[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Deep_Chasm:
LTE or regular tethering?

What part of tethering exactly isn't working for you? I've got an interesting case that I'm trying to resolve. Tethering works fine for me on 3G & HSPA , but as soon as I get an LTE signal my tethered devices lose connectivity, though the phone itself is still good. I tried one of the earliest nightlies and I just tried the stable release, same story. I've flashed every radio I can find recommended for the skyrocket and CM10. Sadly I have to use tethering daily for work so I've had to roll back to CM9.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] aycockonxion:
Tethering is working fine on CM10 nightlies and stable with regular or 4.2 gapps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Deep_Chasm:
Hey Thanks for the reply aycockonxion. So you've used it successfully when connected to LTE? I wonder what could possibly be wrong with my device then, wow...

I've tried radios but I really don't think that's the case since LTE works great, and even while a device is not functioning while connected to the hotspot, the phone itself still maintains a good fast internet connection. It sounds like it's a software problem all the way in my limited understanding of things. The funny thing is too that the devices connected to the hotspot will think they do have internet. As in, the browser will sit there trying to load a page until it times out. The moment I shut down tethering, the browser immediately recognizes the connection is lost and won't even try to load the site. Also bear in mind the moment I reinstall CM9 it all works perfectly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tmimaesk:
sorry for the late reply,

I have the same problem as you..

My other devices will show the wifi connection sign but internet doesn't work..

I tried the superlite jb stated above and the hotspot worked without the gapp

so I installed gapp and didnt work afterwards.. I guess something must be in the way
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Deep_Chasm:
Hey tmimaesk, yeah that's exactly what I've got. I've not tried superlite without gapps as you have, I expect the phone isn't practically functional without gapps installed, so I won't bother trying. I'm glad I'm not alone with this problem (sorry), but misery does love company! :) thankfully CM9 works great so it's not the end of the world, just a pain to not have the latest and greatest!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tmimaesk:
Yea for me I switched to paranoidandroid cm9 version and I love it!

Prob going to switch to cm10 when hotspot is working
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Wallcrawler77:
Hotspot works just fine in every CM10 ROM I've ever tried (3 or 4 of them so far.) Most recently I've been using car vs. driver's CvD-Nibbles and it works like a champ. I was running wifi tether all day long for almost two weeks thanks to Hurricane Sandy taking out my cable connection.

Tether aside, Nibbles is a brilliant ROM and I recommend it to anyone looking to try something new.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] greekunit690:
Worked fine on slimbean 3.0 and r4ins aokp November 4/8/16 builds
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Deep_Chasm:
Thanks for your replies. The one question I have for both of you is this: Was your phone on the LTE network while you were successful with using the hotspot, or was it HSPA?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cschmitt:
CM-10.0.0, AT&T, Wi-Fi hotspot works on LTE and HSPA, open and WPA2-PSK.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tmimaesk:
Hmm I heard that LTE hotspot works if there's no encryption for the SSId

but mine never worked with encryption since I use my hotspot in public places

I dont know if theres anything different from AT&T and Rogers..

I use Rogers and may be Ill try the above roms tonight
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Wallcrawler77:
Same here with me, I'm on LTE perpetually here in NYC.

No true, amigo. I run all the time with encryption (as everyone always should at all times. ;) )
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Deep_Chasm:
Thanks for all your replies. So, whatever this problem i have is, I'm not the only one, but I am in the minority. I wonder if it's a Rogers thing here in Canada. I hope it attracts the attention of those who are actually able to do something about it. :)

Any suggestions on where else I ought to be posting about this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Wallcrawler77:
I'm guessing the dev thread for your ROM hasn't brought up anything useful?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Deep_Chasm:
I've used the search feature to search the dev thread a few times. It may have may have been user error, but I've come up completely empty handed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] rhaneyjr:
I'm using liquid smooth jb 2.0 the Wi-Fi hotspots work fine for me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tmimaesk:
So I tried all different roms for few days and found out that *TheCollective AoCP - CP4.6 {4.1.2} i727 hotspot works!

I think it's the only jb rom that actually works in Rogers Skyrocket :) !

