It just depends on HTC. I had mine repaired twice and now on my second replacement device (which is perfect - touch wood). I first suffered with Wifi - then it got repaired, but came back with a loose camera, yellow spots on the screen, broken vibration and overheating. So they offered to replace the device because it was brought back within 30days (more like they made the problems worse). So they gave me a new one - but that was faulty as it had a yellow tint to the screen, so they replaced it again because i brought it back within a week.

I know what you mean by it not feeling the same after it has been repaired - but to be honest i really couldn't tell a difference, normally i can.

They will more than likely offer to repair it, as its a lot cheaper than HTC giving you a brand new phone. At least you can get a repair and its not voided for a particular reason.

Cheers.

I just got off the phone to HTC regarding my Phones repair status and what they did to fix it. I initially sent my phone in for repair Because of Audio Crackling, Vibration motor fault when using softkeys or keyboard and Yellow spots on the screen when i charge the phone. NOW they are telling me they perfomed tests on the phone and found a WiFi problem(Which i never had a problem with) and they have fixed it and have shipped the phone to me. What Pisses me off is the fact that I'm getting my phone back with the exact same problems. I asked them why was the problem description not followed and they said they had a bug in their system so they did not know what the problem was when i clearly sent a copy of the paperwork that was emailed to me when i booked the phone for repair. It clearly states on the 'Problem Described:' section on the paperwork that i the above three problems. Has this ever happened to anyone?
[HTC One X] jayclarke:
I brought mine from Carphone Warehouse so my phones are always sent to there repair center. But I must say I've heard many complaints about HTCs repair service.

Cheersm
[HTC One X] RAHIM233:
They might replace it.. my original (bought) handset had G-sensor issue, so I submitted it in HTC service center and also complained 3 more problems.. it took 40 days, but they have sent me back a brand new one X handset, here in India.

I got n4 today.I have straight talk with my nexus 4. I already had att sim. I got average speed of 5mb down and 1-.1.5 up. I know tmobile is suppose to be faster hpsa+ network. I've been with tmobile and att the speeds where i live and they are close to same for me. I bought tmobile sim just to see. I averaging 12-14 mb down and 2-3.5 mb up. I would recommend if go straight talk route get tmobile if you can. Check your coverage but tmobile is faster I live in a medium size market.
[Nexus 4 General] Jess813:
How u get a Straight Talk T-Mobile micro sim card??
[Nexus 4 General] ibegary:
Im on straight talk att and it works for what I need. T mobile really doesn't have anything out side of the interstate here in Kentucky.

Don't see that changing anytime soon.
[Nexus 4 General] niftydl:
T-Mobile has a better HSDPA network in urban areas, but based on many years with both carriers it is safe to say AT&T has a wider 3G coverage and better signal penetration in buildings.
[Nexus 4 General] Jess813:
I'm on Straight Talk using At&t sim and will be trying T-Mobile sim next.

Only complaint that I've had is once in a while I get an "access forbidden "message while using the web. I've researched it and have found no answer.
[Nexus 4 General] Ajfink:
Cutting a SIM.
[Nexus 4 General] abe in space:
That sounds like a reason not to sign up with Solavei at all, not a reason to sign up with them quickly.

Also there's the fact that it's a pyramid scheme.
[Nexus 4 General] Jess813:
Dumb question here....

By trying out T-Mobile with Straight Talk and the N4 ... after cutting the SIM card it will automatically enable up to HSPA 42 speeds?(based on network connection)
[Nexus 4 General] Ajfink:
Make sure your APN settings are correct, and then yes, you should get HSPA 42 when in available areas.
[Nexus 4 General] Skenzin:
I've been on ST on my Atrix for a few months and don't have any complaints. TMobile's coverage map only shows 2g in my area or I would give that a try. Data speeds aren't the best but the money I save over ATT is incredible. I usually pull 2.5-3.5 mbps down and 1.0-1.5 mbps up. Speedtests can be a little funky because ST proxies all traffic through Chicago.
[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
I'm also using straight talk and until last night, my speeds were just horrible ( 0.25 Mbps :eek: ) but then I called them an they reset my data settings. Now I pull between 2mb -5 mbps. :winning:
[Nexus 4 General] droidmakespwn:
Remove the proxy from your APN. Solves this and for most it seems like the chance of throttling goes down.
[Nexus 4 General] AshtonTS:
I've been using straight talk AT&T with a T-Mobile phone, so Ive only been getting EDGE for the last 2 months. Anything will be an upgrade for me hahaha
[Nexus 4 General] dpaul007:
Been using ST with a TMobile sim. Just checked the coverage for AT&T and found out they actually have 3g and 4g in my area! Just placed an order for an AT&T sim!
[Nexus 4 General] Raul69.atl:
On tmobile i get 20 mbs in atlanta so tmobile rocks here.
[Nexus 4 General] Skenzin:
What are your APN settings?

