to become usable.

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CaLiSwEEPeR:
well idk if this will be useful, but just use a gesture on a launcher to open up the multitasking menu. I didn't like how long the delay was either so now all I have to do is pinch n zoom with apex launcher and it opens it up.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ghost77:
Disable S-Voice if you're not using it , it adds about half a seconds to long press waiting for double click action.

Its under S-Voice settings menu , and or just freeze the whole application.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] davidrqli:
I've been considering that, but I generally don't like mucking with launchers. We'll see, though--thanks for the suggestion.

Do you mean disabling the double-tap to launch or the entire application? The former doesn't seem to impact the multitasking menu launch delay, and I'd rather not go with the second option.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CaLiSwEEPeR:
no problem I hope you find a solution!

The JB roms we have have virtually no delay for the recent app window.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] davidstech11:
'Button Savior', I liked it so much I ended up getting the paid version. There is a free version to try. This allows me so much control without having to beat up my hardware buttons. Even the volume. Use it with a different launcher or not. It works either way.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] davidrqli:
I think that was applicable only to short-pressing the menu button (disabling double-tap to launch Siri gets rid of this delay anyways), and not the long-press Recent Apps menu, unfortunately.
