[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] aimfire72:
Same here, used a sim adapter and just popped it in from my iphone 5. Works fine, no need to "activate" anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] con_ritmo:
you got tricked. happens all the time. Now you need to complain like all hell and sit on the phone for hours on end. no matter what you do...

do not hang up and do not settle for anything but what you want. they will feed you all sorts of lies...but that is what they are...lies. dont give in and you can get your unlimited data back.

long story short I paid an extra 100 for this phone just so I would hopefully never have to speak to a csr again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MattMJB0188:
Two months ago they pulled this **** with me and revoked my plan. It took a while but I spoke to this guy way high up at att who gave it back to me. Let me try and find his number for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jgrnght:
ATT has fudged my plan up also. To start they sent my phone with the wrong sim card and my sim card went to someone else. Then after changing sim cards they can not get data to work on my sim card. After 3 hours on the phone they said they can't figure out what is wrong and put in a 24 hour ticket. How hard is it to enter two numbers into a database, the IMEI and SIM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ishmael2:
Thanks for this number, I had to call that now and get a case created. I had to call in today to get my phone activated, then noticed I had no data. I called back to get the data fixed and I was informed that I lost my unlimited plan earlier today (when the phone was activated). I was put on a 3gb plan for now and called the office of the president number.

Time to wait until monday/tuesday :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MattMJB0188:
I just sent the OP the private number of a guy who works at AT&T corporate who got my unlimited plan back for me. He is very nice and has the power to re-add it no matter what. Just call him and leave him a message ASAP!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jgrnght:
Can I have that number too? lol

It sounds like I have the same problem as Ishmael... the probably removed my unlimited when I activated the sim card... heads are gonna roll!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ioft:
When I activated mine the same thing happened. Called into Premier and they tried to tell me I had to use the new data plan due to the GF one being incompatible; told them that I know of several people with other LTE compatible phones that have their grandfathered features still; and we kept chatting and eventually she "found" the right codes to use. Won't actually know until the next bill comes in... but it was a pain in the ass.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lordpelvis:
They did this to me too. The guy at the ATT store said the 3gb plan will only be on there for about 4 hours then it will get changed over.

Not sure why this phone has an issue with this...

---------- Post added at 08:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 PM ----------

As a side note, I've had the note 2 since about 5 local time, and I logged into my att and it shows unlimited for me.

I got mine at a corporate store..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MattMJB0188:
This is so weird you guys mentioning this. I have switched my grandfathered plan so many times. From iPhone 4S to iPhone 5 to Android back to iPhone 5 lol.

There is NO reason you can't keep it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ishmael2:
I'm calling back in to customer care right now since this will bug me all weekend if I have to wait.

Edit - I just got off the phone and I should have it back now. *crosses fingers*
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ivran:
Hey guys, the same thing happened to me, although I didn't realize my data plan had been dropped until it was too late. Did that first number posted in this thread work for you guys?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lordpelvis:
That's what the guy at ATT said.

Must be something to do with this particular device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MattMJB0188:
You guys just have to know who to talk to. If the plan was dropped and you call them they can probably get it back right away. The longe you wait, the lower your chances are of getting it back.

I know its not truly unlimited but 5GB for $30 is not bad. Not to mention, there are work arounds, once your throttled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jgrnght:
i didnt lose unlimited, i just have no data at all... my plan on the website still shows unlimited.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ishmael2:
I got mine back by calling normal customer care (option 4, then option 1 at the menu). I'm leaving my pending Office of the President ticket open for at least a day until my plan switches on the website (still says 3gb plan).

I called back in after the call where I got it switched since it still said 3gb on the website and the rep confirmed it's still on unlimited.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] quarlow:
I received a One X through warranty because of doa GS II replacements. It came with a LTE micro SIM. When that was activated it added the 3 GB plan over my unlimited. I called back. All they had to do was check a previous bill and see I used to have it. They opened a case and told me it would take a week to fix. About two hours later I got a text it was solved. For the first month it didn't say unlimited LTE, it said something like 100 GB limit. But it only took me one call and I didn't have to escalate. That was with premier custom service line, FWIW.

My Note II shipped today. This One X has a line of dead pixels and intermittent Wi-Fi issues. They let me early upgrade, instead of getting another refurb. Can't wait to be able to multi-task again, and use my MicroSD card, never mind the S-Pen and a battery that lasts all day.

