An Update: Contrary to what the CSR said that it will take 30 days to process the refund, I was refunded my money in 8 days. This does come as a pleasant surprise to me though.
[Nexus 4 General] clockcycle:
I had Simple Mobile just before switching to Straight Talk (once they made byop available). At $50 a month it sounded like a great deal. But I did not have much coverage indoors, home and at work. The kicker tho was I could never get more than 120-150k data speed. I asked if they throttled and had them look into it. I was throttled from day one, since activation. Never got better, altho people claimed getting 3-4G speeds on the $60 a month plan. I then spoke with a tmo rep, she told me tmo mvno's are on lower a priority tower access portion of tmo's network.

Edit: recently found out simple and st are both tracfone companies.
[Nexus 4 General] kevkid:
Hrmm, IMO simple mobile is great, using them for a year. I have great coverage and great speed. Originally I had a 60 dollar a month plan a they are the only company that I have ever seen to send me a message telling me that my bill was lowered to 50 a month.

simple mobile

Simple Mobile $40 plan.. Call quality is just as good as AT&T (Best but too expensive) pre-paid in Philadelphia PA , Data is great tested at 5.4mbs down and 2.3mbs up that is before the cap at 250mb, sms and mms is great no problems at all..in fact my wife is on t-mobile with contract and she can't download some of the mms I send her. Data is severely slow after the 250mb though 0.30mbs down 0.18mbs up.

Conclusion, use your wifi while in your home if you have it or be very conscientious of how much data you use if you don't have wifi available..

I have been using pre-paid phone services since 2006

Companies used: AT&T Go Phone, Red Pocket Mobile, T-Mobile, Current Simple Mobile

Q: Does anyone have the mmi code for data usage for simple mobile? I tried texting INFO to 484848 and got a text back saying "null"??!!

Please PM me........Thanks for any help..
[Nexus 4 General] playya:
try #web for simple web useage or you may only be able to check online. Simple was great for me and my speeds went as high as 15mbos on my SG2. i had to leave after I too found out unlimited meant up to 2gb but other than that no complai ts at all. TMobiles prepaid @ $70 unlimited works quite well also
[Nexus 4 General] sLiKK:
where in Philli you get these speeds? I have simple mobile $40 plan and am moving to northeast philli next month.... would be great to find out how is their signal/data speed/strenght in that area.

thanks.

Texting "info" used to work up until two months ago or so. You can check data usage from your account at http://www.mysimplemobile.com/
[Nexus 4 General] Drzfr3shboialex:
I had simple mobile. Speeds were slower than t-mobile's and data is capped at 1gb. Plus might as well get t-mobile prepaid, much better.

Work in a cell phone store ...

People come in daily to activate simple mobile ...

Next day or two same people come and start Arguing how their internet was cut off ... and they blame the ones who sold it to them ...

We call simple and state the problem and they said that they only have a Certain amount of Data they can give to ALL users . so for example if they have 100gb and 100 people use 1gb the 101th person to use internet gets cut off. .. even if they only use 100mb and then they said that this was in their policy ... that was simple mobiles explanation to the master dealer ... Customers Freaked out .. cuz we sold them Unlimited* internet .... Also Without opening the sim card you cannot read their policy.... Horrible company my sister had it and switched to tmobile no problems afterwards .. it was good in the beginning but now its stuffed with alot of people..

[Nexus 4 General] mustangtim49:
Flat out the WORST cell plan on planet Earth, quite possibly in the whole universe. I, like someone who enjoys being ramrodded, bought 3 Simple sim cards and not too long afterwards was treated to Simple's "no f#@cking data at all" plan. Then, when I thought I had it all worked out and they robbed another $150 from me, they treated me to their "even faster" version of their "no f#@king data at all" plan. After a trip to the hospital to have a rape kit administered, I burned those sim cards. Hey Simple, f$@k you! Other than that, they SUCK!

With Tmo's LTE roll out, I wonder how many users will jump SM's ship since they only mention HSPA as being 4G on their site.

Wondering that myself as I get LTE on Tmo's $30 5GB prepaid plan. If any SM users can confirm getting LTE service/speeds, that would be great as I might switch to SM's $50 unlimited data plan as long as there's no monthly data cap.