I have

APN: att.mvno

Proxy: not set

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.33

mms port: 80

MCC: 310

[Nexus 4 General] Jess813:
Does AT&T not have up to 42HSPA? On ST?
[Nexus 4 General] Elpidio:
Toggle airplane mode instead of reboot. You can also leave Proxy blank.
[Nexus 4 General] rubiconjp:
AT&T does not have HSPA+ 42 in their network.
[Nexus 4 General] Cwebb03:
Um, if you want prepaid on T-Mobile, why not just get their prepaid plan? Its only 100 minutes, but you also get 3 GB more data for only $30 a month
[Nexus 4 General] joey3002:
I am curious if this fixed it for you.. I am having same issue. Everything works except for mms.
[Nexus 4 General] crazycd1:
You would be a good test then! Do you have Go sms pro? Go adavanced settings, mms settings, APN config, then I used the following:

MMSC http://mmsc cingular com space = dot

MMS proxy 66.209.11.33

Port 80

After that I was able to send pics. I have the exact same thing in the phones apn settings and I have tried both the one and two apn setups.
[Nexus 4 General] ml3000:
How are people getting speed test to work? Mine will ping but when it goes to do the actual test, it fails.
[Nexus 4 General] grubbster:

Is it possible to hit hspa+21 with St? My buddy on att gets 16mb at work but I pull around 3-5 mb. I believe I'm only on hspa+15 tho.

can i buy the sim card with the plan and stuff at walmart? do they sell it??
[Nexus 4 General] strra:
No, they do not sell at Walmart. I made that mistake myself. You have to get it at straighttalksim.com
[Nexus 4 General] Jess813:
Yes they do maybe not all walmarts but they do. Just ask a sales associate. I bought mine there it came with all 3 Sims and a $45 card for $65
[Nexus 4 General] :
Three Walmarts by my house said they didn't carry it in store. Its probably best to cal ahead. May be a regional thing.
[Nexus 4 General] marty331:
Remove proxy and port.
[Nexus 4 General] Hero_Guy:
Mine carries them but for $50
[Nexus 4 General] Jess813:

After just a few days of testing, the best settings I've found so far are a combination of all of the settings that have seemed to work well for people...

Regular:

att.mvno

no proxy

APN type: default,admin,fota,supl,hipri

MMS:

att.mvno

normal MMS proxy settings

APN type: mms

Edit: It may be coincidence, but when I added the extras to my APN type I instantly switched to a better cell with much stronger reception at my current location.
[Nexus 4 General] Jess813:
I don't use multiple APNS for MMS to work. I only use 1 and deleted the proxy and get average 5mbs which is fine with me.
[Nexus 4 General] pnut22r:
What apn are people seeing the best performance for st T-Mobile?
[Nexus 4 General] Hero_Guy:
This! I use that APN also and when I added the extra stuff, I went from 2-3 bars to full bars instantly.
[Nexus 4 General] mjpado:
Ridiculous Speeds!!

I am getting some insanse speeds! I gotta ask is this site reliable? I am on ST AT&T micro SIM.
[Nexus 4 General] Jess813:
Agreed I don't think its reliable what network are you on?
[Nexus 4 General] mjpado:
came back into check, about 5-6 on ST, AT&T SIM. I am very happy with that, I can watch YouTube stuff in HD with no buffering, Pandora is instantaneous. Good stuff for what I am going to use it for, web browsing is very quick, I like it a lot.
[Nexus 4 General] biggiephat:
Good luck with your streaming. Had the service one day. Used 200mb got throttled to 200 kilobits a second. Right back to t mobile after that bs
[Nexus 4 General] Jess813:
Lol not in my case been using all he mentioned and I'm still at these speeds
[Nexus 4 General] smw718:
My Nexus 4 arrived on Friday and I've been reading here and tweaking apn settings trying to optimize download speeds.

I've tried the default Straight Talk APN settings, deleting proxy information helped improve speeds, and the below is current settings.

I'm in NY, NY, and the best download speed so far is 1.5 mb

Anyone have thoughts?