Sent from my HOCKS
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ysoliman:
If you have no data you might need a new SIM card. Just go to AT&T and ask them for an LTE SIM. I had to do this when I got my GS2 with LTE. That's probably your issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jgrnght:
I am on my second sim card of the day, and they still couldnt figure it out. They gave me a 24 hour ticket. I sure if anyone in the forum worked their it would be solved but of course ATT has to break the departments up so no one person is capable of completing a task.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] th3g1z:
definitely weird, my suggestion is don't order over the phone or online, just go to a local COR (company owned retail) store and they have no problem grandfathering unlimited plans.. I can't say the same for online/phone sales.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AjV510:
That doesnt seem right. Im grandfathered into the unlimited data. And the rep made sure she switch it over to the new 4g. I think your rep was lazy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] F123D:
I spoke to a handful of reps while I was upgrading and every single one of them stressed to me how important it was to keep my unlimited data plan and to never go off of it.

Once you get your plan back, ask for some type of credit towards your account for the inconvenience.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gary02468:
Good idea. Is there an activation fee for a no-commitment phone purchase while still on contract? If so, I could ask for it to be waived.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dahazman:
I never got an activation code in email so I had to call premier supprt. CSR was very professional and even credited my account $25 for the inconvenience without me asking or complaining.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
I'm all ears on the workarounds. Suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gary02468:
Good news--I called the regular customer support number (800-331-0500) and the rep immediately agreed to reinstate my unlimited plan, and did so. Their website now lists my data plan as "LTE Smartphone Unlimited Personal Add-on: Data Unlimited on 4G for LTE Smartphone Enterprise", for the same price as previously ($30/month).

The rep said there was already no activation/upgrade fee since this is a no-commitment purchase, so I didn't request a credit.

(Edited to add: thanks for all the helpful replies and PM!)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MattMJB0188:
That's great news!!! I'd still ask for a credit. Retentions agreed to credit my account $20 for three months for all the inconvenience they caused me when they took me off the plan.

Anyone with the unlimited plan should have several unlimited options listed on their online account. Only a rep can change it though. Don't let them ever tell you that you cannot keep the plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gary02468:
Right after they reinstated my unlimited plan (as reflected on their website), I noticed that my phone had no data connection at all. But I rebooted it and then its 4G LTE was back to normal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jprowland:
As others mentioned (finally), when you're grandfathered you don't actually keep the same unlimited plan since it's probably an older incompatible one. They're supposed to offer an upgrade to the 4G LTE unlimited plan (as they did in my case on the web site pre-order) at the same cost as the old plan.

I almost screwed it up myself and selected the 3GB plan (I didn't realize the grandfathering would apply to phone upgrades) but it warned me that I'd be downgrading the plan, which is when I saw it in the options (it had already been pre-selected). Picked it, all set, no problems for 2 days now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] knowran:
Stupid AT&T screwed me over! I did an upgrade swap where the representative on the phone claimed that I am retaining my unlimited data plan. Long and behold I checked my account and he switched it to a 3GB data plan. I contacted AT&T and spoke to a manager that made a claim to get my data plan back. Is there someone i can contact to get the data plan I had 20 minutes ago?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] phzi:
Just be patient. If you the rep told you that you would stay on unlimited, that constitutes a contact. Since you have spoken to a manger, they should resolve the issue within 1 or 2 business days. If not, demand to speak to the Office of the President.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] knowran:
Good call. So I called a second time and spoke to a representative who was extremely understanding and helpful (not to mention had a cute voice). She was knowledgable about the situation and modified my claim, which was resolved last night. She also reduced my bill by $30 for this month for the trouble.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rockinandroid:
I did a cross upgrade and kept my unlimited data plan.....someone is trying to slew you....definitely call and ask for supervisor....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] antiochasylum:
Activating the phone!? I just put my sim in and rolled. Wtf is this activating phone crap

BTW, there is not an unlimited plan anymore. PERIOD. If you have an HSPA phone you get 3gigs or data, if you have an LTE device you get 5gigs.

I have the unlimited plan and got a message when I hit 4900mb used, and got limited at 5gigs.

So no matter what, if you go over 5gigs data used, you WILL GET LIMITED. Google it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jug6ernaut:
You cant activate "phones" unless its cdma. On GSM your activating your SIM Card. Aka registering it with your carriers network so they know what to do with you lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Sledgehammer70:
Actually that is false. I am at 12GB used this month as I still have my grandfathered in iPhone unlimited plan. AT&T calls me all the time and tries to offer me new plans at better rates but with less data etc... But my bill remains at $30 a month for as much data as I want, no cap, no issues here in SoCal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Killroys:
Can I get that number too plz
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gary02468:
What plan does the AT&T website say you have? Mine is called "LTE Smartphone Unlimited Personal Add-On: Data Unlimited on 4G for LTE Smartphone Enterprise". Are you claiming that's the same as their 5GB LTE Smartphone plans?

The usage page tells me how many Talk minutes I have remaining for the current billing cycle, but for remaining Data it just says "Unlimited". Is that what yours shows as well?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] quarlow:
It depends on how you interpret "Unlimited." If you think about it in terms of the amount of data you can use, they are unlimited. If you think about it in terms of data connection speed, there is a point where the speed is limited (5GB). But, they do not cut data off, nor are you charged overage. So, while the speed is not unlimited, the amount of data is.