I have simple mobile but life in Miami I don't think lte has rolled out here
[Nexus 4 General] ekmenet:
Pros: Good Performance, I’ve been using SM ($50 all “unlimited”) for work over 2 years now, and it has worked pretty well for me. Use it in my Nexus 4 and before in a Nexus One. I also carry a HTC Glacier with a T-Mob post paid as my personal phone, basically used when traveling abroad, to be able to roam and use WiFi Calling. Live in S. Florida and service wise, both perform exactly the same: poor coverage inside buildings in general, compared to AT&T. No dropped calls, good voice quality. Speeds at 3G/”4G” HSPA+ (Real 4G is recently launched T-Mob’s LTE); 13-15 Mbps down, 1.5-1.7 Mbps up, comparable with a $30 pre-paid SIM on a GSIII (HTC Glacier is only 7.2 Mpbs), may be 2-3 Mbps slower compared to T-Mob’s service.

Cons.: No call forwarding, no Intl. roaming, no WiFi Calling. If you need to get in touch with CS, it might be quite frustrating, at least in the past. I got a better response using their FB page. They will respond to basic questions in 24 hrs. As LTE still isn’t deployed in S. FL, can’t tell if you will be able to connect. You might connect, but they could limit the speeds to what they actually offer in HSPA+. Or they might simply don’t allow any LTE traffic even if you connect. That’s something for someone using SM in one of the newly deployed cities, to report.
[Nexus 4 General] wareju:
They will throttle you down to edge speeds and even cut you off completely on ST if you use too much, it's in their shady terms of service.

Hi

On my HTC I was able to send group text messages to just mobile numbers that i had setup in gmail but on the xperia T it sends it all numbers associated with that contact. So my group of 58 ppl becomes 93 numbers. Is that an xperia T problem or my custom ROM.

Thanks
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
not sure, what rom are you on and which messaging app are you using?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] l6cum:
RomAur and the stock messaging app. hTC was using ordroid and stock messaging app.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
ok, I am on that rom and i dont have any groups set up, i will test it tomorrow and let you know
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] l6cum:
Just downloaded from play store group text, and it had an option to show mobile numbers only, and no limit to number of recipients u can send to so, got there in the end but HTC did it as standard just thought xperia could do it too.

Thanks for looking into this. Would like the stock apps to do this.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
i have just set up a group to test it and when i goto the group and choose send group message it gives me a list of numbers to choose for each member in the group.

There is also an option to "remember the selection" so next time it will just pick that number....

So it does work in stock message app...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Diamond Rhino:
So I accidentally flashed a Jelly Bean ROM leak for the SGS2 I9100 and now I'm stuck in a boot loop with the Samsung logo repeating itself. When I boot into CWM recovery (PhiZ Touch 3 Clockworkmod 6.0.1.5 is what this one flashed), my phone is unable to recognize my external SD card (E: Can't mount /sdcard/).

I've Wiped Data/Factory Reset

Erased Reformatted SD Card

Attempted to connect Odin - does not recognize phone

I've tried NUMEROUS times to connect Odin (Kies)

From what I've read, it sounds like my partition is pretty screwed up. I've been reading a lot of posts on possible solutions and nothing has worked. If I could get access to reading my SD Card and reflashing an old ROM, I'd think I'd be in the clear. If I could find a way to push a ROM through Odin, I think I'd also be in good shape. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Ryan

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Check out mobiletechvideos.com epic 4g touch jtag service. Its about $50 and the only way to recover fully from an intl flash on the et4g. U need to be more careful with what u flash because u can easily turn your phone into a doorstop and if u have no ins and are out of warranty will be stuck having to buy a new device. If you have warranty but no ins it'll cost $35 at sprint corporate store to get it replaced, and ins will run u a $100 deductible. Jtag can't fix the BLOD(blue light of death) brick but can fix a wrong version brick like u currently have. Your bootloader and USB support are currently fubar from flashing the wrong one with the intl versions rom package

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Diamond Rhino:
Thanks for the reply. From what I gathered it looked like I was going to have go the Jtag route and I'm preparing to send the unit out. You brought up an interesting option of taking it to a Sprint Corporate store for replacement. I purchased the phone in March of 2012, so it should still be under factory warranty - unless you mean Sprint Warranty - but won't they know I caused the problem?