Thanks,

[Nexus 4 General] Jess813:
I will send u my settings that allow me to get great speeds and MMS all in one! Going to meeting...give me a few
[Nexus 4 General] c0LdFire:
What, exactly, do "fota" and "supl" provide?
[Nexus 4 General] DJPrelude:
Can you also send your settings to me please?
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
can u just post them for all of us?
[Nexus 4 General] Jess813:
Here you go again just one APN for everything to work. What I've noticed is that the MMS has a lot to do with the last digit of your MMS proxy. It can be either 11.32 or 11.33.
[Nexus 4 General] RealiZms:
Bother reading this thread before setting up your APN? Gee, let me guess. No, you didn't. So long buddy!
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
do you add hipri on your APN type? does that actually do anything?
[Nexus 4 General] mrk829:
i had the same question as well, also what does admin do ( i am assuming it is short for administration/administrative)

My apn type settings: default, supl, mms , hipri.

Yes i get mms through just one APN. My whole settings are somewhere earlier in the thread, have not really checked my exact speeds but had notice a slight increase since i added hipri
[Nexus 4 General] Jess813:
No I don't I left all that alone
[Nexus 4 General] c0LdFire:
I'm 99% certain it's nothing but a placebo effect and doesn't do anything. I ran with it for a few days and recorded no difference whatsoever.
[Nexus 4 General] smw718:
Jess-what city are you in? Maybe ATT speeds in NYC is just lower in general?

I tried these settings and with multiple speed tests I'm averaging:

Ping: 231 ms

Download: 1.3 mbps

Upload: 0.21 mbps

I've not really downloaded anything over the mobile signal, so I don't think I've been given reason to be throttled.

Do you have to call ST to release 4G speeds?

Thoughts?

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] c0LdFire:
Those aren't throttled speeds. Those are terrible-congested-network speeds. Since you said you're in NYC, that's probably going to be your average during peak times.
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
yea thats what i figured. ill probably give it a shot anyway just to see how it goes. i just activated my sim so im playing the # porting waiting game now...:rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] juxsa:
Any one else having trouble getting call forwarding to work? when I try and do it i get a popup that says "call forwarding connection problem or invalid MMI code." If I try any of the gsm codes but without the # sign at the end of the phone number then i get the error msg from at&t saying the number can't be reached.

I had call forwarding working on my Gnex but I ported that number over to a micro sim when I got my N4. I cut the damn sim card wrong :(

In the end I am doing everything with my N4 that I had done with my Gnex but I can't use Gvoice as my voicemail... argh :(

Any help will be much appreciated

Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] jasonwc:
I assume you are referring to the code provided by the Google voice website to setup GV voicemail. I was able to setup my voicemail successfully using that method on ST AT&T. Note that it will not work on T-Mobile prepaid including ST's service.
[Nexus 4 General] juxsa:
Yeah, I am dialing this "*004*1865xxxxxxx#" and I get that invalid MMI error

EDIT:

got it working with **004*

been digging through google voice forums for the past 45 minutes
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
my number port is completed (only took about an hour), so now I'm up & running on st at&t. ran a few speed tests and im only getting about 1.5mb down & >1mb up, which is kind of disappointing since i was getting 12-20mb down & 2.5 up on tmo prepaid. but oddly enough even though my DL speeds are pretty low, my real life data usage is working great, better than tmo actually. my web pages are opening faster, YouTube has less buffer, not sure how. i guess the real test will be at work tomorrow where my coverage was super spotty before, but so far so good.
[Nexus 4 General] pnut22r:
Please let me know. I'm in the same boat
[Nexus 4 General] marty331:
If you have proxy and port filled in then remove them both and save. Then try your speedtest again.
[Nexus 4 General] mjpado:
I noticed that also, I have .33 at the end of my MMS proxy. Does that cause a difference from the .32 setting?
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
i already did, no dice. i tried a few different configs, best i could pull was 2.09 down.
[Nexus 4 General] mjpado:
Yes, removal of proxy helps. Leave it blank.

[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
Milwaukee area WI. I guess it doesn't really matter at home since in on WiFi anyway, at work is where it counts. the nice thing I'm noticing so far is that the data speeds seem consistent, even with the 1.5-2mb I'm getting, everything is loading up pretty fast. there were times on T-Mobile when it would show full bars of H+ and it would take like 10 seconds to load a web page:confused:
[Nexus 4 General] Jess813:
I'm in Dallas Texas I'm cool with my speeds at 5.0mbs average. Could be the fact that NY is way more populated. Like when people over use your home network and it slows down.
[Nexus 4 General] marty331:
I'm in Plano and seem to be getting 6-8, that could be due to less congestion up here in the burbs.

I work in NYC (long island city) burr live on Westchester. Westchester speeds are quite fast (10+ down) but in LIC it's a little over 1. I'm just using T-Mobile's prepaid. Going to try att straight talk next month hoping for better speeds at the work area.