I use cm10 and WiFi hotspot works. Also Embryo works fine. ATT though

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaviLoki:
:L

Bit late, mate. Just wait like 3 days.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kojaes:
3 days ? google said " in the coming weeks"
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jordanooo:
Haa, where've you been for the past couple of days? :what:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
If I remember correctly, it sold out in about 10 minutes, then over the rest of the day (as people were cancelling accidental extra purchases) people could still buy it if they got lucky. As of the 14th, there's pretty much no chance now :p
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfspider:
You might want to buy a new keyboard. It appears your question mark key is malfunctioning. :p :silly:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LaviLoki:
2 or 4 Days

People have called Google Play to discuss the restocking, and many said between 2 and 4 days.
[Nexus 4 General] bakron1:
First of all I want to apologize to the folks on the XDA site for being so upset over the Google play store issue on launch day, but I am a person who has never been afraid to admit when I have been out of line. Now that I have got that out of the way, I went to my T-Mobile store today and was the first one in line and YES, I now have in my possession a Nexus 4 16 gig model connected to the T-Mobile US network.

It was a $199.00 plus tax with the upgrade which I was going to do anyways because to me T-Mobile is the best bang for buck for unlimited data and voice. I wanted to share my first day experience of using Nexus 4:

My first impression was how nice it felt in my hand compared to my GNEX and the build quality is excellent. The front and rear glass panels are a little slippery, but the rubber edge helps to keep a nice grip on the phone.

Once I installed my Sim card and connected to the network and set the phone up to my Google account using the typical Google OS setup screens, I received a system update from Google which took in few minutes, but was smooth and painless.

The screen is fantastic and I noticed how much more responsive the keyboard was compared to my GNEX. The screen is very responsive when selecting apps and I noticed no lag when swiping between screens, not bad for a stock ROM right out of the box. The colors are crisp and the blacks are much more rich then the previous Nexus models.

The 3G and HSPA+ network speeds are plenty fast for me and the lack of 4G is not an issue for me and I think will suit the majority of users like me who use the device for what it was intended for, a phone and PDA.

The WIFI connected right up with my home and business clients networks without any issues, I haven't tried the Bluetooth or NFC functions because I rarely use them for my everyday needs.

The new 4.2 Jellybean OS is fast and has just enough extra tweaks to make this a worthwhile upgrade, I would still wish they would include a battery percentage function in the display options, but I would think that will be on it's way in a future custom ROM down the road.

I know it's not like the technical reviews like some of the ones out there, but for me the half hour I waited in line with the other 4 loyal nexus users this morning to get the 4 phones they had in stock was well worth the wait. I sold my beloved GNEX to a developer friend of mine this morning for 200 dollars so my new phone cost me nothing for out of pocket expense. It doesn't get any better then that.
[Nexus 4 General] eep2378:
Regarding battery percentage. It's in the notification pull down quick settings I thought.

[Nexus 4 General] irishrally:
Richer blacks than samoled?
[Nexus 4 General] dhurk:
No way :D
[Nexus 4 General] Zorachus:
Cool little review, thanks.

What kind of plans does T-Mobile offer for two ? Do they have a good shared plan like ATT for like $150, unlimited minutes and texts, and shared 4GB.

I am ditching Verizon to the curb ASAP, my bill has been $270 !!! a month for two lines, unlimited, and 2GB data each phone. We always around 1-1.5GB/month, never over.
[Nexus 4 General] FatalityBoyZahy:
Much brighter than AMOLED though
[Nexus 4 General] wurzelsepp3:
Yep it's not possible, but in a bright environment, you won't notice any difference in the black levels, and the screen on the Nexus 4 is 2 times brighter which could lead to the impression of richer blacks.
[Nexus 4 General] Hero_Guy:
How's your WiFi connection on the new phone compared to your Gnex? Do you get a better signal, better range, and possibly speeds than before?
[Nexus 4 General] polo045:
T-Mobile is the best as far as plans are concerned. Take a trip to a local store, you'll be happy you did. I have unlimited everything with no cap on data for sixty bucks.
[Nexus 4 General] Zorachus:
What ? That's crazy good price.
[Nexus 4 General] pik.:
hello there!:cowboy:

congrats for your new N4!:good:

1.

I would like to know if you are satisfied from the quality of the chrome display bezel.

Does it scratch?

After one day of use do you see anything?

2.can you adjust the volume with your headphones?

thanks

:victory:
[Nexus 4 General] azsl1326:
Some one in another thread who got their N4 was saying that it rattled. He attempted to exchange it, however all of the other units rattled as well. I believe he was in England. Do you notice any rattling sounds?

