Good because I would at least like a look at the Note II before deciding to give up MediaNet. I read somewhere else in the forum where someone went over 3GB on MediNet and got a nasty gram.

Then again right now we share 700 minutes, never come close to using them, have pay per messaging, and $15 each for UL data. Bill is $100 a month.... Plus $10 junk fees and around $15 in pay per use messaging for both phones.

Total between $120-$130 a month. Under the new plans we could get unlimited everything with 1GB data... (The wife uses about <200MB a month..I use about 300-500

for $140 total About $10 more. Plus get two new phones if or when we need them and sell our international devices.

So its not all that bad if I get tagged again. I need to start using data though. I am going through a lot of hassle to save an UL data plan for data we don't use.......

Any reason not to move to straight talk if ATT is giving you a hassle?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tbong777:
LOTS.....LOL I did some research and did not like what i found....

The T & Cs state you cannot stream video or media. they will tag you for over usage of data. 150MB in a day may get you a nasty gram.

On the other hand

http://gigaom.com/mobile/straight-talk-it-could-let-you-dump-att-or-t-mobile/

the thing is I don;t want any carrier to claim UL data then have the right to terminate your account at will if you go over 2GB.

I would rather be charged an extra $20 and back date a plan if needed. Straight talk will drop the servicee and the possiblity of losing one's number is relavant.

I would rather have a limited data plan where the carrier will work with me if I go over.....

That said I have not been tagged. All is well but I am ready to go to a 1 GB shared data plan and the normal APN if tagged again. At least we will get UL calling and messaging for the extra $20.

I feel for you guys in the USA. I'm in the Uk &

Get totally unlimited data. Some months ive used 12 gigs, with no throttling etc. I also get 300 mind and I think 3000 texts, but don't use, for £15. That's about $21 +/- a month :D

I feel for the states customers too in HK i pay 29 usd and I have unlimited data no throttling 2000 minutes unlimited txts and 2 hours of video calls on my plan. I really do hate the mobile company's in the states i have to use them i do go back and forth a bit. Tmobile and att just jip you hard. Plus the phones are pretty much a piece of sh!t especially when you go through Verizon. The USA models are usually crap compared to the international ones also.

Really feel for you all too.

Quick update. I had to tether my note to my work laptop last Friday and a few hours later I got the same text saying they changed my data plan.

This matches the same scenario that prompted me to get the att text notificaiton back in October (After a tethering session). They must be doing packet shape analysis and realize that you are tethering which is prompting the system detection. I'm back on medianet again on my galaxy note now.

So if you tether on medianet you might get the system sweep. As long as I don't tether I'm good.

Any similar experiences guys?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
You got flagged for using tethering not your phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tbong777:
I actually used the phone to teather to my Notebook in LA back in august for a few days (Hampton Inn Wireless was terrible). Didn't get flagged until a month later. but have been fine since I posted this thread. I wish it was teathering that busted me. I don't use it normally.

So far so good. Am still holding out until I decide whether to go for the International or ATT Note II. No LTE here for another year or more.

With JB on the Note now I am in no hurry to upgrade.

On the bright side ATT is still showing the Nokia 6126 solidly as my phone on the site.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] The_Newtype:
So, the Note 2 isn't being flagged?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tbong777:
Until I posted this thread I NEVER was flagged for any of our International Devices ever....... I don;t think the International Note II will be any different.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tbong777:
Got flagged again Thursday. I use less than 700MB of data, do not teather, and still got flagged. I gave up and switched to 1GB shared between Wife SGS I9100 (never was flagged) We had pay per use messaging and UL data we didn't use. No we have UL message and calls a share 1GB data for $115 and I now have a "smart phone" I am tired of playing the game and i am not going to straight Talk anytime soon. May as well buy the ATT Note II subsidized. Going to miss my FM Radio, But I am WiFi 90% of the time and can use TuneIn.

So good luck all. Three times is a charm.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] inurb:
Sorry to hear that tbong. Is it that much of a hassle to call cust support and get flipped back to medianet? My two calls only lasted about 10 minutes each.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tbong777:
Not a hassle but I have to think at some point they will see all the changes in a couple months and get wise LOL

I just called them and I got a great CSR . They switched it back from shared 1Gb to my old plan to my surprise. I tried to get the $100 discount on the ATT Note 2 but they were not budging so I am buying a little more time to see if i can get an N 7100 on a price drop before they flag me again.

