[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EPayne123:
This test was taken with an SIII. I used 3 different devices and took 2 Speed Tests with all 3 of them. I got results between 26Mb and 33Mb down throughout the devices averaging around the 28Mb down mark. Ping was at around 160 for each with an upload of around 2 each.

Sorry, forgot to mention this was taken in Fort Myers down here in SWFL. We obviously use HSPA+42 here.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red Wolf:
Using truly unlimited t-mobile and it is the best plan for nexus 4 for me at least.

Speed test
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threeclaws:
You're right, at least the option is there, I'm hoping I don't get kicked in the first place :)

I'm sure this is true of both but with ST I actually did a 3mos load up and got cash back with fatwallet, total monthly is like $38 after all that. I haven't had any trouble with ST CS or porting (I've actually switched back and forth from tmo->att->tmo and didn't have any issues) but obviously if something does happen it seems to go bad quickly.

I think this is a good idea if someone is worried about going over their data which could result in the account being closed and you losing your number, this way at least you keep your number.

I'm amazed that TMo hasn't cut you off with 30+gb of data usage, Tmo started to threaten me when I was hitting 5gb/mo, consistently, on their "android unlimited" grandfather plan.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudhirkhanger:
I am a little confused. Here is how see it.

Straight Talk

ST can run ATT or T-Mobile. $45/Month for unlimited minutes/text/internet

T-Mobile

$50/Month for unlimited minutes/text/internet. First 100MB on 4G

Solavei

Solavei runs on T-Mobile. $49/Month for unlimited minutes/text/internet.

Straight Talk's seems to be, narrowly, the cheapest option. Are these unlimited Internet really un-throttle HSPA+, if available, connections except for T-Mobile which has 100MB on 4G? Is there a daily limit on internet usage?

Solvalie is offering a month of free service. Sim card is free on T-Mobile and $9.99 on Straight Talk.

I had my Sprint number integrated to Google Voice. Do I have to switch my number to these carriers or Google Voice can take care of it?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asqwrd:
Yea i removed the proxy. What i meant was net10 specifically says dont tether while i think ST specifically says dont tether or stream audio or video in the terms and conditions
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
It doesn't matter that Straight Talk can't use AT&T LTE since the Nexus 4 LTE band doesn't support AT&T LTE anyways ..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red Wolf:
its truly unlimited plan so I can use as much as I want, but today i was usb tethering to test. lol they caught me :silly:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudhirkhanger:
What happens in places where ATT decides to deploy LTE? Are those places going to have slow 3G speeds only for Nexus?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
What? If/When AT&T deploys LTE on the band the nexus can use, you can use it. But their current LTE band is not supported.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svengalis:
From what I heard the straight talk plan has a 200 MB daily limit and they have a cap at 2/2.5 GB.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudhirkhanger:
Sorry If I was not clear. What kind of internet speeds do people get on non-LTE phones like Nexus 4 in ATT LTE Areas? Since Nexus 4 doesn't have LTE support, do we have to compromise with miser 1-2Mbps 3G speeds?

---------- Post added at 01:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 AM ----------

Do they charge you after 200MB daily or over 2GB monthly usage limit or do they just throttle your internet speed?

In any case, T-Mobile 4G Monthly loses big time on when comparing unlimited plans to ST or Solavei. I think I am going to give Solavei a try as they are offering a month of free service.

Do you have to get a new sim card if you are on ST and change carrier from ATT to T-Mo or vice verse?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M2oSa:
I'm getting that Tmobile $30 plan per month... Oh yeah
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Why would the presence of LTE service affect anything? You'd get HSPA+ service.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoisonWolf:
The sources vary on whether it is a daily 200mb limit or 100 mb limit. I've seen reports on both. They'll give you warnings....but eventually they won't even throttle and just kill service. As a heavy user, you want to be careful of Straighttalk. It's a pain to get your number back if they kill your service.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudhirkhanger:
What do people here think of Solavei as compared to Straight Talk?

This daily limit seems to be absurd. I tend not to go over 2GBs but I might hit 100/200MB limit on some days. A good ideas would be to port my number to Google Voice and get separate number from these prepaid carriers.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] co.ag.2005:
At least for Denver, the increase in bandwidth (associated with the LTE build out) increased my HSPA+ speeds. Before I was getting 1-2 Mbps down and now get between 4-10 Mbps.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:
My personal experiences with Straight Talk, YMMV.

