Im sorry but do people stand in line over night for a Samsung device? No! Why? Because it's made out of very cheap plastic & just isn't appealing. It was designed by lawyers wtf? Last time I checked they went to school for law not design.

The next big thing will be on sept 21. Sammy always says it's already here when it really isn't. Same thing they said about the s2 when the screen had a ppi of like 217 compared to 326... Really? Sammy is a carbon copy. Why bash apple If they don't have insecurities ?

It is interesting you being on here with your name claiming that you love androids and yet without a good thin to say about them. I am glad that you are excited about your new iphone but just move on. I can not say that you are a troll since you have been around for a while and but this just seems a little pointed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NWLONEWOLF87:
Seriously "iloveandroid16" :what::thumbdown: have fun not being able to do as much as you can with a Samsung... especially when your batt goes to crap. I had every iPhone up to the iPhone 4 and IMO they weren't worth the money.

What!! Every Apple keynote they talk about everyones number and how they sit on the off everything go watch a keynote
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mac208x:
Because they can and apple can't do these kind of things since their phone does not even come close to most of the phones out there. How long did it take apple to finally put copy paste? A 5 mp camera? A hd screen? Oh wait what about ram?. Iphone and apple is just a big hype and a phone that plenty of idiots are able to use.

I think of it more as a 'hey you may have sued us and won a battle but we are still winning the war" type of thing. Kinda like they are not afraid of taking apple head on at their own game. I find it amusingly classic.

please i need help i have evo 4g lte rooted﻿ with s on i download cm10 now i want to flash anther rom but i cannot and also i cannot restore the rom i already have back up it see no ios can you tell me pleas how to do it ..thank you
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] osmosizzz:
Make sure you are bootloader unlocked. (im assuming so. Load to your ROM and install flash gui form the market. Then download desired rom and place on sd card. Once you have done that, open the downloaded rom with flash gui and it will install the kernel, then go into twrp recovery and flash rom. if you dont have twrp 2.2+ recovery, search how to install it. you already have root so it should not be a problem
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
I assume you have gotten yourself stuck. Assuming it is a stock ROM and you have aosp currently, you could 1.flash back and use flash GUI, 2. flash back and use htc dumlock, or 3. you could unzip the ROM package you are trying to flash and copy the boot image to adb tools and with the phone in fastboot, flash it using the command fastboot flash boot boot.img

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sutliff:
What is the actual "home/lock" screen(s) resolution on this S3? Cropping a small portion to show of a beautiful full picture is getting maddening.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Install home and lock screen wallpapers separately, don't choose the combined option. Cropping is only for the lock screen, you'll get full picture/resolution on home and lock screens doing them separately.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sutliff:
FWIW: I have never tried to set them both together. I do them separately, & still have the same issue.

The "images" I have are to large & constantly start with the crop tool in the center of the image & I can only move it around & make the crop area smaller & essentially zoom in on the image, not "engulf" the entire image.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoaboy:
I just finished flashing my Nexus 7 back to complete stock using the Nexus Factory images, and I am at a complete loss as to why my device now shows only 6GB of total capacity (not free, TOTAL) instead of the roughly 16GB I should see on my Nexus 7.

Did this happen before? And Where did you buy it from?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoaboy:
Hi Ryan, thanks for your response.

I've had the tablet for some time and it was reporting storage space properly prior to flashing the stock image. Purchased direct from Google Play.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakdroid:
Hmm weird, the other way around here possibly. I just got my replacement (8gb) today and I just saw it has 16gb. Unfortunatly i didnt check this before unlocking/rooting/flashing. I am unsure if they just packaged this device wrong, it says 8GB on the label or if something went wrong.

Id just fill it up with more than 8GB of data but who knows where the data goes if it really is a 8gb device, so i wont.

I have no idea how partition tables work, but does the nexus toolkit alter it in some way?

@OP did you use the nexus toolkit?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmm200:
My own suspicion would be that you flashed an 8 gb image onto a 16gb device. Would not be surprised if they had some Rom bits for memory configuration.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoaboy:
No toolkit used. This was done entirely with the device sitting at the bootloader and using native Fastboot commands to erase the partitions first, then flash the partitions with the official Nexus image straight from Google.

There's only one image, so I don't believe there is any difference between whether you flash it on a 8GB or 16GB device.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dakdroid:
Hmm my cssn doesnt match the serial number in "about tablet".

