Good luck with Verizon they now charge $40 per line access charge on top of your data plan and the Max data is 10gb @ $100 so for 10gb data you pay $140+tax and their customer service is 100x worse than sprint. The bare minimum plan is like 2gb data @ $30 I think plus the $40 per line access charge so your paying $70+tax for 1 line with 2gb data if you have more than one line its $40 per additional line so 2lines + 2gb data = $110 + tax or more I can't remember for sure if 2gb is $30 or $40 all I know is its a rip off and they have no other plans now except this new shared data and unlimited calls and texts scheme which all the plans are over priced on top of having that ridiculous $40 per line access charge for a family of 4 you pay $160 just in access charges plus what even minimal amount of data you want tto share for 10gb that's $260 + tax for a family of 4, on sprint I pay $207 for 4 lines with unlimited everything including unlimited hotspots and that includes tax. I'd have to be retarded or just like giving away money to switch carriers. Not to mention I live in a semi rural area and they've already begun the network vision and lte deployment in my area, and many urban areas are already seeing lte which just hasn't been officially turned on but its active and you can use it.

Thanks for this. Good to know that Bay Area is next on the list. I wonder if that really is why voice calls are almost useless (at least for me). I would think they are different towers but I have no idea.

I actually found out new T-Mobile prepaid customers have access to a $30/month plan that gives 100 minutes, unlimited texting, and unlimited "4G" data with throttling after 5GB. And as far as devices go, I'll probably see if the next Nexus can support T-Mobile's network like the GNex can. If not I'll buy the GNex and wait for a better device.

I have been noticing awful reception issues. Wimax keeps fizzling out on me, and I don't know who says NYC seems to be getting good 3g cuz it sure as Hell isn't me. This is with CM9, TW based runs, everything. I am hoping that the rumored lte upgrade in November/December will help matters on the 3g front. I promised my wife the next upgrade when the new iPhone comes out. Hopefully my e4gt will keep me going till another upgrade comes around.

I hate sprint, I'm in CT and I get horrible service everywhere. Cant use the internet anywhere except my house with wifi. It sucks to have such a good phone with bad service.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bparkerson04:
I was not aware of this. I was thinking about leaving Sprint simply because of the horrible service I get...but it might be worth waiting out for the network upgrade to complete. I was told by a customer retention agent that the entire US would be upgraded in two years, and they are already working on Chicago here on the East Coast...so my area may only be a year or so away, plus getting an upgrade next September; that might work out nicely. The only carrier I would go back to is AT&T. I am only paying $10 per additional line per month. $40.00 is robbery, and a huge rip off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
The thing with vzw $40 is that's for every line 1 up to 10 10 lines you're paying 400$ ontop of your data plan and Max is 10 gb so you'd pay $500 plus tax for 1gb of data perline basically. And that's if someone on the plan doesn't eatup 6gbs for one line and leaves the other 9 to share 4gb between em. Vzw might as well come with a gun to the head when u sign up their plans are akin to robbery, and they are trying to force out grandfathered plans and force customers with just call/txt plans to go to smartphones only essentially forcing every customer to now pay their ridiculous rates whether you want to or not. If you don't like it you have to pay the etf or get sent to.collections and take a credit hit. My moms on vzw and they gave her 6months to change to a data plan(she uses a basic flip phone with no data whatsoever) she's been on her current plan since march and she either has to move her and my grandparents to a higher priced plan they don't want, pay the 350 per line etf on 4 lines and switch carriers or not pay the etf and taker a 1400$ collection on her credit. Its absolutely ludicrous.

hi all i just flashed nightly cm9 and my tab went nuts ...it auto shutdown when i disconnect the charger ( the batetry is 68 % ) so i flashed back to stock and now it is in a bootloop , i tried going into download mode but after flashing and all that still it bootloops ..even in flashing in cwm brings no good ....so any help ??
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
How do you restock.

Overcome GB stock safe v5 using Odin with pit file and repartition selected?
[Galaxy Tab General] TheATHEiST:
No, your not "bricked". If you can get into download or recovery your fine, a bootloop just means you screwed something up and didnt flash correctly or correct roim maybe.