I use Straight Talk. I buy the 3 month pin card off walmart.com for $126 and get the pin in an email 10mins later~

I chose the AT&T microsim because network access is more consistent for me in Miami, Florida.

There is mention that Straight Talk's service, although an MVNO, does have roaming capabilities for voice at least, as they have contracts with both. I have gone to 0-1 bar signal, to no data connection 4 bar suddenly. Hard to tell as it always says "HOME"..

I have used around 280mb in a single day, and have also used about 3.7gb in a single month. Without warnings or threats about excessive data use, nor throttling. There is nothing I don't do with my phones. I use every feature, including navigation, browsing, gps, search, listen to music, watch videos, everything, everyday without a worry. As does my wife on her iphone 4, although more moderate use. Others have reported using and abusing the service much more and getting away with it.

Now this is my own personal experience, YMMV. I get speeds from 1-5mb almost everywhere. Good enough to stream music and or watch youtube videos without hiccups, pauses or "loading".. Most of the time. Some bad spots are expected. But that's just AT&T's service.. I have gotten 7-15mbs on occasions as well, but it's not consistent.

People have mentioned or suggested you stay within 100mb per day and about 2gb per month just to keep your use under the radar. But these are NOT limits set by Straight Talk..

Consider though that they offer unlimited "web access", NOT unlimited *streaming*.

Unlimited has limits, like all you can eat buffets..

-CC

NOTE: Many of the people that say they "read" or "heard" or have "seen" reports of this and that, is just that, nothing concrete. I am of the opinion for some reason people have posted false and misleading information to sabotage and put doubt into possible users of the service on purpose. But again, you're on your own. I am just letting you know my own personal experience. And I would sure as heck let you guys/gals know if it were crap..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lightyear25:
In my area, T-Mobile > AT&T for HSPA+.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] co.ag.2005:
Fwiw, I've seen some actually get throttled when I was following this thread a lot.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=21604672

But I can't search it right now on my phone to verify those instances.

But it does seem the number of non-throttles far exceeds those who get throttled with moderate to heavy usage.
[HTC One VX] r0bot:
Does anyone know what the pricing will be like on the HTC One VX?
[HTC One VX] chuckly2:
I think it's $50 with a contract.
[HTC One VX] Infopumper:
Paid outright for phone $399.99
[HTC One VX] ralfkof119:
Not under ATT??
[HTC One VX] Johann12911:
That seems a lot too much, i paid $50 under a new contract for AT.T, and im pretty sure its at&t exclusive, unless you bought it from someone.

I work at a bakery. All kinds of ingredients are floating around and even get into my pockets. I had a epic 4g touch and had alot of issues with my charging port messing up until i got trident case with the port covers. I don't want my note 2 to suffer the same fate. Bulk or weight isn't an issue so long as my ports get protected.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] P1 Wookie:
The otterbox cases will have them, and some of the ebay ones do as well
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] KnukLHead:
Which ones
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] KnukLHead:
I'm gonna try the one and see how it is

how much did you pay for the full body.?

I went to best buy and bought the front screen for 25$ ughh

It says for "Optimus G E973" That isn't Sprint, is it?

E973 is the model # for the korean version which has the same dimension as the sprint one. E970 is the AT&T version, which won't fit.

Xtreme guard is pretty good, installation is pretty easy, looks good and adds grip so phone does not slip as easily.
[Motorola Droid X2] royta:
I received my replacement X2 yesterday due to a failed "back" button. My original was running stock rooted 2.3.4 with the battery fix and a few bloat apk's removed. My new phone came with 2.3.5 installed.

I'd like to speed things up on the phone, but absolutely have to have BT, WIFI, camera, and video camera. I also need to fix this battery % issue. The phone needs to be rock solid without the lousy stock lag I experienced with my old phone.

Suggestions?
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
if you wanna stay stock i suggest deodexing the phone and frezzing or removing the bloated apps you dont use. if you want another rom that has all those capabilities your best bet would be to stick with a gingerbread based rom eclipse, cm7. cant tell you which is faster cause i havent used either of them
[Motorola Droid X2] GuestK00367:
Try Eclipse 2.3 by Nitro. It has perfect stability, good battery life, and the speed is much better than stock. It is the only DX2 Rom that is completely finished with virtually no bugs. It has been around for awhile, so if you have any issues with installing it odds are someone here can help you out.

