If HTC don't give me a replacement would contacting T-Mobile be of any help?
[HTC One S] blackcell1:
well that's why they let you unlock the bootloader via htcdec ;) so they know that you've voided your warranty. its worth ago giving t-mobile a call but i wouldn't be holding my breath.
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
I was told by them through email is that if u can get the phone back to stock with locked bootloader and everything is still working warranty is still intact I was gonna send in my 1s for Chipping but didn't their customers service sucks never buying another HTC

Isn't the one s screen a AMOLED display?
[HTC One S] Qs5:
Or just yolo it like I did and break off a SIM tray pin. Then they will be forced to give you a new phone or motherboard. :P

They sent me what appeared to be a brand new phone, locked bootlaoder, no scratches, no dents, damage. with new water damage stickers stickers and new IMEI Number. Or I just got lucky....

EDIT: IN NO WAY AM I RECOMMENDING YOU CAUSE PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE.

This is the the one s forum, you should've posted under the one x forum. Also the one s has a super amoled screen whereas the one x has a super lcd 2 screen.

I am on galaxy s 3 and want to get this phone but dont want to upgrade my any line ( one of my line is upgradeable) and they offer me $100 credit towards it but I dont want data on that line.

I am reading about 200 down payment and 20 dollar per month to some month. Do we need upgrade for that?

I also heard samsung phones are on sell from this black friday. So how much its going to cost?

Any idea will be appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] j_shelton1988:
The 200 and $20 per month is for the value plan, which is contract. Some sites have said the note 2 will be on sale for black Friday but the lowest I've seen so far is $50 off for renewing a contract or new line, so it's still not "cheap" anywhere, unless you get a good deal on Craigslist or ebay
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jfarhat:
Actually, the sale on the Samsung phones is now over, I don't know if another round will be coming soon (I would not be surprised)...but on Nov. 16-17th, I purchased several Samsung Note 2 devices for my multi-line account at a price of $199.99 after mail in rebate (almost all other Samsung devices were free though, after mail in rebate). That is very cheap for a Note 2. I'm sure if you wait till after the new year, they will be giving them away for free in one of their sales events. T-mobile has been doing this for a couple of years now, and the sales are great! If you want to wait.....and yeah I know how hard it is to wait......you should be able to get it for free in a few months.

good luck!

oh yeah the price I paid is for the classic plan not the value plan.....it's simple, if you are on the classic plan you pay about $20 more per month and the device is highly subsided by T-mobile. If you go with the value plan the rate plan is $20 cheap per month, but no discount on the phones...you pay full price....but T-mobile will finance the purchase for you for free over 20 months. In the end if you want a flagship device and have multiple lines, it is cheaper to go with the classic plan (especially if you can swing the 15% corporate discount...I end up paying appox. $56/month for each line with unlimited everything no slowing down of my internet either).

Gool Luck on getting a great price on your purchase!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bikrame:
Explain me please whats difference between classic and value plan .

I have 4 lines on family plan with 59.99 for 1000 mins and different adds on (data , text) on each line ( differ as per line) ).

Its not prepaid .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jfarhat:
Okay, think of it this way.....Classic plan is where T-mobile will subsides the price of the phone for you. So, if you sign a two year contract, they will give you a certain amount of money off the price of the phone. You get the device for free or you pay a small amount for it at the time you purchase the device. But in return for that they charge you $20 more each month for the classic plan.

The same plan specs but in a value plan range, will be $20 less per month...but they will not subsides the device for you at all. You pay 100% of the cost of the device. Now they will help you afford the device by taking a down payment from you and then charging your $20/month for 20 months on the device with no interest.

So in the end they are very similar in cost. Unless you have multi-line account and purchase flagship devices (especially when they have their free phone sales)...you can really clean up with the saving at those times. I just did an early upgrade (I called in and asked nicely and they allowed me to upgrade all 5 lines after only 8 months on our contract). So I purchased 2 Galaxy S3 devices for free and 3 galaxy Note2 devices for 199.99 after mail in rebate.