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] jasonwc:
They currently charge $70 for unlimited calls, texts, and 4G data. Do you have an additional discount to bring it to $60? I'm planning to go with the $30 prepaid plan (5GB of 4G data, unlimited texts, 100 min) because I barely do any calling, and it's such a steal.
[Nexus 4 General] rub1k:
They probably meant the 'Unlimited - Plus' data plan with 4G speeds only up to 2GB (slower speeds after, but still unlimited)... that one is in fact $60 for a single line (vs. the 'Unlimited Nationwide 4G' data plan that puts you at $70):

http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/Packages/ValuePackages.aspx

The $60 one is the one I'm switching to as well... I don't need that much fast data so 2GB is more than enough for me.
[Nexus 4 General] irishrally:
Some people, including myself, have the old Even More Plus plan from t-mobile. Pretty much the same as the $69.99 plan they have now but it's $59.99. They canned EM+ and replaced it with Value Plans that aren't nearly as good a deal because you have to sign a two year contract but don't get any subsidy.
[Nexus 4 General] rub1k:
(sorry to go OT)

How does being on EM+ work these days, again? It's been a while and I forgot, sorry.

Meaning, can you still get subsidies on it and you'll be grandfathered in forever? Or will they force you to switch to a Classic plan the next time you want a subsidy?
[Nexus 4 General] otariq:
Is it really twice as bright as s3? I never needed to use that on full brightness so I guess this will always be set to dimmest setting lol
[Nexus 4 General] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
Quick question, have you happened to notice the "yellow tint" on the screen as another member on the forum posted about?
[Nexus 4 General] bakron1:
I haven't noticed any rattle so far and I more then pleased with the phone. I am a person who is about value and for 349.00 it's a great phone and worth the upgrade. Just my opinion.
[Nexus 4 General] TheFiveDots:
The S3 and its AMOLED screen is nearly impossible to see in any sort of sunlight, so that's where the additional brightness will be invaluable.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheapshot789:
Anyone who is coming from a s3 and all ready have an N4 in hand what are your thoughts and was it worth it, I just ordered N4 and currently have s3.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
Hell, I went from the Galaxy SIII back to the Galaxy Nexus after just 4 weeks. I couldn't stand the physical home button and how poorly the AOSP ROMs were running on it. Even now no ROM (including CM10) is 100% rock solid on the SIII.

The N4 will be an upgrade in the software experience alone. Not to mention the better processor and build quality.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaju123:
My n4 should come tomorrow. I have a s3 (international) also and will report back.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheapshot789:
My n4 has estimate ship date for tommorow so I'll se it for myself just wondering on the lucky ones who have it now.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hello00:
cm10.1 has already made an option to disable the onscreen softkeys so that wouldnt be a problem..ill give it a month, and the n4 community will blow both s3 and onex's communities out of the water..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
Agreed. Can't wait till mine gets delivered in the next few days. :cyclops:

Luckily I'm moving over the next couple days so my mind will be occupied in the meantime.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] princebama:
Im tired of waiting for official Jelly Bean and not so impressive dev work/community for S3. Screen currently has a cracked line somehow and I never dropped it or let anyone use it o_O.. happen in my pocket somehow? IDK. When N4 comes, gonna get the S3 replaced and sell that new.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mi7chy:
This will be an interesting comparison. While I would never touch the US SIII, I would consider the international SIII. Would be nice to see a comparison of games like Dead Trigger, Modern Combat 3, Nova 3, Real Racing 2, NFS Most Wanted, etc. for compatibility, smoothness, load time, stability, etc.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFiveDots:
In Canada, with a North American S3. Also making this switch. Looking forward to it...if it ever ships! :P
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheapshot789:
Yes I'm just wondering on the comparison to the s3 since in my opinion is the top phone right now.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielsf:
I have an s3 now and even though I love the look of AMOLED screens (my htc desire, s2 and s3 all have them) the s3's is just too dim and I like red, but can't have red wallpaper as it is extremely pixelated, thank you pentile. Anyway my nexus 4 should be here tomorrow, I am planning to do a comparison video as soon as I can between the n4 and s3 for my you tube channel, I will put a link here when I am done. Is there anything you would like me to specifically look at? :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jithuelad:
If possible compare it while playing HD games.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immunityx:
I came from a note 2 and a dual core s3 and I'm very happy with my N4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bakron1:
I had the S3 and I hated the physical home button with a passion and went back to my GNEX within two days. I got my N4 today from T-mobile, sold my GNEX and I not looking back.