CM7 is stupid fast, but the wifi is sort of glitchy. Eclipse is slightly slower than CM7 but much, much more stable. Both are considerably faster than stock.

I've ran Eclipse for about 4 months, and CM7 for over a year. I prefer CM7 because I like the speed and can deal with the bugs, but it's all preference.

If you've never installed a Rom before, read up on the stickied posts and familiarize yourself with the process before you do anything. Pay special attention to the different bootstrap recoveries and sbfing. And ALWAYS follow the instructions for installing them EXACTLY as they are written unless otherwise told

Here's the link for Eclipse http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1198857

Note that Eclipse uses 2.3.5 and CM7 uses 2.3.4

Also, 2.3.5 fixed the majority of battery issues that were present on 2.3.4

If you need your phone for work and school like I do, stay away from any Roms not using Gingerbread. They are all very unstable and buggy if you use your phone a lot.
[Motorola Droid X2] royta:
Thanks for the suggestion. I installed Eclipse 2.3 this afternoon after work and I really like it so far. I didn't like the sd flip flop so I found the script to change it back to stock. I also became very accustomed to the stock calendar. Do you know if there's a way to install that?

I'm currently setting everything up and reinstalling all my apps.
[Motorola Droid X2] GuestK00367:
Ha yea I hated the sd card flip flop, changing it back was always the first thing I did after flashing lol

I know that on the Eclipse OP there is a download for what it calls "non-inverted calender". I don't really ever use my calender app, so I don't know whether or not that means the stock calender or something different. If you want to give it a try, it is not flashable so you simply have to install it using the normal .apk file method (download, put on sd-card, install from inside whatever file manager you use; I use Astro).

Always make a nandroid backup before though, just in case you don't like it or something goes wrong you can always revert back to how it was at the time of the backup.
[Motorola Droid X2] royta:
Actually, it's not the calendar itself, it's the widget. I really like the stock blur calendar widget because it would show three events instead of just one. Very handy.

Does anybody know what I need to do to be able to have the stock calendar widget?
[Motorola Droid X2] Lrs121:
The deodexed zip of stock apps for your device but they will only work on the version of android they were made for. 2.3.4 stock apps will only work on Ginger bread roms

[HTC Droid DNA] Alidaco:
I'm contemplating getting this phone, and being fully-rooted with s-off is a very important part of a phone experience for me. I have read a lot of threads saying that the s-off is "in the works, and will just take time", but are people being overly optimistic? Is it too good to be true considering that no modern HTC device without an SD card has achieved s-off, or do the developers actually feel like they're making headway? Finally, if s-off is never achieved, what kind of features would we be missing compared to an s-off device?

By the way, I would really like to thank the dev's for working so hard on the root and s-off. Its amazing what they've accomplished in such a short time.

TL;DR: Are the s-off rumors overly optimistic?
[HTC Droid DNA] Dri94:
DSB said it was in the works, but as adrenalyne stated i wouldnt get hopes up unless Jcase says its coming...
[HTC Droid DNA] Alidaco:
Where can I go to see the dev threads for this stuff so that I can keep updated?
[HTC Droid DNA] seeingwhite:
Worse case scenario, you will have to flash kernels through fastboot, and you will have limited access to /system. So yeah, we are all hoping for s-off, but we can still do quite a bit even if we are stuck with s-on.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Didn't jcase say he wasn't involved with the people trying to get s off.
[HTC Droid DNA] trickster2369:
I don't believe he's working on it, but if it's close, or accomplished, he'll know about it.
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
There's an inner circle working on S-OFF. You will not hear about it until it's done.

We can already do quite a bit if you know the commands in adb.