Do you take your SIM out when you call them and put it in a Dumb phone or just claim its a dumb phone and they are making an error?

I have to decide whether paying $400 for an N7100 is worth it after selling my 7000 for around $200-$300. I always tell them I put my SIM in a friend's smart phone for a day to see if I liked it when I got the ATT message. and put it in my Nokia 6126 when I call them. they can see its an ATT Nokia.

Net cost would be around $300 more than upgrading which would be a wash but I would still have UL data. If they flagged the N7100 That would really suck...Would sell it and get the ATT on subsidy I guess. Fun and Games with ATT
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hp79:
I've been using $15 medianet unlimited (at the time I jumped on board, the $10 plan was no longer available) just fine for the last couple months. I used to use about 50 MB/month before, when I had the 200MB for $15 plan, and after switching, I've been using about 50-500 MB/month. I also tethered using the built in tether app just fine. I haven't tethered for the last couple days, and today I got the SMS and email saying they will add the plan for me. **** you AT&T. As soon as I got home, I switched the SIM over to a dumb phone, and had to call customer service to manually enter my IMEI number from the dumb phone. I was just wondering if this might be a random sweep, and my phone was detected as a smartphone, or if AT&T got my Galaxy Note's IMEI as a smartphone now. No way I'm going to overpay for their 3GB ripoff data plan service.

Here's the email I got from them.

If anyone can help me how to spoof my IMEI, that would be great too. Please PM me. I want to copy my dumb phone's IMEI, and I don't see anything wrong with that. I don't care it's illegal or not. I would love to get my hands on a portable cell phone signal jammer too for times when I take public transport and hear someone talking about what they ate and what their poop color was for a whole hour.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
They would figure out your on a smart phone regardless of imei by means of packet analysis.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] inurb:
I get the text and email on my Note every 27th of the month. I figured away to beat their auto sweep. I just put my SIM into a Samsung Rugby or whatever other cheap dumb phone I have laying around on the 26th of the month. Then on the 27th I receive no messages from at&t. Then on the 28th I put my SIM back into my Note.

---------- Post added at 06:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 AM ----------

I thought this too, but they seem to be doing a monthly sweep at the same time. For me it's the 27th of each month. So I don't think they are doing anything fancy. They just look at the IMEI and it seems that they have the International Galaxy Note's IMEI on their smartphone list. Not a big as they only sweep at a certain date each month so it's easy to counter. I am not going to let go of my unlimited $10 dollar data! I will not go quietly into the night :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] four20s:
I got flagged this morning by ATT. Ive been using my N7000 with medianet on their network for 8 months now without an issue until today. When I called them they told me that I was using a GT-N7000, which caught me way off guard. How would they have known what device I was using? I thought that they didnt have the international device imei in their database. Anyways, I guess this is a heads up to all N7000 owners on ATT with non smartphone data.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
Sounds like they doing have it when it suits them... There is a guide for imei spoof I'll locate it and post back later

Like....will it ask ne to unlock the phone by purchasing any code??? Im kinda new to dis forum... Pleaz reply..!! :) :) :)
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
I don't think so. SIM unlocking seems to be somehow "deeper" than just the ROM, or even recovery. Personally, I purchased a used phone with stock ROM which came already unlocked. I have since flashed custom recovery and ROM many times. I even used LG's updater software to upgrade to newest stock ROM with newer baseband, and I did not lose my SIM unlock.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ragflan:
Wait a while longer. The trusted seller for Samsung OEM batteries and accessories is a seller named shimshop on eBay. He's a seller from South Korea. I bought all my OEM batteries for Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy SII from him. I'm sure he'll have stuff in the next week or two for the Note II. He already has car docks and mounts for Note II. He ships items within a day from when you pay and stuff always got delivered in about 7 days for me. I live in Australia.

Shimshop Store: http://stores.ebay.com/shimshop
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] drexappeal:
For those that have had the SGS II, SGS III, or the Note...has Samsung made a battery charger/dock type device before? That's something that I'd be interested in and am hoping that the past 2 generations of Galaxy devices would lend people some insight into that type of accessory being available for the Note 2.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] tstack77:
I can only assume that this guy is too good to be true, but the, "condition" is the exact same as shimshop:

Condition: New: A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item in its original packaging (where packaging is applicable). Packaging should be the same as what is found in a retail store, unless the item is handmade or was packaged by the manufacturer in non-retail packaging, such as an unprinted box or plastic bag.

