coverage maps

Regarding Coverage and providers, you get to pick which Service Provider to use, as in T-Mobile or AT&T, it ultimately depends on where you live. You may not get the option for both depending on coverage and your location. I did not get the option to choose T-Mobile when I got my Straight-Talk Sim and Plan. However I am sure you could plug in a different Zip Code and get the Service of your choosing.

You can look at a Carrier's Coverage map for areas they SHOULD cover. During my Evaluation of T-mobile and AT&T, I found using the Root Metrics Coverage Map and the Sensorly Map helped out quite a bit. Many times I ended up using the apps to record coverage in areas I or my Family frequented.

Have a few months left on my AT&T contract so I am going to pop into an official brick and mortar store and ask for a micro sim. Will I run into any troubles?
[Nexus 4 General] martonikaj:
They really don't sell ST SIMs in Walmarts. Only with phones. So just buy it online...
[Nexus 4 General] Jess813:
Straight Talk doesn't offer T-Mobile micro Sims...just fyi.
[Nexus 4 General] FLNexus:
Those coverage maps are for straight talk's own phones. The non-Android map you see is Verizon's coverage which their cdma non-android phones use. The android map is for sprint which the majority of their android phones use, they actually have a few android phones that use Verizon's network now. Again, those maps are for their own branded phones, if you bring your own phone obviously those maps don't apply
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resynx:
I read somewhere online that someone said if I buy from T-Mobile instead of Google there might be more of a chance of them tracking me while I'm tethering. Is that true at all or was it just a guess? Just want to make sure cause I'm going to be getting it from T-Mobile on the 14th (or 15th if some of these rumors are true), but if it's true I will just go ahead and order it from the Play Store tonight.

Since it will probably come up as to why I'm getting the T-Mobile version instead of the Play Store version, I'll explain why. My family has been on T-Mobile for a long time now and my Dad doesn't see why as to not sign a contract since we have no intentions of leaving anytime soon. Also because it's $200 on contract and $350 off.

Edit: I did search this before hand but I came across both opinions of T-Mobile being able to track it and T-Mobile not being able to track it. A final word would be nice.

I'm on T-Mobile and I've never had a problem tethering with my galaxy nexus without a tethering add-on.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resynx:
Rooted or stock? (I've read that makes a difference?)

I haven't had a problem tethering in the past but I haven't used a T-Mobile phone in awhile. I just remember when T-Mobile thought we were tethering when we were actually using our regular phone data and it kept redirecting me to a blocked site -_-

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
Stock.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resynx:
Tethering is usually built right into Nexus'.

Alright well it seems like I'm getting the T-Mobile version if there is nothing to worry about :good:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifahmed33:
T-mobile actually charges you for tethering , to avoid the tethering charges , most people root and then tether , as the stock ROM redirects you to "add-on" tethering for extra "$15" a month

So Rooted means no tethering charges by the carrier :cowboy:

My guesses , T-mobile N4 will redirect you to the "ADD ON " page ,

Whereas PlayStore's unlocked version wouldnt :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Koragg618:
You can install the Flash Player apk CLICKY ME. After you install it, use the default browser instead of a 3rd (for example, Chrome). But you sound to be running ICS I'm guessing, and with that you can use Dolphin Browser which has an option to use Flash.

Before I start flashing ROMs I need to know which ROM is the most stable...Also since I am coming from the OG Evo 4G I want to make sure I know how to flash the ROMs on the S3...Do I need to use Odin in the PDA slot or can I flash like i did on the EVO with cleaning the rom and caches? I just want to make sure because obviously I don't want a good looking paper weight...Also I keep hearing about FreeGS3 and the insecure kernel are there any custom TouchWiz Kernels that are stable or should I start some development? I never developed on the Evo because everything I thought of was already made but its looking like we need some devs to step up on the SIII...If anyone would like to colaborate let me know but if FreeGS3 is the only true custom I will be creating and compiling a Stock Custom Kernel to allow some upgrades without switching ROMs the second we buy the phone...:cowboy:

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Djuganight:
Good and versatile phone.

You won't find a device for same price with same specs.

Worst or basically non client support from Huawei.

This you can get only from the store you bought itand here you will have all the assistance needed.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Rittik:
it wont break screen easily rite?

Rik[Rittik]
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] AceDroidX:
The screen might be a bit difficult to brake, since if I am not mistaken there is some space between the plastic and the screen. But the device is made of plastic so if you drop it frequently it might have some problems. Noone can quarantee that your phone will be OK after a drop....

Official support sucks.

Its a armv7a.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] riDDimann:
You should probably look elsewhere. This phone is now getting on a bit and will most likely never have a working jelly bean ROM. Huawei has released some new phones like the Ascend G300 and the recent G330. They are better built, the G330 is much faster and they have official ICS. Might even get jelly bean at some point.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Rittik:
yea my other option is,g300

..but no official xda support still..well ita bad for a developer like me..but why are u guys waiting for official JB update? Use CM10 or Aokp..much better according to me..