So i have no way to figure out the real storage space of this device?

@whoaboy here is a fix for your problem:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1776860&page=2
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoaboy:
You and I arrived at the same solution at the same time!

I ended up running "fastboot -w update 'official-zip-image-file'"

It ran though the entire automated script and while it looked like it did everything I did manually, after the reboot, I was back to 13.24GB of storage available.

Thank you for your assistance!
[Thunderbolt General] jonah1234:
Hello XDA, i have some sad news for you guys. Well, Verizon's new dumb as F*** policy is when you use your upgrade you areNO LONGER ALLOWED to have unlimited data plan!!!!!! I AM DEPRESSED. WHY VERIZON WHYYYYYYY!
[Thunderbolt General] quickdraw86:
... it's been that way since the introduction of the shared data plans, this is nothing new.
[Thunderbolt General] heath2805:
So just buy a nice phone online somewhere. Then your not technical upgrading and keep unlimited data.
[Thunderbolt General] reg442:
That's why I buy phones of eBay or craigslist with cracked screens or bad LCD. And fix them.. I've never paid more that 150 for a phone.. I have 2 tbolts that I need to fix more and a rezound... I'm never upgrading as long as people are clumsy...Lol
[Thunderbolt General] technope:
The Gazelle store on ebay has some nice, gently used phones. It's probably where I'll be getting my next phone from.
[Thunderbolt General] plambda:
Yeah, I thought everyone knew this.

To keep unlimited, never use your upgrade, ever.

That said, I think VZW will probably end unlimited completely in the near future.
[Thunderbolt General] heath2805:
I've bought some really nice ones off eBay, mint condition too. Worked great as soon as they were rooted lol
[Thunderbolt General] jonah1234:
Yeah but It is more expensive :(

[Thunderbolt General] chrootz:
+1 - No everyone knew, My TBolt still on contract till December 1 however I can able keep my unlimited account by buying full retail price of Samsung GSIII and No ETF fee at all! I can't complain! :D

I did ask one of my buddy who work for Verizon and he said that they will not end unlimited (grandfathered) completely unless you volunteer upgrade eligible or upgrade smartphone replace the current grandfathered phone.
[Thunderbolt General] OneFast3:
Yeah I was looking the other day at phones and just had to ask also. No go for the unlimited on new phone unless you pay full price.

But I knew the answer before I even went in.
[Thunderbolt General] RBarnett09:
I actually went to Verizon yesterday and talked to a guy about the plans.

Yes, Verizon will no longer have unlimited data available to anyone... no matter if you're "grandfathered" in.

However, check your monthly data usage... you might be surprised at how little of data you actually do use each month.

Turns out that when it comes time for me to change my plan, I'll be saving more money from month to month.

This does vary from person to person, though. It's definitely worth looking at.

You can also keep your unlimited data by not renewing your contract and buying a phone from offline somewhere or at full price from Verizon. Just call Verizon and tell them you need to make an ESN swap to active your new phone.
[Thunderbolt General] quickdraw86:
so, you're saying that ALL unlimited plans will be axed in the future? i've done my own research, and don't want to debate at all either way, but am unsure what you meant in your post.
[Thunderbolt General] bostonbassman78:
I heard that u can keep your unlimited but just like he said u will have to pay full price for your phone if u wanna keep it that is what I was told by a vzw rep. I personally burn about 13-14 GB a month so I do not wanna lose my unlimited lol
[Thunderbolt General] quickdraw86:
that's what i was told by several VZW reps. as well. when i called and spoke to a phone rep., she told me that VZW would never force paying unlimited customers (grandfathered) onto any other plans to continue service. how accurate that is, only time will tell.
[Thunderbolt General] bostonbassman78:
They better not get rid if it lol I already have 700$ saved for the next nexus whatever and whoever makes it lol
[Thunderbolt General] RBarnett09:
They won't get rid of it if you currently have the unlimited data plan unless you renew or sign a contract. Unlimited data is no longer an option with the service plan.

As long as you keep the Verizon service and do not sign into another contract, unlimited data will be with you.

If you want to upgrade to another phone, you'll have to buy it off of the internet from someone or walk into Verizon and pay full price for the phone only... without starting a new contract or plan.

This is the only way you can avoid losing unlimited data.
[Thunderbolt General] quickdraw86:
yeah, no kidding. my monthly data average is too obscene to be posted here!
[Thunderbolt General] bostonbassman78:
Lmfao
[Thunderbolt General] RBarnett09:
You will not be able to change from one phone to another online anymore either.

