i've been a TMO customer for about 5 years. in May, i was trying to take advantage of a "special offer" through work to save a couple bucks and tried Sprint. dropped calls and slow data, so i cancelled a week later. in trying to cancel, it seemed Sprint's people couldn't get their crap together. not the worst experience, just expected more.

yup and with t-mobile having that truly unlimited data sept 5 it looks even better. i had sprint and they suck. my cousin wants to switch his s2 doesnt even get 1mbps down! we live right near eachother i get 18 down. all i can say is like the one guy said make sure u have tmobiles hspa+ in your area and there is good coverage

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
T-mobile value plans are a really good deal. My house has zero coverage from any carrier so wifi calling is freaking fantastic. This is my first cellphone and the technology is finally where I need it to be! I'm on the 2gb plan and use mostly wifi but its great to know I won't be hit with a huge fee for going over. Coverage is good in ghe SF bay area and around downtown DC. Also good in LAX, SFO and DFW. I think any major area will be good. If you do live in the sticks wifi calling beats every other carrier. Google voice is an option but it's nice having one number and no fuss.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ky0nkyon:
you won't get hit for fees even if you go over, just throttled speeds. congrats on your move. i can't wait till i do too.

No signal or low signal? If you get signal anywhere in the building of at least 2 bars you can qualify for a signal booster. It will extend the 2 bar signal into an area where u don't get any. I got it for free cause I don't get great reception in my room at home But I do in another area. Tmo isn't that great at penetrating building sometimes But not all the time. Another option is use Wi-Fi calling. You can also add unlimited Wi-Fi calling minutes so it doesn't deduct your allowed minutes. Log on to you account And add it as a service option. It's free.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shook187:
Thanks for the info, I'll look into it. I dont care much about calling. What i need here at work is data. I have a Nexus 7 tablet and tether it with my sprint phone.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aznmode:
Then the signal booster is exactly what you need as it will extend all voice and 4g/2g data signal to the area where you're getting no coverage.

---------- Post added at 05:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:33 PM ----------

I dont know if this is still the case. Whenever im on 2g I dont go over 100kbps. Maybe this depends on your area. But if max is 200 then I doubt you will get that unless you are really that close to a tower which would inturn give you 4g speed anyhow if youre already that close.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jpirog:
Just my two cents here, but I switched from Sprint to T-Mobile a month or so ago, and I've been happier than ever with T-Mo. Had previously been with Sprint for 10+ years and just about had it since I was getting no service in Dallas. Switched over to T-Mobile, 4G pretty much everywhere, and I use wifi calling everywhere I can. I also work at home..so pretty much wifi calling all the time. Won't ever go over minutes and it's pretty cheap.

Happy customer here.

After being with Sprint for 12 yrs and switching to TMO in August I have no regrets. I had the Evo LTE on Sprint's nonexistent LTE and 3G for that matter in a first launch city (DFW) and I finally jumped ship after I found out that I can save $40 per month on Tmobile after factoring the extra $30 for 3 lines of premium data and the increase in the insurance by $3 per line. My internet speeds are as high as 18mbps inside buildings in the DFW and call quality is very good. I will say that TMO will try and nickel and dime you so you really have to stay on top of them when you switch to make sure your account reflects what you think it should and make sure all of your discounts are applied.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
I was on layover at DFW and hit 26/2mbps. It's the highest I've seen anywhere I've tested so far. And higher than my comcast :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] scifan:
I switched in August as well... My only frustration was with roaming data cut off at 50 mb...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] real_khali:
I've been with T-Mobile for a year now and I love it.

I have Unlimited everything and paying about $100

49.99 Unl text/talk

$20 truly unlimited data

7.99 insurance

$15 for my monthly phone payment plan. So after that's done I'll be paying roughly $80 or so.

Almost forgot...I also get %10 discount with my company :cool:

I get 10Mbs+ almost everywhere in the Orlando area. Inside buildings and apartments can get a little rough. But at home, school and work is perfect for me. I've gotten as high as 27mbs at home once.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] FlyingsCool:
It all depends on how you define 4G (4th Generation). If HSPA is 3G, then some could consider HSPA+ 4G. They are not saying it's LTE.