Also, with the classic plans they offer upto 15% corporate discount....no discount is offered for value plans. On top of it, if you call in and again ask nicely, you can get them to reduce the cost of your plan. I pay approx $56/month for unlimited everything on each line. That includes getting reduced rates, 15% discount, and being on a classic plan with the devices being highly subsides. I sell my older devices (S2 and S3 devices) and I end up making money on the devices rather than costing me anything. And $56/month is very cheap for everything included (no throttled internet either!! that is a big deal!!).

but if you want a cheaper device and want to keep it for as long as possible then the value plan may be a better deal. I can see situations where that would make sense for someone...but for me, I like a new device about once a year and I always get the flagship devices...with so many devices on my account...this is the best value for me.

I hope that makes sense...good luck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] INFRNL:
Good explanation.

I see the plans being the same in the end, but for me the value plan is better.

Value plan you pay full price on the phone but plan is $20. Cheaper. Classic you get a discount on the phone but your plan is always $20 more than value. Im trying to save money ea mo so I paid off the phone to save the 20/mo.

Ill try your advice on getting a lower price on unlimited plan though. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jfarhat:
This is the perfect use of the value plan...you pay off the price of the phone and then bank the $20 per month, each and every month you don't update your device. That makes perfect sense!

For me, since we always are updating our devices to the latest, greatest....it would not make any sense.

as of getting the lower price...call and ask to speak to account retention dept. They will put you on a $20 unlimited data plan (only retention dept has access to the account codes for this grandfathered plan) and they basically give you deeply discounted plan rates and still get discounts on the devices if you are willing to sign a two year contract. I believe I am paying very similar to a value plan pricing, but with a classic plan benefits with regards to the device discounts. I never accept the price quoted by sales rep. Always call account retention. I do that will all services I purchase from cell service to cable with TimeWarner Cable....you can save a ton of money by just asking nicely to have your rates reduced...it is amazing. Hell, I even get my credit card interest rates reduced that way also....just get the right person and ask nicely...if the rep doesn't want to do it for you...just hang up and call back...sometimes it is just that easy.

Good Luck with whatever plan you choose!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vettic:
Just to clarify... if I am a longstanding customer on a classic family plan and I call account retention to ask about upgrading one line to a Note 2 at the new contract price ($199) without disrupting any other services or changes that would affect the other 3 lines, they would be apt to do so as long as I extend that line's contract (or the contract in general) another two years? I just added all kinds of services recently but each line pays their own way so to speak, so I wouldn't want to have to switch to a value plan that might make everyone have to potentially pay more overall per month. I hope this is clear.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jfarhat:
yes that's exactly correct, you don't even need to contact account retention to upgrade your line. You can upgrade 1 line or you can upgrade all of them individually as you see fit. I will tell you, that I don't believe the 199 dollar sale is still going on. I believe right now the best price you can get it from T Mobile is 369 dollars, that might be where account retentions maybe able to help you out by reducing the cost of the phone for you. Also you want to see if they can reduce the cost of your data plan, put you like on an Android gandfathered plan that will cost you about 20 dollars, that's what I'm on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] robl45:
Corporate discount applies to value plans too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jfarhat:
Oh really, I was not aware of that? When I switched to Tmobile about 3 years ago, I was told otherwise by the store clerk. I guess I wss told incorrectly. Thanks for correcting that information.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vettic:
Funny you said that because as recently as yesterday, I checked and the new customer sale price was $199. The price today is in fact the regular $369, although they advertised til 12/20 on their site! Sneaky, sneaky...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jfarhat:
Yeah, that charge so much for this device as compared to the other carriers. I really don't understand it. I can only assume that their rate plans are so cheap, that they can not afford to subsides the device as much as the other carriers...but you know what, it doesn't bother me that much since I save so much overall being with T-Mobile.

I think they are a great company to be with, as long as they have coverage in your particular area....they can't be beat on price, and their customer service is exceptional (at least from my experiences with them - unlike AT&T, they SUCK!). Sprint always has billing errors, you have to call them each and every month to correct the charges, and Verizon...well they are just way to expensive to even bother with.

Stepping down from my soap box now.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jlczl:
Value vs Classic will be different for everybody since there is many variables.

Value is best for me. When I was on classic on a family plan with 5 lines, 1 with 2gb data, one with 200mb data, and 3 without data, all with unlimited texting, 2 with unlimited minutes and 3 with 500 minutes I used to pay $225 per month including taxes. Now on value I pay $115 per month including taxes but I now have true unlimited data without throttling on the line I previously only had 2gb plus I added data to one of the lines that didn't have it previously. Everything else stayed the same. My end result is a savings of $110 a month.