As far as flashing intl version ROM, I was content with the GB ROM I've been running for months and just jumped when I saw a JB release for what I thought was my version of phone. Won't do that again. :)

So Jtag is the only route to go; no hope of running a script to push over an reset the phone?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Yes, unfortunately the corporate store is only good if you're superbricked where u only get a solid blue light when u try to boot up. Mfg warranty and sprint warranty are 1yr from purchase date. In your current situation jtag is your best bet. For future reference double check what u want to flash and make sure it says sph-d710, epic 4g touch, e4gt, et4g or sprint galaxy s2 as device name, anything else is most likely for one of the numerous other variants and will leave u in the situation ur in now, which is no good. If you ever wipe in the wrong recovery and end up with the BLOD then sprint corporate store or Samsung are a good option for replacement under warranty, its cheaper than ins and usually thru sprint only takes a day or 2 if they don't have a refurb on hand.

Edit: and yes jtag is the only way to get back to 100% there are a few ways to patch it up but u still lose USB support because the wrong firmware version that was flashed to the emmc allows it to activate but its drivers are messed up, basically the phone thinks its the i9100 instead of the sph-d710 so it can't find all of it's hardware components due to the internal file structure and hw version differences between the 2 devices.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Diamond Rhino:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] byrdcfmma:
Before you send your phone off for jtag service, at least see if you can get to DL mode. If so, can you use one click exe stock EL29 and you might get lucky. I have been able to get to DL and use this if I get to the Samsung logo.

ALso, will cwm recognize the internal SD? are you able to put a nandroid or rom from you ext SD onto your internal oneusing your computer?

I'm sure you have tried this, but throwing it out just in case. Good luck.

I have a Galaxy Nexus I9250 and have installed cna 3.8 ROM. The problem is that when I change my LCD Density to anything that isn't stock, I get Server Error (5002) on any EA game I try to play. I've tried multiple DPIs from 240-318 and none of them let me play EA games. (I'd like to run at 240-260 DPI).

What I have tried:

I have followed the cna instructions and cleared market data, accepted the terms and conditions, gone back and chosen DPI and rebooted. That didn't work, for any DPI setting.

I tried restoring back to 320, uninstalling plants vs zombies, cleared market data, uninstalled updates (suggested on another forum), cleared Google Services Framework, changed DPI, reboot into recovery, cleared both cache and dalvik, rebooted, install plants vs zombies but I still get the error come up.

I'm all out of ideas here, but surely there is a way because I'm sure people with phones that have stock DPI 240 are able to play it.

Anyone know how to fix this? I've searched online but couldn't find any solutions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] naandrade:
Hey guys,

I was wondering if there was a way to mod the stock SMS apk (of if there is one modded somewhere) to support group messaging from iphones so that everything is in one thread and not multiple (I think its called threaded group messaging?) I've tried all the messaging replacements such as handcent and gosms but neither of them did it for me since I like the stock better. I've searched a bit for a solution but all I can find is to use the replacements which I don't really want to do. Right now I'm on JMT X2 but messaging is still stock from what I can see and being able to support group messaging would be a nice little added bonus feature.

Anyone know any solutions to this out there?

Thanks in advance.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelorona:
Hi again

I know this is a well know issue but i wanted to ask something about the batteries and this problem. For some reason when i bought my Atrix it came with the bh5x, but i bought a bh6x after a few months. The problem is that when i started flashing roms the battery stopped charging to 100% with the bh6x, in some roms it charges to 93%, sometimes to 72%, etc; but my stock battery every time charges up to 100%. I know it may sound crazy, how can batteries affect this percentage since the charge it's the same, only the mAh.

The bh6x charges up to 100% (my phones says) when i charge it with the wall charger. I'm now using the bh6x in case of i ran out of battery with the bh5x because for some reason, using the bh6x while charged with the external charger, my camera stops working, it force closes. At the beginning i thought that this could be just coincidence, but i haven't had that problem since i put the bh5x as the primary one.

For me it doesn't make sense that the stock one charges full, and the bh6x(original) doesn't. I thought that there could be some file or configuration on the phone that i've not seen, i'm not a professional in this rom stuff, but i know at least the basics.

Has someone experienced something like this?

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelorona:
Yeah, i know that there is a fix for that, but that was not the question, otherwise i would just download it over again. The intrigue here was that it's akward that my stock battery( bh5x) charges always to 100% without problems, but my replacement battery(bh6x) doesn't and when i charge with the wall charger it seems to cause problems with the camera, i just wanted to see if someone had the same problem, or even just the one in the camera....

I believe everyone got their atrix with the bh6x, don't know why mine came with bh5x...
