[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sm0k3d 0uT:
You can buy it off contract but they will not put it on a pay as you go service on the spot. Buy the phone say its a gift for someone so they will not force the contract on you. Take the phone out of the box charge it and take it to another t-mobile and tell them you want to buy a pay as you go package. This was advice given to me by a T-Mobile rep
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radeon962:
$499 at the local T-Mobile here in Michigan. Do with it what you want then. Played with it yesterday but no rush to get it at that price. My S3 is more than OK until more are available from the Play Store.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harveydent:
Yes. You can get it off contract at TMo but $150 more expensive than the Play Store. No difference for the phone with the Play Store version. You can then get a prepaid/pay-as-you-go activation kit from TMo. If you want the $30 5GB plan though, you'll have to get that one online.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briansuperduper:
Bought it off contact for 499 at my local tmo yesterday. Only catch was that they insist the phone must be activated in order to leave the store. I was able to get set up with prepaid month to month, but not able to get the $30 online deal.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harveydent:
If you really want the $30, you can still get it online. Just chuck the SIM you got from the store and replace it with the online one.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hello00:
you can do that but i dont think you will have warranty on it as if you were to buy it with a 2 year contract agreement
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stryder5:
I'm surprised anyone was willing to buy it off contract through T-Mobile since it is $150 more expensive than the play store.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briansuperduper:
Thought about doing that, but wouldn't I lose my number? Isn't it only for new customers?

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------

I surprised myself too, but my old thunderbolt had given up and I just couldn't wait any longer for a new phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harveydent:
Have you ported your old number out yet? If you haven't just port it to the $30 plan, and forget about that first prepaid SIM's number. When you activate the $30 plan, there is a step that lets you port an existing number onto the new plan.

If you ported it to that first prepaid number, it gets more complicated. It's extremely difficult to get them to port a number Tmo to Tmo. It'll involve lucking out and finding a CSR who'll do it for you, or transferring the number you want between several carriers to be able to finally port it onto the $30 plan.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razer(x):
Hello there, is there anybody from US that can buy me a no contract N4 from T-mo?

I would pay for that

Hi,

i just flash this stock rom N7100XXALIJ N7100OROALI9 then i realize there is no option for hand writing.

I mean i have that option but cant write nothing(on sms when i use pen ,normaly handwriting pad is pop up but now nope).

What can i do?

Tnx and sorry for bad English
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzontra11:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzontra11:

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djashjones:
if you press the keyboard settings button i.e. the cog thingy. There should be an option to do this
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzontra11:

If you think about"pen detected"option..already ticked.

I have the same problem as OP. My handwriting recognition option disappeared yesterday. Been trying to find out why all day!!!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idiotto:
The problem might be because your new update has no handwriting recognition of serbian language. Switch keyboard to English and see if handwriting appears.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzontra11:
Nope..still nothing.

I use Thumb keyboard. When im alone and texting i generally talk my texts which im loving. hand writting word by word takes too long for me.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronj1986:
Switch keyboard to English UK, then you should get handwriting recognition back OP.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anhwong:
chinese input is not

mine is i could have the handwriting feature in English UK, but after switch to Chinese, the TEXT handwriting icon disappear.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] el_commandante:
There are a couple of other threads about this. It seems to be a bug in the keyboard. Try this:

Switch to another keyboard.

Go to the Applications Manager, find Samsung Keyboard and delete Cache and Data.

Switch back to Samsung keyboard.

Go to the languages and add only Chinese. Only Chinese should be selected.

Now try to use the handwriting recognition. It should work now.

The problem is that the moment you add one the stock language (I assume English UK on your phone), it hijacks the handwriting recognition and it works only in English again.

Did not work for me. I have a German Note 2 and it handwriting in Swedish does not work. It didn't even work before the update. That's ridiculous since it works perfectly fine on my German Note 1...
[Galaxy Camera Accessories] 1Nav:
Hi All,

Just thought i would let you know that 64GB Micro SD and MicroSDXC cards do work.

I ordered a Sandisk Ultra 64GB Micro SDXC card from Amazon for £37 BARGAIN!

It is working in my Samsung Galaxy Camera no problems.

Hope that is helpful.