I get new devices constantly but only on my line and not the others and I'm happy to pay full price since my savings clearly outweigh my new device addiction expenses. :D

Either way, you should go to your local store to find out what would be the best deal for you......just as long as you get a smart rep you should be ok.
[Networking] pdario:
Hello, I'm in trouble with a brand new Optimus Hub (TIM branded) with Android 2.3.4.

I'm trying to make it connect to my home WiFi (WPA2, no SSID broadcast, 64 char password, Mac address whitelist).

I'm pretty sure I put the correct password and also tried turning SSID broadcast on, but it never connects to my network, without any error message.

This night I'll try different things (short password, no WPA and so on), but do you know of any issue about WiFi connections? Would a wrong password trigger an error message?

Any know LG update about this?

Thank you!!
[Networking] Reilly1812:
You're on the right track. Don't forget to turn off the mac whitelist as well.

Still Charged Up
[Networking] pdario:
I found the password is the problem.

First: I have a 63 chars password, but OH only try to connect with at most 62 chars! Otherwise it not even tries to connect!

Second: there must be some char that it cannot handle properly (I suspect it to be space); with a simple password, it works, with the first 15 chars of my password it always says password wrong.

I'll try to find out what's the offending char, but I'll first check for an LG update to see if it fixes the problem.
[Networking] Reilly1812:
Unfortunately there is no consistency in password implementation across vendors of phones OR networking gear. Even SSIDs are not standardized. I can use special characters in some equipment and not others. Everybody either thinks they know better or they can save a couple pennies. Glad you found the culprit.

Still Charged Up
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exjc1986:
Hi,

I just upgraded my firmware from KBLH1 to XDLK1, used the official version from Samfirmware. Everything seems to be working fine except on the lockscreen I see weird grey smudges on the left side. It wasn't really clear with a colored wallpaper, however, with a black wallpaper its very evident. Attached is a screenshot of the same.

Not sure why this is happening, and its only happening with the lockscreen, I have a black wallpaper on my homescreen as well and it seems to be fine. Is anyone else facing this issue. If yes, do we have a solution for this.

Also, the LED looks a bit dimmer than usual.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:
For the screen effect:

-comes from the ripple effect

-was already there on ICS

-only solution is to turn off ripple effect in lockscreen setting

For the led thing:

-since JB, the led is set by the light sensor (same as the screen when set to "auto")

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Teranox:
Hi.

Since 4.2, google navigation is unable to locate me on the map. As a result it just doesn't work and stay on "locating your position" or something like that.

If I use other gps based app (such ingress, car home ultra, etc....) those app have no problem to find me accurately.

I've tried clearing cache and data in the app section of control pannel. Also in the recovery mode but no success.

I use the latest map app version

I use stock rom for yakju 4.2 on a galaxy nexus

------------------EDIT WITH THE SOLUTION-------------------

Thanx to @Enforceman here's the solution:

-on main page press the search bar at the top (box written Google following of a mike symbol). This will open Google Now

-then Google now will tell you that location service is currently Off.

-You will have a link to a setting menu to turn it on

-Go in that menu and turn it on.

THERE IS IT. YOU SHOULD NOW HAVE A WORKING GPS with google apps.

What Google should have done at first is that after the OTA at reboot they should have put a windows asking if we would like to turn on that feature. After a clean wipe it will work because they explain google now. But not after the ota......anyway it is done, it work, that's all that matter for me ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Teranox:
Anyone having this issue?

I've aslo noticed that the camera app can't get geo-location infos.....but Camera FX does.

So it is really something about the google apps! Any non-google apps work perfectly with GPS and the GPS test app work fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enforcerman:
I had this issue too. Other GPS apps would locate me but Google maps would not after 4.2 OTA even though location services were turned on in settings. Apparently, that setting is for non-google apps and there is another setting switch somewhere for google apps.

I found a fix after I noticed that my Google Now cards were not working. I clicked on the top search bar which brings up search and google Now. At the bottom there was a message that said my location access was turned off. I clicked on that and then clicked on the settings link that it had.

It brought me to a new white setting screen with a switch for location access which i switched to ON. It seems that this specific switch has to be on for google apps to access the GPS.

Works now. Hope that helps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Teranox:
Thanx to @Enforceman I have the solution now!

To resume what he just wrote

-on main page press the search bar at the top (box written Google following of a mike symbol). This will open Google Now

-You will have a link to a setting menu to turn it on