In Brooklyn, I'm seeing my a tick over 3 mbps download and near my office in times square I'm seeing 1 mbps download. Ugh.
[Nexus 4 General] c0LdFire:
Yep, nothing ST can do about that. That's one of the cons of living in a massive city, sadly. There's thousands of other people close by trying to access the same cell tower. It's going to be slow. Try a speedtest at 3am or something and it MIGHT be a LITTLE better. On the bright side, don't you guys have a Starbucks on every corner by now? WiFi it up!
[Nexus 4 General] :
Straight Talk kept giving me issues, so I decided to go with T-Mobile. My girlfriends phone is also having issues with connection randomly dropping and coming back in a couple of seconds. Grr, I can't even use mine like a phone, just media device. >.<
[Nexus 4 General] joey3002:
What plan did you go with?
[Nexus 4 General] Jess813:
I agree but when I had T-Mobile and went inside a building like a 2 story mall I would lose all bars. With ST I don't on ATT. So while I may lose signal for 2-3 seconds once to twice a day, I rather have that then no bars inside.
[Nexus 4 General] clayjohn:
I think everyone knows T-Mobile is faster.

T-Mobile: DC-HPSA (42mbps), smaller network

AT&T: Much larger network, slower HSPA+ (21mbps)

Just depends where you live.
[Nexus 4 General] Jess813:

[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
ok so i was reading on the web on some other forums (i think Howard forums & android central) and people were saying that if you delete the proxy in your APN you wont get throttled, since that's how they monitor your usage. any truth to this? i deleted mine instantly and I've used 238mb in the last 24 hrs, no slowing or warning text or nothing:thumbup:
[Nexus 4 General] :
It was a big hassle to try and get my number ported. It wouldn't take because it's from another zip code and I gave them the wrong one, which resulted in them sending not one but two different sim cards, neither of which I got.

She actually has a lot of issues with signal regardless of where she is. :\

Likely going to just go with the $30/mth from t-mobile, i never talk on the phone, and i never really had issues with signal from them.

I went with ST for At&t, but I think the porting process is what drove me away, they were pretty iffy with connecting back to me.
[Nexus 4 General] marty331:
Mine are deleted also, I hit 139mb today, guess we'll see if I get a naughty message.

I've switched from ST back to my T-Mobile $30 SIM for a few days. ST AT&T, at least in the Peoria, IL area, has proven to be pretty darn unreliable. Data will randomly drop for a few seconds when I need it most, and there's a few indoor or rural areas it's a complete deadzone in. My work, for example, is a fairly generic, 1 story office building that has 5 bars indoors & out on T-Mobile (and Verizon, and Sprint..), but AT&T goes from 5 bars outside to a deadzone inside. I thought they penetrated buildings better, but that's a tad bizarre. We're talking in the middle of the city, probably a mile at most from a tower. I could get enough signal for a call if it was on my desk, but it'd lose signal entirely just by putting it in my pocket.

Stinks, too, because ST AT&T had far better coverage in rural areas / family houses for when I visit for the holidays. But I'd rather EDGE out there on T-Mobile then having it drop entirely.

Ah well, that's the beauty of prepaid. If it continues to suck, I won't renew it and I'll flush their SIM card down the toilet and call it a failed $45 experiment :p
[Nexus 4 General] :
You sound like me. I'm going to T-mobile mainly because of that. :P Plus they mess up my porting way too many times.
[Nexus 4 General] c0LdFire:
I refuse to deal with porting numbers between prepaid carriers. Google Voice runs my entire life now. I got over not having MMS pretty quickly, email works just fine.

I just checked out the coverage map for Tuscon and I'm jealous! Living in a smaller market sucks for coverage at times. Even Verizon has their dead zones out here.

I had some issues with porting as well .i had put in a port request the night before, but kept checking the status next day at work and got an error to call them about 15 hours later.i moved from va to wi to mn, but still had my va number. I had ported my number over to verizon from tmobile (to a family plan) while in wi. now i am in mn and gave them the zipcode for my billing address in mn. initially and they said they could not port because of wrong zip. the i gave them my wi zip since i was not sure if they wanted the zip code for when i ported while in wi. when that did not work, i gave them the initial va zip, and that did the trick, they were very helpful and stayed on the line to make sure everything was up and running. Had to talk to them for about 40 mins on the phone (and was transferred once) but worked like a charm. Will end up saving $50 bucks a month on 2 phones once my wife's contract ends with verizon in march.

FYI, I am on ST At&T since they do not even have a T-Mobile option for my zipcode in Duluth, MN.