Nav.
[Galaxy Camera Accessories] apprentice:
That's a great price... providing it's a genuine capacity. Even on Amazon there are some rogue traders selling fake cards. Make sure you use a capacity checking tool.
[Galaxy Camera Accessories] aliburns:
I have the same. Only annoyance is whenever I switch the camera on it asks me if I want to use the SD card when I selected that in the settings.
[Galaxy Camera Accessories] apprentice:
This happens with my 32Gb card too. Do you think it's down to the card or is this a 'feature' of the camera? Annoying all the same.
[Galaxy Camera Accessories] aliburns:
It's less consistent now, maybe every 4th or 5th time I switch the camera on.
[Galaxy Camera Accessories] 80000037:
SGC can read the card in ExtFAT file system or does we have to format it to FAT32?
[Galaxy Camera Accessories] thedicemaster:
it only asks on a cold boot.

if fast boot is enabled it doesn't shut down completely until 24 hours after you last used the camera, or until you charge it.

fast-booting skips the boot logo and animation, and it keeps the memory card mounted while the device is off.

in a cold boot the memory card needs to be mounted, and this usually happens shortly after the starting application(usually the launcher, but it's the camera app on the sgc) is launched.

because the camera is launched before the memory card is available it defaults to internal storage, and then asks if you want to switch once it detects the insertion(mounting) of the memory card.
[Galaxy Camera Accessories] apprentice:
I understood that this was the reason for the SD Card prompt but I believe the better solution would be an option in settings to always accept the external SD card as the default storage once mounted.

It doesn't seem to be an issue in any smartphone I ever owned which essentially goes through the same mount process on a cold boot.
[Galaxy Camera Accessories] thedicemaster:
how often do you start the camera app before android even got the chance to mount the memory card though?

no other android device launches the camera app this quickly after(or rather, during) startup.
[Galaxy Camera Accessories] DC-IT:
It's Boxing Day Sale on Amazon and I just ordered the Sandisk 64GB Micro SD card for CAD$48.00 with free shipping!

Cheers
[Galaxy Camera Accessories] fyew-jit-tiv:
Same happens to me too. Gets worst when you have a Security password associated to the device. By the time you enter the 4digit code the option to select the card goes and the camera reset back to using the internal memory. annoying to say the least.
[Galaxy Camera Accessories] omnia1994:
hi, has anyone who is using a 64gb class 10 card notice any speed different of the device?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cptncrunch:
I have the desk dock for my GSM Galaxy Nexus (AT&T) that I bought through the Play Store. In 4.1, before I went to bed I would do the following:

1. Put phone in dock, screen comes on with clock in horizontal orientation.

2. Touch the alarm icon

3. Set my alarm

4. Touch the clock button to get back to the clock

5. Finally just touch the screen to dim it into low light mode

Now with 4.2, some things have changed:

1. Put phone in dock, screen comes on with clock

2. Touch the screen, home screen appears

3. Navigate to the clock app

4. Touch the alarm icon

5. Set the alarm

6. Touch the clock button

7. Finally long press the time to get back to low light clock mode

Am I doing something wrong here? It seems like the clock that shows up when I put the phone in the dock should take me to the normal clock app when I touch the screen but it goes to the home screen instead. I realize this is pretty minor in the scheme of things, but I really liked how the old way sort of reminded me to set an alarm when I put it in the dock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] najaboy:
It's because you have daydream set to start when the phone is docked. You can go to settings> Display, and turn it off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cptncrunch:
I thought about that but would that prevent anything from happening when I docked my phone? I would still like the clock app to come up when I dock. Maybe it still will if I turn off the daydream?
[Nexus 4 General] Qassim:
Hi guys,

Very strange problem, just got my Nexus 4, it prompted me to update. It was plugged in, charging, I let it restart to update and it simply never came back on. It didn't do any of the Android update process (with the Android on screen), just shut off, and never woke up again.

I've tried holding down volume + power, and the only thing that happens when I do this is the LED notification light flashes red for a few seconds then turns off, then repeats 10 seconds later.

Has anyone got any ideas of what could be the problem, any troubleshooting tips? It seems to be turning on in some way but not properly in that when I plug it into my Windows machine, it starts to install drivers, but still no real sign of life.

Otherwise, looks like I'll be sending it back and waiting weeks for a replacement..

[Nexus 4 General] Qassim:
Ok, I think I've solved it.

I did a bit of searching for similar problems on LG devices, and found a thread on Microsoft.com about an LG Optimus 7. (Do a search for 'LG optimus 7 not turning on' (top result) I can't post links yet).

Yes, a LG Windows Phone device.

I unplugged the device, held down Vol up and Vol down + Power for around 10 seconds, then plugged the device back in and it booted up. The problem is, it is doing this every time and sometimes this method takes a few tries to get it working.

Once the device boots up, it is fine, but this means I can't install the latest OTA update as when it goes to reboot to install, it just falls over, and to get it to start again you need to essentially do a hard reset.

The good news is that I can probably wait a few weeks for the stock levels to replenish before sending it back so I'm not waiting too long without it.