Start over, restock using overcome guide/pack, then flash the correct cm9 via recovery for your model/variant.

No way to avoid stock when "only" CWM recovery is "gone"

Hi all,

the last CW-9 nightly update finally did it... boot loop and CWM recovery can not be selected any more (Vol UP and Power). Download mode (Vol DOWN and Power) works, but I would really hate to restock, because my only nandroid backup and Titanium backups are on the internal SD and that would get formatted in the process.

I looked around for other phones and it seems as if they can simply load an image of CWM 6.xxx via ODIN (I tried fastboot but that did not find my device at all).

I could not find any CWM V6 image as a .tar file anywhere. Anyony have a link?

Does anyone know a simple and fast way to get back my nandroid state WITHOUT restock?

Thanks

Anyway

[Galaxy Tab General] rgbigel:
Thanks pressed for that! At least now I know why fastboot did not work...

Still, does anyone know if I can fix the boot image with Odin ... or Heimdal or whatever?
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
Did yu read it or not?

The guy has your exact problem and solved.

But since you ask again.

extract the boot.img from good package and

heimdall flash --kernel ./boot.img --recovery ./boot.img
[Galaxy Tab General] rgbigel:
Yesss Sir, I did read. But maybe you sent the wrong link, because your "answer" (not his) points a an open question. Or how do you read his last sentence "does anybody know how I can go about doing this?" -- As to the heimdall solution, I tried that, only to find that it was unable to write to my internal SD. So, i guess the partition scheme got messed up :crying::crying::crying:

Anyway, I gave up (this time) and restocked. Back to my last accessible data backup from May...:crying:

Should somebody still find a "real" answer, please do respond. Even if the answer should be a clear "it can't be done", so be it. Or ask St. :angel: CDESAI to please please make "our" version of CW Reboot.
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
I sent you the right link for those who messed up their kernel .

If your partition gone bad then no wonder it won't work.

Now you have restocked, you can always start from scratch.

Yesterday i installed the Virtuous Infinity 1.33.0 Alpha 3 and my battery drained from 100% to 7% in 3 hours without using the cell phone. Has anybody else face this issue?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l33ch0r:
Nope, never had that issue.

Did you perform a fullwipe before flashing? (that is if you came from a previous alpha - your ROM probably wouldn't even run, if you flashed it over a totaly different ROM :D)

If you didn't, DO IT!

Then your problem could be related to any app or the fact that you maybe restored system settings or something else, really hard to say.

A clean installation (that means full wipe and then flash ROM) could get rid of this problem. Because it's definetely ROM-related since nobody in the official thread is crying and believe me, if that issue was ROM-related, everybody in this thread would've started crying already :D
[Xperia Arc General] papayayoghurt:
Hi

I like reading "Help Me, I have a problem" Theards in other devices Forums. There are sometimes answers like "restore /efs partition", "delete this file in /boot", "put this in /recovery", "the bootloader is uncompatible, flash version x" or "boot into bootloader"

Now I googled and searched much and found out, that the Sony 2011 Devices have no /efs, /boot or /recovery partition. So where does the devices store the IMEI, or the Kernel. And why does it has no stock recovery?

Secondly, what´s up with the Bootloader? Other devices get a new bootloader with every new update, Sony Devices can not even boot into it. Why does Sony make something like that. Booting in the bootloader and choosing "Recovery" or "Fastboot" is much easier then "plug in cable while pressing this or this key" or "pressing a key while booting"

For me, there is only one good thing about this:

No device is so difficult to brick like Sony Devices. And you can´t lose your IMEI, because nobody know where it is stored.

Happy Brainstorming

papayayoghurt
[Xperia Arc General] Someguyfromhell:
Sony devices have different kind of partitions, yaffs2. Our phones do have boot partition, that's where the kernel is located. Nothing more, so we don't need much to do there either, easier for us.

And to be honest, Recovery isn't that important. What would a regular user do with it? Nothing, because they don't need it. Okay, yes, we as xda users need it indeed, but there are lots of people, who use their phone for calling/SMSing, not flashing different ROMs every day.

Bootloader...where you take that Sony devices don't get new updates? Per every firmware, there is a specific file - loader.sin. Go check any firmware for 2011 Sony phone, check what is included in a ftf file :)

And boot inside the bootloader...why? Why is it needed?

And the IMEI and certain other important data are stored in a specific Sony's own file system, that can not be accessed by us. Neither do we know, where it is located. Unfortunately, I can't remember, how was that system partition called.
[Xperia Arc General] papayayoghurt:
Thank you for your post. I already saw the loader.sin very often, but I never thought that this is the bootloader, because its only 99kb big.

Do you know a file browser with wich you can enter /boot?

[Xperia Arc General] OverLo4d:
of course xperia devices have /boot partition, otherwise we can't have a kernel:p

we just can't browse it like the other partitions.
[Xperia Arc General] Someguyfromhell:
On our devices, the /boot partition cannot be accessed. Just like in Windows, you can't see Linux partitions.

And I think that loader.sin is bootloader, however I am not completely sure.

HI, I have looked around this website and others before I ask this so if i missed something I apologize. My goal is to have a complete backup of my android system. This includes all apps, system settings and game saves (so close to being done with angry birds). Which I believe is called a nandroid backup (?) I also want to backup my ebooks stored at /sdcard/Ebooks and my Masters of Orion 2 game saved in /sdcard/moo2. Will a nandroid backup do this? If not what could I use for a complete backup? I have used the toolkit using option 4 in the backup options however I only get 3 files appox 20mb in size total which cant be everything as bugless beast alone is 233mb without all my apps and data.

What am I missing? Thanx guys alot.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
Use titanium backup, works great for me.

Edit: a nandroid backup will backup everything into one lump sum. Titanium backup saves everything individually so you can restore say your game data after you wipe and install a new rom

+1 for ProClip. I find mine rock solid, and it is better located in my car than a suction cup or CD mount would be. The big con is that it's likely the most expensive mount on the market. Still, I'm glad I went with it.

I'm going to be going with the ProClip once I get my phone for both myself and my fiancee. It looks like it's great and will fit both of our cars. I still have my old suction cup mount that I've been using for a couple years now that I think would work well enough when I want to do dashcam stuff.

I got a universal mount from DX (SKU 81246 if the link does not work). It works well and was inexpensive. That being said, I had the Samsung mount for my Fascinate which would put the phone into car mount mode when you plugged it into the micro-USB which IMHO is superior to any of the universal mounts in many ways. Anybody know if Samsung will be releasing a mount like this for the S3?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] dhjean:
I have the powered ProClip dock that plugs into the socket on my dash (not the one you have to wire in). Mine holds my phone tightly enough to use in landscape, and that is how I keep it. I slide the phone in and out from the right side, and it works great.

iBOLT dock with car mode & integrated 9 ft cable...

Our iBOLT Dock (www.ibolt.co/ibpf-33307) works the same way as the old S2 car dock. It puts the phone into car mode (sVoice) but you can download the CarHome Ultra and this application will install itself as the default app opening when inserted into the Dock if you want. With CarHome you can drag and drop apps, short numbers or just about anything to your car home screen.

The dock also comes with a 9ft (yes, 2.7 meters!) long charging/aux-out cable. This allows you to place the Car Dock on the left side of the steering wheel and tuck the cable down the drivers door, under the carpet and up to the center console for USB charging and 3.5 aux-in. The home screen also turn horizontal. Look the video and see if this is an option... Feel free to contact us and ask questions.

Hi, I am searching a good ROM for my girlfriend´s X10i. I have tried many but always I have been having problems. I´m on LOCKED BOOTLOADER

- First, I installed Feralab v20 for LB. But I suffered for random reboots and some slowdowns.

- Second, I tried JAF rom, but, like with v20, I suffered random reboots. I think my phone doesn´t like Ferakernel...

- Third, I tried X10S v8.3, first with stock SE kernel, and I had battery drain problems, then I switch to Doomkernel without overclock for LB, and I also suffered battery drainage problems.

- Forth, I tried stock SE 2.3.3, with bravia, sound stutter and FPS Unlock, and it gives me an error when trying to activate WIFI :crying:

- Now, I am with DiXperia v8 Extraordinary, Stock Version, but sometimes my phone is in the PIN access screen, like it has been rebooted.