jcase is not working on S-OFF. The first few people he unlocked before public release are (these are the inner circle, if you will). He will certainly know when it's accomplished.
[HTC Droid DNA] paulguy:
Is this entirely necessary? As far as I can tell full read/write access is achieved in recovery. Really it's kind of nice because if something blows up or you get some malicious app that claims to require root, you're safe. While the option would be nice to have, I don't really think we're limited at all as things are right now. It just takes a couple more steps.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
The main things that we won't have is stuff like ad blocking apps, on the fly build.prop editing, the giant customization settings apps that many sense roms are coming with, etc etc
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
Adblock Plus just came out with a new app yesterday with enhanced features for rooted users: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.adblockplus.android
[HTC Droid DNA] TechSavvy2:
Funny....I remember a couple months ago when people were saying the exact same phrase in the d2vzw forums. We are all sharing the same optimistic thoughts.....but in the back of our minds, we all know its a load of sh*t.....we want s-off, trust me.
[HTC Droid DNA] l7777:
Do not buy a device based on what may be possible in the future. Buy it based on what is possible now. If s-off is important to you, then you do not want the DNA at this time. If you can live with the limitations, then go for it, but be careful not to turn into one of the disgruntled owners because you really wanted s-off and believed the rumors that it is "coming soon".
[HTC Droid DNA] luigi311:
The kernal flashboot problem has been bypassed on the EVO 4g LTE I'm sure the devs can make their kernals S-On friendly. As far as S-On vs S-Off on the EVO there isn't much except for flashing unsigned radios through the bootloader
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
there are significant differences on this phone between dev unlocked and s-off (for those on pre release units that were lucky enough)

kernels: atm, s-off can flash in recovery, unlock in hboot (yes scripts can be done, but still)

radios: no-go on dev unlock, yes on s off

reverting to older RUU's: well none exist currently, but s off can, dev unlock cant

splash images: cosmetic, sure...but not possible on dev unlock

updating/reverting other firmware: only possible to update through a signed RUU for non s-off folks...s off folks can revert or update with just parts of the RUU that are extracted

/system access: only possible in recovery for those with dev unlock, s off can access it in android....this might not seem like a big deal to the average user...but for devs?, pretty horrid....for example, if i want to mod Rosie for some reason (landscape, app drawer, cosmetic, whatever) typically i can just adb push the apk and test it....now i'll have to boot to recovery, push the apk, reboot to android to test it (a lot more time consuming and annoying)
[HTC Droid DNA] jcase:
I have nothing to do with s-off. I'd wait for hyuh and/or fuses to say something.
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
I really wouldn't buy a phone based on what you're hoping for. If s off is that important for you, I wouldn't buy it. All that does is lead to a lot of disappointments and complaining honestly. I see a whole lot of posts and entire threads on the forums where people are posting complaints about model xyz phone not having updates fast enough or not being s off, not having a different OS/UI working without bugs yet, things like that.

Buying something on hopes and dreams is a mistake in my opinion, and if fastboot flashing kernels and not having splash screens is important to you, I would buy a different phone now and get the DNA after it's s off. Any rumors or speculation that you hear is just that. The guys who are really working on it wont be posting about it much because even in a best case scenario, things change mid development as progress is made.
[HTC Droid DNA] adrynalyne:
Sir, your logic is NOT welcome here!

:D
[HTC Droid DNA] QD2DC:
Just to add, you can push and test, but it'll revert back on reboot. Did so many times already ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] yearn2burn:
Is anyone able to remove bloatware from their DNA? This revert back issue with s-on seems to prevent it.
[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
You have to unlock it, install a recovery, root it, and you can install a debloated stock Rom or a custom Rom.
[HTC Droid DNA] MustafaHadaKing:
or just run a debloat script. You have to rooted for this to
[HTC Droid DNA] Dri94:
You guys know dsb has a kernel that enables the ability to write to system

[HTC Droid DNA] yearn2burn:
Debloat script doesn't work for simply rooted DNA with stock Rom and kernel, as changes revert back as soon as u reboot. Will simply changing to a rooted kernel fix that? Will that make the phone s-off?
[HTC Droid DNA] BBEgo:
No, S-off has nothing to do with the kernel. If S-off were as easy as a modified kernel, we'd all have it by now.

[HTC Droid DNA] RLKirk:
No but installing a kernel with write to system will allow you to change the /system folder while booted into android and it will stick after reboot
[HTC Droid DNA] strip419:
Sooo it impossible to delete unwanted apps by using ROM TOOLBOX PRO? With root and s-on?

[HTC Droid DNA] orangechoochoo:
It's easy, the developers are just too lazy to get around to it :silly:
[HTC Droid DNA] rajuabju:
Thats because Samsung has sold a crapton of SG3's. Whereas the DNA.... who knows, but its not gonna be anywhere close .
[HTC Droid DNA] minjiet:
so, just install a kernel that can write to system, then use titanium backup to delete those system files, they will delete forever?

or run debloat script will be easier?