If you do, it will tell you that changing to this device requires a change to your plan.

If you want to change from the Thunderbolt to... let's say a Galaxy S3, you'll have to call Verizon and talk to a customer service rep. and they will have to change it for you. Just tell them you need to make an ESN swap from the Thunderbolt to the Galaxy S3 and they will have no problem what so ever in changing it over for you without making any changes to your "plan"... even if you don't technically have one and they will not force you into a contract either. *At least not yet* and let's hope it stays that way.

Verizon will not turn down paying customers.
[Thunderbolt General] DS36:
Does buying a phone at full price, still get coverage by insurance just in case I damage it?
[Thunderbolt General] bostonbassman78:
As long as u pay for insurance I don't see why they wouldn't
[Thunderbolt General] geoff5093:
When I bought my GS3 at a Verizon store for full price, they offered insurance to me.
[Thunderbolt General] trapperjohn:
Hi,

Something to keep in mind yes you will not lose unlimited if you upgrade with your own phone just doing an esn swap. But they can in the future throttle the unlimited which for most people will make it become useless and would switch plans or companies.

Thanks,

Bryan
[Thunderbolt General] quickdraw86:
per Verizon's agreement with the FCC, they aren't allowed to throttle 4G. on speeds besides 4G, yeah, throttling will happen.
[Thunderbolt General] trapperjohn:
Hi,

That's for now which is great to hear thanks. All verizon needs to do is apply to the fcc for a change. Doesn't at&t throttle?

I hope I am wrong.

Thanks,

Bryan
[Thunderbolt General] tsnstuff:
I switched to the share data plan and I'm happy but I never used too much data. Always less than 4GB and that's because I used to never ever turn on wi-fi. Now I turn on Wi-Fi at home and last month we didn't even use 2GB.

My fear was that if I paid full price for a phone and continued without a contract, well, I didn't have a contract, so I figured they could make any changes they wanted and I wouldn't really be able to complain.
[Thunderbolt General] RBarnett09:
Yes, AT&T does. I'm pretty sure everyone does at some point. Lol.

If you went to the 4GB plan, you're probably saving money now... right?

That's true, they could do that... but most likely won't. Verizon actually does tend to value their paying and long term customers, but have been know to kind of take advantage of some people.

Paying full price for a phone at Verizon if you do not plan on buying insurance is pointless and by far too expensive. I recommend buying from a private seller and getting the phone for twice as cheap... because in that case, if something were to happen to your phone, its not insured anyways.

But if you want insurance on it, buy through Verizon or someone who offers insurance.
[Thunderbolt General] jonah1234:

Are you freaking serious? Screw Sprint, Not worth and their coverage really very bad. The speed test on Sprint isn't good at all. :rolleyes:

[Thunderbolt General] feered:
I was aware of them knocking people off the unlimited data plan, but not when you upgrade your device. My father just upgraded his phone to a Motorola RAZR and retained his unlimited data plan.

The associate said the only time they eliminate the unlimited data plan is when you make changes to your plan. Matter of fact, my dad was on an entirely different plan and then switched to my family plan and still kept his unlimited data.

I have a sneaky feeling i can pull this off, if i pay the full price for the GN2.
[Thunderbolt General] donnyp1:
Not a chance. Any chsnge in plan will result in loss of unlimited data
[Thunderbolt General] DS36:
not even if i do it online right now before i order the phone. all im doing is adding minutes and text to my current plan, then order the phone later for full retail pricing?

what do you think?
[Thunderbolt General] RBarnett09:
If its is a Verizon thing, it won't happen. Unlimited data isn't offered at all. If you have unlimited data now that you want to keep, you can't make any changes to anything.. including minutes or text. You're stuck. =/

Was going to try this out as my plan B. He says he has friends working in Verizon that can hook guys like us up. http://www.mrcellphoneunlocker.com/V2/products.php?product=VZW_DATA. Its seems a little shady but its worth a shot. For a subsidised upgrade and a fully unlimited plan while keeping your previous unlimited data. Also they have a 10% employee discount plan. Check out the site and post what you guys think.

Not sure but when I try it out, I'll be sure to post up the results. But I think voice and text will be unlimited along with data. For $100 I think its worth it. And the 10% employee discount would be a sweet deal with the gsn2.