Sent from my Note II
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gary02468:
Can anyone who's gone over 5GB on LTE report what their mobile data speed was before and after that point? Would be good to know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] torrmar74:
If you are on the unlimited plan, your service is throttled down to 3g speeds, after you reach 5gb of data that billing cycle. Once the new billing cycle starts your speeds are throttled back up to lte speeds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gary02468:
So that's around 2 Mb/sec?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aranen_Zen:
I just want to clear something up I learned from At&t. The data plans available to a line are dependant on both the imei entered and what is currently present on the account. If a new imei is entered a plan compatible with that must be chosen at the same time. If you have a grandfathered plan a new compatible plan must be chosen at the time of the imei swap. At&t came do this but often third party retailers like Walmart or best buy don't have that capability. They do have the best prices though. If a wrong plan is chosen and activated then normal CSR and managers can't fix it in real time. So be careful where you upgrade. They also said if you don't notice the change with in 59 days the process to get grandfathered plans back becomes much much harder...nearly impossible. Be very careful when you upgrade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Gary02468:
It's not just third parties that can get it wrong. I got my Note 2 online directly from AT&T, but they still initially downgraded me to a limited LTE plan. Still, a normal AT&T CSR was able to switch me to an unlimited LTE plan in real time when I called the next day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] alexnoalex:
So I've been using MediaNet plan for $20 for last 8 years or so. Unlimitted data and 200 messages. And it does regular 3G just fine.

I was getting me a Note and was told that I must change the plan. I walked away. Then I got new sim card, put it in mi wife's lte phone and went on chat to activate it for my number. Rep was claiming that I will be charged per use but I persisted, so sim got activated. Data would not work out the box because this plan doesn't work with lte apn, so I added wap.cingular apn and 3g works fine. Bough Note after that and did the same thing. All works but now I have to decide whether to live with 3G or abandon my plan and move to capped LTE which will cost me more.

And, in the store I told them not to update imei and they didn't.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] John.Vaux:
Hello all,

As you can no doubt tell I'm new here so please be gentle. If there is a better location for this post please let me know. So my situation is that I am one of a few building on a system for work (a non-profit children's hospital). What we're attempting to do is replicate some of the functionality of commercial and often expensive in room entertainment systems using more inexpensive open source gear. As it stands we've purchased a few small Android TV type boxes and have had good success getting them to do all of the things we want (play games, movies, and television mainly).

My primary responsibility is surrounding what the ongoing maintenance and support of a system of these boxes installed in every patient room might look like. The current thought is to not put too much time into trying lock down the devices but instead build a system for wiping and re-initializing the boxes on patient discharge. I know I can configure the ADB connection daemon on the device to listen to the network instead of the USB port. There isn't any security around the connection but these devices will live on a separate dedicated network anyways. So assuming I know the device name and IP I should be able to issue ADB commands to it through a script which can be triggered on the patient discharge event in our systems. This would allow me to effectively issue a factory reset to the device which should get rid of any changes or content made by the last patient.

What I'm not so sure of is how I can get the device back to the exact state we want it to start out in for the next patient. I suspect that there is a way I can package a custom ROM with the settings/applications I would like configured and have that loaded onto the device as the factory image but I have no idea how to go about that and I haven't had much success searching for the solution. Most of the custom ROM building advice is lower level than I'm looking for and gets into actually compiling and building a true custom OS and to be frank that's probably a little bit past my skillset. I'm really only looking to get the stock OS (or a community ROM), a few applications and ideally even some system settings (name, network config, etc) baked in as a base image.

Any advice/suggestions would be greatly welcomed. Thank you.

The best ROM varies - some people say this ROM, some say that ROM. Opinions are like ar$eh0les, everybody has one.

The best bet is to just try them out yourself, but you need to remember that modern games are being optimised for quad-core phones, so the DS is always likely to struggle with them.

Generous!

I'm going to sell my perfect and pristine (screen etc) white Gnex for about 250 Euro, I think. However, going to wait a little longer for some 'good news' we are all hoping for. I wonder, have there been rev.2 Gnexi, hardware wise?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercakefish:
Haven't yet as I need a phone while I wait for the Nexus! How could I possibly sell mine before getting a new phone and be left phoneless? No sir, would never happen voluntarily!

Anyhoo, after a couple of days to make sure there are no major problems with the Nexus, I intend to trade in my Galaxy S2 for £147 in my local CEX shop. I know I could get more for it on Amazon but there's no guarantee of a sale and it's far more convenient to just walk into the shop than faffing around with the postage and packaging etc.

So that effectively halves the price of the 16GB Nexus 4 which I intend to buy.

Roll on Nexus 4 release!!! :victory:
