[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Teo032:
thanks guys, now whats with the threads that says at&t has been blocking all 3rd party tethering apps and stuff like that? Is that only in reference to stock rooted?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] annulation:
I upgraded from a 3G phone a few weeks ago with a grandfathered unlimited plan and although I had to get a new data plan, it has stayed unlimited (and same price) with the new ATT GS3. I called ATT customer service about a week after my phone was activated to verify my data plan and when I asked if they could waive the activation fee, they obliged no questions asked. I get LTE, now that it is available in my area, and my plan is still unlimited. Every tethering app I've tried works, including cwm USB tether and foxfi, but that is not to say they won't/can't notice I'm using it. Tethering apps are blocked in the app store when I look on my phone, but I downloaded them on a PC, put the apk on the phone, and installed that way.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Teo032:
Oh thanks! I understand what the others meant by it being blocked by at&t now. Can't we spoof the play store to another carrier like T-Mobile so it shows the apps? I would test this but I'm not on att nor have a gs3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] waiters:
They don't need to detect apps to see if you are tethering.. They can tell from the data on their network.

You will most likely get caught and get a warning. When you tether again after the warning they will force you off unlimited and onto the 5gb plan.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] WattB006:
I am grandfathered in as well and I am still on the unlimited plan and still get LTE. I am getting around 40MB/sec download. I have got warned twice by ATT about tethering but they never switched my plan. I tether to my wife's iPad and my Kindle Fire all the time and ATT has not sent me anything in like 6-8 months.

I bought the Chichitec 2500mAh extended battery pack and they work very well. I get on average a minimum of 4hr screen on with lowest brightness as oppose to 2hrs and change with the stock. I also use jucedefender and I rarely talk on the phone. I would recommend them.

I have that one, it isn't bad, but it isn't great either.

Typical Chinese quality (Samsung is spelled Sanmsung and Galaxy is spelled Galyxa when you actually get it).

Battery life is, well, I dunno. It's hard to say. My phone was at 57% charge, I turned on the extended case and without any use it charged my phone back to 100% no problem but the extended battery was pretty much dead. I'm sure it works better when both the phone and extended are charged to 100%. The AC/DC converter inside the case is VERY inefficient and gets VERY hot. Don't even bother attempting to charge the extended battery while the phone is in it, I'm suspecting it will catch fire or melt lol...

I like how it has a power button and the kick stand works. The case is very sung and everything lines up properly so for build quality I give it a 10.

The USB port pass through is CHARGE ONLY, data pins are missing so it kinda sucks if you use OTG devices or need to plug it into the PC to transfer files etc. But all in all you get what you pay for.

My friend has the Hyperion 4200mah with NFC. It works excellent, double the battery life. He usually gets 3-4 days with normal use out of the phone without charging (but that depends on person to person).

I just bought another oem battery and always have an extra one on the wall charger. I probably swap out once a day.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteWidows:
I was proposed an offer to trade my ET4G for a GNex. Im considering doing it. What we want to do is the nice lady that wants my phone is to use her upgrade for the GNex then when she receives the phone trade it for my ET4G (She like Touchwiz, I prefer AOSP). What Im concerned about is if Sprint will allow this exchange to happen right after she receives it. I don't want them to hit her for the full amount or anything like that. She plans on calling in ans saying she doesn't like the phone and wants to add swap the phones. Will Sprint allow this to happen right after she receives the phone? I kinda hate to leave the ET4G but LTE is lighting up soon in Chicago and where I live there is no WiMax.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] F3L1XZS:
Up to what I know, yes, Sprint will let you do this, they'll just make you activate it on her account, resign the 2 year agreement on her account, then you can do the swap. The only thing is, buy the phone directly from Sprint, not Simplexity or something. If you buy it from Simplexity, they'll hit her with the full price, but directly bought from Sprint is A ok.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
So long as it is an upgrade and not a new customer, it's ok. She doesn't even have to make up that story. What I would advise, though, is to wait to do the trade until after the 14 day is up, simply to be safe guarded if the device is defective out of the box. Not saying that the ESN swap voids our policy, but it would just make it logistically tough in a retail store, with how it would look on our end.

Also, she'll need an inactive phone to complete the transaction. We can't just flip-flop two different accounts' ESNs simultaneously, and an account can't be left without an ESN, even temporarily. She'll need to activate another phone (not yours, since it's tied to your account, unless you activate another phone instead of her), the gnex will then be inactive and free to go on your account, and then you can put your E4GT on hers.

What this all really amounts to is that this whole transaction will be much much easier in a store than over a phone lol.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Imadroider:
He is exactly right. Listen to him
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] z31k:
Damn, I thanked you on accident. If I may interject... You are correct up until the whole inactive phone part. Sales Rep should contact NSS and they should be able to do the flip flop over the phone... At least that is what I gather from past experience.. :highfive:

If NSS gives you a hard time simply hang up and call again until you speak to someone who knows what they are doing.. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] squshy 7:
Lol this is correct, though I know many in my store would rather do it themselves to save some time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] WhiteWidows:
Thanks everyone! Now I need to decide if I want to leave the ET...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dmonger11b:
Well if they want an esn on the account at all times and she is using her upgrade then she would have a phone with a clean esn that you could swap your phone for then she swaps your e4gt to her account and then you swap the GNex on to yours. Yes its a lot of extra work but its an option if you have to have an active phone on both accounts
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EggosEvo:
I'm leaving it for the Nexus. My sister want my E4GT and her upgrade is available next month, so she wants me to take her upgrade and give her my phone. I'm leaving sprint in December anyways, so it's not worth getting a phone like the S3 or Evo LTE. And the iPhone is a definite no anyways.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tietganFTW:
Hi, my friend recently tried to flash cm9 with his stock recovery! (Thats absurd but yea, he did it.). Now it doesn't get pass the boot screen. I went into download mode and tried to flash stock rom via ODIN. After flashing the stock rom, I tried rebooting but came across a white screen. While i had the white screen, ODIN was able to detect my device, thus I assume that the white screen is download mode.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBlackWolf:
Have u tried to boot into recovery after returning to stock or just getting white screen??
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tietganFTW:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
No, as long as its a firmware for your model, then there shouldn't be any problem. Try a full package (the one with phone, pda, etc.), since it usually fixes bad flashes of cm9 and cm10.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
No the old versions of the app will tell you to update and the new versions of the app will not work on a non-Verizon phone. Even if you changed the build.prop you'd probably still get issues since it looks for the actual VZW account tied to the phone for billing purposes.

[Nexus S General] armada786:
HTC Thunderbolt user here. I have an upgrade with Verizon in the coming month, but I'm considering leaving my line on the family plan to a sibling and getting a GSM phone with tmobile bands. Would you guys say a used Nexus S is still a good buy, or should I just jumo to the Galaxy Nexus? Can't convince myself that both extending my contract and getting the gimped VZW GNex right now though. Anyway, if you could share your opinions, I'd appriciate it. Thank you.
[Nexus S General] Exit_Only:
Wait til October when Google releases the new Nexus Devices.
[Nexus S General] patrickjaden:
I thought it was November?
[Nexus S General] armada786:
Unless Google offers it at $350 also, probably priced out of what I can really afford. Though maybe it'd bring the GNex price down. Good advice. Oct/Nov is when my upgrade is anyway so I can decide then.
[Nexus S General] q711179:
My 2 cents

The Nexus S is a fine phone, depending what you planning on doing with it. I would not recommend purchasing on a contract, but as an interim phone it should work great.

I personally found that I rarely used my phone as, you know, a phone and began resenting paying a high price for talk time I was barely using (Sprint). So I purchased a Nexus S off of ebay and use it strictly as a voip sourced phone using VOX over wifi.

To fill my need for a larger screen I picked up a Galaxy Tab (only $50) and use a 2 gig data plan with Verizon for $30/mo for when wifi not available as it comes with built in tethering. Though as an after thought I am wishing I went with the T Mobile 100/min and 5gig for $30/mo. The size of the Nexus S works in my particular case and easily upgrades to even JB so I am a happy flasher.

The Nexus S works great for a phone to have some fun while waiting for that next great thing, but might disappoint over the long haul against some of the current and upcoming monster phones.
[Nexus S General] madd0g:
If you're buying 2nd hand, I'd say GN is worth the extra 100$(€) difference.
[Nexus S General] xAyla:
Hi,

I had a Nexus S for years and, this phone ils absolutely perfect except two things.

No MHL compatibility: You can't put your screen phone on a TV or anything else..

No notification LED: I couldn't live without it after switching from x10 mini pro to Nexus S.

Last advice, if you get Nexus S, try installing SlimICS + Holo Launcher HD for a 2/3 day battery life by enabling the phone to only receive calls when the screen is off. (You can add things like sync every hours or such).

If you also want MHL, check for Samqung Galaxy S II.
[Nexus S General] hummer010:
It all depends on what you want. I like the size of the Nexus S. Its bigger than an iPhone, but way more portable than a Galaxy S3. The hardware is still decent. It runs JB just fine. Battery life is very good too.
[Nexus S General] wchrisyu:
Tmobile has been cheap and a definite carrier upgrade to ATT in my area.

I want real carrier and phone upgrades instead of incremental ones.

In your situation I'd wait for the Oct/Nov release to make the switch.

My Nexus S has been a 99.99% solid companion since it's release in 2010.

I've had power button issues randomly for the past week but the JRO03L update seems to have fixed it.

I've enjoyed carrier and handset stability that's noticeable compared to my friends.

I've watched my Verizon buddies complain about "normal" use killing charge ad nauseum.

I've listened to my Sprint buddies complain about absent ROM support for phones that drove them nuts.

My ATT buddies, well the service still seems to have the same call quality issues I had years ago.

Hopefully my next upgrade will serve me as long and as well until the next jump in carrier bandwidth becomes a must-have.

[Nexus S General] mossy1963:
No it's not worth getting now. It's a 2 year old phone and as good as it has been it's showing its age. It's struggling with the latest roms, very laggy and slow and battery performance isn't good. I'm rooted, running a nightly cache cleaner and occasional wipes and its still slow. Contract is up this week and its a toss up between the sgs3 and hox. Favoring the sgs3 on performance but the hox it's 5 quid cheaper every month. Not considering the nexus as I frankly find the nexus line boring.

So if you can get Nexus S cheap.. get it! hehe

I would get a newer phone. The nexus s is outdated man; and plus google is going to release a new phone soon. We're going to be waay behind and things are just gonna get slower for us I think. No matter how many roms we flash to see if we can speed stuff up; its gonna get slower and slower. That's just how technology is; it gets faster and faster and if the older stuff cant keep up, it dies out:eek:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Check within the Messaging app (or 3rd party messaging app, if you are using one) that the MMS size is set low enough. On ViperXL, mine had to be set to 300 kb in order to send a picture. I think AT&T's network limit is 600 kB. Custom ROMs sometimes have the limit set much higher, and a pic simply won't go if its set over AT&T's limit.

But this would only explain why pics can't be sent. They should still be received ok.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shawnten:
This is my second samsung phone and the set up is so much different. In my epic touch 4G it was like the kernel and the recovery were always together but on the s3 it is separate like my HTC was. Why was the epic so much different. I thought it was just a samsung thing. This s3 is way easier to go back and forth between roms. The touch 4G was a pain having to Odin back to older version of kernel/recoveries to go to ics ad now the s3 the recovery stays and does not change with kernel? Any insight at all would be appreciated
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Different phones, different processes that's about all there is to answer your recovery question. I'm coming from a Droid Incredible so I have no idea what you're talking about btw. If you flash a rom on the GSIII, there is a kernel that flashes along with it because it's included in the rom zip. The alternative is if you want to flash a kernel that you would like to try at a later date, boot into Recovery and flash that kernel file from its respective thread.