Its armv7... It is dependant on whether model it is. You don't want to have the U8800H since it has limited support.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dc959:
My honest opinion is if you can't afford the very cheap nexus 4 then there is no doubt that this is the phone you definitely want. It is really durable especially the scratch proof screen (Mine has never been scratched) but dropping any phone on a marble would do some sort of damage. Yes its arm 7 and the service center varies between country as one is located in each I think? The one in my country (New Zealand) is extremely good. Mine got hard bricked and they had it back to me within a week of me taking it into the store I bought it from and they gave me a free micro sd because the first time they sent it back the camera told me it couldn't be found. And if you are wanting to get into developing yourself then I 100% recommend this phone to you. Hope this has helped your decision.

Is this a hardware issue or a software (kernel?) issue? I first noticed this issue when I flashed CM7 on my MT4G last year, and now again on CM9 or AOKP ROMs. I never really had this issue with Gingerbread Sense ROMs, though, so I was just curious if anyone knew if this was more likely a hardware or software issue.

Yeah, I'd seen that thread from ages ago, but it didn't seem to help.

I flashed a Sense ROM the other day, and the problem seems to have disappeared. So, it could be a ROM thing or a kernel thing (as this ROM came with a 3.0 kernel instead of the 2.whatever in my previous AOSP ROM).

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] metalfan78:
You can flash any rom you want. You can now get s-off too. Go to unlimited.io and use the dirtyracun method. If you don't want to do that you will need to flash the kernel separately.

I have a 64 bit running windows 7 and not familiar with running it from a disc. So I guess I'll flash the kernel separate.

So flash the rom then flash the kernel?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] metalfan78:
I'm not exactly sure, I've never had to do it. I think you need to extract the boot.img and the flash the rom then fastboot flash the boot.img.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] oldpreowner:
In case anyone is wondering I got it to flash and boot up by flashing the ROM then right after that I flashed an s on kernel that was compatible with the ROM I flashed.

Bought my phone form Rogers. LTE was working fine.

Was going to USA and paid an online company to send me unlock code.

Used it and went using Tmobile which only has EDGE data.

Just got back swapped back in my SIM From fRogers and can only get EDGE speeds.

Tried reboots rmoving SIM card.

Also made sure settigns were correct for Rogers APNs and also that toggle was on for GPS/HSPA/LTE.

To no avail.

Briefly, I toggled on and off the apn setting from ROgers LTE to tethering LTE and low and behold it seemed to work.

But now it is back to stuck on EDGE and nothibg I am doing can help.

Can this be a byproduct of the unlock?

Is my LTE faulty?

I s there some hidden menu where perhaps a setting can be changed for a fix?

I am depserate as the alternative is to return the phone and they are on backorder everywhere now.

There is no lte on tmobile yet. Second the tmobile note 2 has dormant radios that will only activate the lte capability by software update.

I have a Canadian note 2 that had working LTE.I had it unlocked via a code emailed to me then next used it on tmobile at edge speeds.

Since returning home i cant get back onto data speeds above edge despite reboots.Simcard/battery pulls.

I ensured my network and apn were correct and that in setting under mobile the toggelchoice for auto including gsm//hspa/LTE was selected.

Are there perhaps some deeper settings via dialer code than might be able to turn back on the hspa/lte radios?

I have an odd issue with Exchange Activesync - it works fine on my iOS devices and my old Droid 3.

The issue is this, many times a day, my emails from my Exchange server would come through incomplete and unformatted. For example, only the first sentance or two will show up, and it will be completely unformatted. I think this happens only with HTML messages so far. I have the email settings on the phone set to download "all" for the message size. I can get the full message if I move it to another folder then move it back. I do not have this problem with my old iOS devices or old Droid 3. As an illustration, the message is supposed to be:

and would come through like this:

I.e., incomplete and without the line returns in the right places.

Another issue, that may be related, is that I will see multiple copies of the same email show up in the inbox from time to time. It does not appear to be consistent with when or how that shows up, but it does not happen on my iOS devices or my old Droid 3.

Hmmm, starting to see a trend here with the 55009. I haven't tracked down 25009 (nor do I know if I'd be brave enough to try it:p) but I do wonder how the GN2 would do on that PRL.

I use the CDMA field test app and look at the SID if it is 4 digits and I believe 4xxx it means you are on 1900(Band 1) and if it is 224xx it means 800(Band 10). You could also dial ##DEBUG# and type in code 777468 and choose 1x Engineering RF. Band 1 would be 1900Mhz and Band 10 would be 800Mhz.