And who cares anyway, HSPA+ is basically about as fast as LTE as far as users are concerned at the moment.

As long as TMo calls it 4G, and my phone says 4G, and what people are suggesting is check with TMo and make sure your area has 4G coverage, I'm gonna call it 4G.

And, yeah, I like my TMo. Price is ok, it just sucks when I go west of 495 in MA.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] JesseMT4G:
Been with T-Mobile 6 years now and majority of the time I have been happy with them. Best Customer Service by far and carry great products and cheapest plans.

Only downfall is their spotty network. I can be outside in an area and get 4G and when I go inside I go to EDGE, which sucks as inside is a lot of downtime where I work and can't stream for crap on EDGE.

Good thing I am outside most the time, lol!

Definitely better than Sprint. Then again you are on a T-Mobile sub forum for the S3, lol! Our views may be skewed just a tad.

In my area the service is okay. However, at home we are in a 4G dead spot. Go up the street 3 blocks and you can get 4G.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Bigjim1488:
My only complaint with T-Mobile is that their service is so hit or miss. In my town some spots I crush the data speeds and others are just terrible like under a meg a second. Speeds are always slow in buildings as well. I might get stuck staying with att. They aren't fast like T-Mobile but their speeds are usually a consistent 1.5-3mb
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Master_sk3:
I use to be a Tmobile customer but i switched to sprint and now im thinking of switching back mostly because im tired of waiting for network vision to give me lte so i can get good network speeds. Also Tmobiles refarming strategy seems attractive to me mainly beacause theyre going to put hspa+ on a more commonly used band worldwide which would given a bigger pull to pick devices from. Plus theyre planning on launching LTE on a band that will be widely used in North America. So fast hspa+ and lte speeds on commonly used bands with unlimited data and i can just get an unlocked phone instead of on from the carrier.. Im definitely thinking.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] babyboy8100:
Almost the same story for me too. except that i started on Tmobile with the G1 - Nexus One, However i was lured to sprint for their "4G' service that was none existent and an awesome phone (Epic touch 4G) loved that phone but the speeds were awful at home voice calls immediately dropped. I had "3G" running at 5-12kbps it was painful other than my house reception was great everywhere else but i kept missing phone-calls left and right people started thinking i didnt wanna answer my phone lol. Then i actually started to wait for the Galaxy note 2 to come out to Tmobile so that i can switch next thing you know i saw a GS3 in person next day i canceled my contract told sprint to billed me and went an open up a line at Tmobile i love the Unlimited 4G here at home :) Even if people say its not 4G trust me i use to get 8-12mbps on Wimax im getting the same speeds or better. Im very happy i moved back to Tmobile.

Im still up in the air, i have a year left on my sprint contract but come this February, I might come back to Tmobile and by then i shoulve been able to test Sprints LTE. But if the next nexus comes out (depending on who makes it) i might just buy it and leave ealry.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ArkAngel06:
I switched a few days ago, and I couldn't be happier. My house is not in the most populated area, and most carriers have pretty bad coverage here. I got the Airave thing that gives you a mini tower in your house for free which was nice, but really there were a lot of places I would go with Sprint and still not have service. Sprint actually had 4g WiMax in my area, but only at a few places. But the speed was only 4-6 Mb/s.

With T-Mobile, I have full bars at home, with 4g. Speed is around 15-18 Mb/s. Also, as far as cost, my Sprint bill was nearly $200 a month for 2 lines with shared 1500 Minutes, and unlimited text/data. On T-Mobile it's only $120 with 1000 minutes, and unlimited text/data.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] papabear:
T-mo FTW!, in the specific spot I live I end up with EDGE at home. but its as decent as standard DSL.. Usually sitting around 250kbps/DL and 300kbps+/UL. But, not usually home so doesnt matter much in that aspect. Always have good signal tho.

We've been with T mobile for a few years now. Their value plans are definitely hard -if not impossible- to beat price wise especially when bundled with their corporate discount. We live urban so reception has never really been a problem. It's something to consider though for those who live a little off the beaten path. As for us, we're getting great data speeds here in Seattle.