Two batteries plus a charger for a little bit over $10?

HOX internal speakers became very low, even when back to stock, latest OTA & Volume+

Folks,

a while ago my HOX speakers became very low with everything at the maximum even with Volume+, I barely hear the ringtones, notifications, wakeup alarm.

i thought that was due to my stock rom which was ARHD, but after factory reset, super wipe, erase cash and delvik, installing back the stock and update OTA the sound remains low, very low actually

any mod or fix for this would be really helpful guys :)

[HTC One X] Freakaz:
Tried factory reset? i've read in some forums, that some people experiencing probs with sound and factory reset helps. I had some sound probs on my HOX, but it was caused by bent contact pin of the speaker itself. the sound were disapearing completely randomly, or was becoming very low. Maybe you've got some humidity in the speaker?

good news, i've tried another tool for the very tiny speaker holes, a single thin brush hair line, and it worked perfectly, finally i've got my HOX sound back :D

For me adrenaline engine works and on stock karnel :)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] zivgt2:
Hmmm... I am having trouble doing it..

First I use superoneclick, but it stuck at the process and cannot root, I am using stock 2.3.6.

Then I try "DelanoKernel for Stock base 27062012", it cannot not let me flash, it said "cannot open (bad)" something like that, I tried older release but the problem remain.

Then I flash universal_gb_root_v25, but it is not compatible with PX-Kernel because they use different SU binary, so I cannot not use apps that require root access.

So now I just flash universal_gb_root_v25 + Adrenaline_Engine_4.3, but I don't know if it is fully working, also I lost overclock and smartassV2.

[Edit]: I uninstalled Adrenaline Engine and flash V6 supercharger, which can work without init.d support, and it's smoother now~ :)

So my whole procedure is flash cwm, then root, then V6, then use root uninstaller. Its easy and good for long term use. :p

I flashed latest CM10 ROM and later wanted to revert back the stock with nandroid backup restore. Restore went fine but gettin stuck on HTC boot screen. After I restore it several times finnaly I have done factory reset, clear cache and dalvik cache but wont boot. After all of that the last time I started Fix permissions( I dont know why I done that) but now I got black screen, phone wont boot and I cant power it on. I connected it on my PC over USB cable and tried to power on but all I got is notification LED (red) is blinking slowly. My battery was 24% when I started to play with restore. Is the battery discharged maybe?

Please help! Just want to get in Fastboot menu and then I know my further steps.

EDIT: I managed tu get into fastboot, the battery was drained and now will lock my bootloader and revert back the stock firmware withh RUU flash.

EDIT 2: It wont go to recovery from fastboot and the battery isnt charged enough to flash RUU
[HTC One X] treebill:
When you restored from the back up did you flash the boot.IMG from that back up ? Recovery can't flash boot.IMG as we are s.on.

[HTC One X] bpodnar:
no i didnt flash boot.img. Should I try that over command prompt?
[HTC One X] Vcek:
ALWAYS flash the boot.img included in the rom/backup from fastboot otherwise phone wont boot.

If you can't do that because of low battery you might have to look for fastboot charging scripts by searching the One X forum.(it charges at a very low rate and upto a limit, 10-35% not sure)

Edit: Use the script to charge your phone enough to flash a good boot.img and a custom recovery then charge from the recovery(i think red light doesnt work while charging in custom recovery)
[HTC One X] bpodnar:
Thanx a million! I found that script and charged my battery to 10%, unlocked my bootloader and then flashed again the latest ROM I had on my device. All is fine now, charging on the wall at this moment. If I want tu restore my old backup of stock ROM should I extract his boot.img and flash it in first place and then do a restore of nandroid backup or the opposite?
[General Questions and Answers] arcus_doom:
I recently dropped my Sola in water for less than 2 seconds. After being dropped in water it didn't turn off. How can I be sure that my phone isn't water damaged and where can I see the water damage indicator? Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
There is usually a white sticker which turns purple on contact with water. This is mostly put in place for warranty reasons. It's usually in the battery compartment, or underneath the battery. Sometimes, it's inside the phone, and sometimes there is no such sticker.

The only way to really be sure your phone has no water damage is to take it apart. If there was substantial exposure to water, that's what you'd have to do anyway to get rid of the water, as it could take weeks to evaporate from inside the device.

EDIT: The sticker may turn red, or another color. Also, the sticker may have a pattern on it, which would smudge upon exposure to water. And sometimes, the sticker may be on the battery.