I am not into games or surfing the web on my phone, I mainly use it for my email, calender and daily task list and I am more then happy with my new N4. As I said in my first impression thread, I know allot of folks where skeptical about LG building the Nexus instead of Samsung, but I would think Google would not risk the Nexus line integrity and the LG version will be fine, only time will tell. Can't wait for CM10 to be ported to the phone so I can root it and have even more fun. Just my opinion for whats it's worth.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordLugard:
Sorry, but this is the SILLIEST thing i've read in a long time. FreeGS3 (my favourite) runs like boss on the S3, so does BlackBean ROM (AOKP, my 2nd favourite). CM10 stable just came out on the 13th and is running great as well.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richieboy67:
GS3 was my dream phone. I couldn't afford it unlocked though. Not sure why anyone would sell a gs3 for any other phone.

Not saying the nexus 4 isn't awesome but a gs3 is sweet for sure..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mi7chy:
More so than the Note II? Cost aside I'd probably go with Note II 1st then it's toss up between international 4-core S III and Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richieboy67:
Yeah, I love the Note...not sure I would have sold that ...these are all awesome phones. Unless your contract is done or your phone is outdated I don't know why anyone would sell a new note or gs3..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kchino:
I have the i9300, an international HOX and I just returned the Optimus G (wanted to see the difference between N4). I bought the N4 today from T-Mobile in the states. I've had it about 8 hours now and it's replacing my 9300 as my daily driver. I used to own the Galaxy Nexus too for comparisons sake.

It hasn't been long enough to give a huge amount of comparable differences but there are a few things that stand out between the N4 vs. 9300 to me.

1. The build quality! It's super solid, looks mint and feels really premium. My girlfriend is a huge fan of soft touch polycarbonate and she rubbed it all over her face when I showed it to her. I promptly snatched it back. With the exception of the HOX I'd have to say it's the best built Android device ever, and I've owned just about all the flagships. The checkered pattern on the back is very nicely done, more subtle and better looking than it's Optimus G variant.

2. It's fast! I was able to do a restore of 100+ apps when I popped my sim in and still peruse the settings, use Chrome while it was doing it's thing with barely a hiccup. The transitions when multi-tasking and such are also noticeably smoother. I was previously running the Siyah kernel on the S3 UV'd/OC'd and thought that was blazing but the N4 easily tops it in the responsive and smoothness factor. No lag anywhere so far, some of that may be attributed to more butter in 4.2. It does however get noticeably warmer on the back than my S3 ever has.

3. The screen is very nice. Way better than the GNex, the brightness of the screen definitely separates it from the S3 and the IPS further separates itself from the S3 when it comes to small text. I always set the default text size to small and it was immediately noticeable it terms of clarity. I can't really tell the difference between the HOX and the N4 screen wise.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krichek:
I've been using an international S3 since June and just got a Nexus 4 today. I love it honestly. It's built great, for some reason seems much smaller than it actually is. Love the screen, love the overall feel etc.. I'll come back and add to this post after I've had it for a bit longer.. I put my S3 on craigslist about 2 hours after I picked it up tho if that helps at all.. This is the smoothest phone I've ever owned by far and here is a short list of some of the most recent ones I'm comparing too.. International S3, Nokia 920, iPhone 4s, Galaxy Nexus...

I currently on ics stock phone but rooted so I can delete bloat. I am currently downloading jelly bean from samsungs website. http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SGH-T999 . I don't want to brick my phone or anything and I am not sure about how to go about this. What is the best way to go about this? Can I just simply open odin and load jelly bean in there and install? How should I go about this? Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Michowski:
Also when I get jelly bean on will my cwm files work or do I need to wait for a new version to come out?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Android_Monsters:
Flash the stock rooted version:

Otherwise you'll need to flash back to stock. Then update

You can't update with a custom recovery like cwm.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Michowski:
I think thats already what I got. I don't have any custom roms or anything. Just stock with root for my current setup. 4.0.4. Can I just upgrade straight to jelly bean then without wiping my data?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Android_Monsters:
In your second post you mention your cwm files. Do you have a custom recovery?

How did you root might be a better question?

Just rooted you can update, but will probably lose root

If you have clockwork (cwm) or twrp recovery the update won't flash
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Michowski:
The way I rooted was using the method zedomax posted. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1735561

How did you get Odin to do that? I have CWM installed and everytime I reboot the phone (Home, Vol Up, Power) CWM comes up but Odin doesn't recognized the phone as being connected. It will only recognize my phone when it's booted normally into Android.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
It should, though I would recommend a different way.

You can get the root66 firmware from the FW thread linked in my sig. Its just the stock fw, but prerooted.

Flash it via odin and youre done!

If you dont want to mess with the fw you can use the method you posted, but id get up to date files first.

I havent watched it in some time but I think you can get most of what you need from the fw thread, post 2. If you need help finding something else just let us know.