Oohh. It looks like the protection plans add a bit, too. Still, it's weird that my bill is only $10 more with 2 extra lines. I don't have TEP on any lines.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Furik:
My question is in regards to bigger game titles on Google Play. For example, the game HORN, is 1.8GB. Our internal storage (on the SGS4G) is roughly 512MB. Will this game still install (to my SD card) if I purchase it? How much space will it literally be taking internally?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] th3controller:
Obviously yes, lol it would be stupid for the developer to make it default to internal storage. But yes it will automatically install towards your SD Card.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] brandonc0526:
The app itself will, at most, be 30 MB and the 1.8 GB will download to the SD card once you open the app. That 1.8 GB is a warning for people on limited data plans, that way they don't buy the app thinking its only 30 MB and then getting slapped with a DL prompt for almost 2 gigs

I tried to root my wife's Sprint Samsung S3 Galaxy 4G (SPH-D710) running ICS 4.0.4. I viewed the entirety of the QBKing77 video (which was linked to this forum, so it should have worked for my phone) on YouTube before trying anything and I followed the directions carefully.

When I tried to download CWM Recovery using Odin, it failed with the following:

After this, the phone will no longer reboot. It gets to a screen which has the following information:

Odine Mode
Product Name: SPH-D710
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official

Firmware Upgrade Encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & Try Again...

I have tried the following, all with no luck:

Pressing the Volume Up while powering on to get to the recovery menu

Pressing Volume Up and Volume Down while powering on to get to the recovery menu

Trying to download CWM Recovery a second time

Trying Kies recovery mode

The only thing which "works" is a firmware upgrade and reset via Kies, but I would truly prefer to find a route which preserves my data. Based on my reading, I can use Odin to download the stock ICS and that should help, but where can I find that file? Is there some other approach I can try.

Please help! Many thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jarredw:
Why did you use Odin? There is a free app that will flash cwm from the phone itself.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] douglasf01:
Honestly, I believe Kies would be your best bet in this situation, I had to do it to my VZW gs3 the other day.

To answer your question, yes there are stock images out there you can flash with ODIN. http://samsung-updates.com/ this link will have the latest firmware available in a zip file to download.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] maxpowerSr:
I hope you get this sorted.

When I first started with the SG3, I used Odin to push a ROM that was rooted, then used adb to push recovery. Since then, there is an app, as stated above, that will program a new recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] groston:
You guys rock!

douglasf01 - thanks for the pointer. I downloaded the kernel and things are back to the way they were.

my 2 cents, don't get a KaysCase case unless you want something cheap, disposable, fake leather, and not a flush perfect fit. Mine came with a couple of defects, and the front doesn't lay flush on the tablet which causes it to slightly obscure the front camera. It does what I need it to do, but I intend to replace it down the line when there is something good being made that doesn't compromise on function.

I'll give a second vouch for i-Blason, via Amazon;

http://www.amazon.com/i-BLASON-Samsung-Galaxy-tablet-Leather/dp/B008L2WS8Q/ref=pd_cp_e_1

For $13 I'm surprised of the quality really, and the PU 'leather' it uses feels more like real leather than many real leather products I've seen. The case has a little stretch loop, that is actually about the entire length of the s-Pen, which is handy place to stash the pen quick if you put your tablet down for some reason. Fit is great, all the ports and button have access, the only 'grip' really is that when the cover is closed, the spine of the case blocks the charging port, which does not have a cutout on this part of the case. So to charge the tablet in the case, you must leave the lid open.

Just curious if anyone knows if the touch-display functionality on the atrix will work with HDMI mirroring when connected to a touch-sensitive external display?

Curious as I'm contemplating getting one to setup in my car in the center console, idea is to replace a display in my center console with a touch-sensitive one and run 1x HDMI & 1x USB cable into my arm rest storage area where the phone can reside.

Would be nice if it worked, I could have android on a larger display in the car, internet, navigation .. etc etc... seen guys do this with some tablets but I'd like to see if I could run it off the Atrix.. could even wire the audio to an 'Aux Input' on the back of my radio and use the phone to play music on my car's system.

Similar idea to the padfone concept, just different application.

Just don't know if the touch-screen functionality is native when its connected over HDMI or not, anyone ever messed with it?
