Try changing the APN setting from "pta" to "phone". I believe pta is the setting for the LTE plan, and phone is the setting for the regular 4G.

I think you only stay grandfathered unlimited if you don't change your plan at all. I have the 2GB plan that is no longer available, and on the "Add or Change Services" page it tells me that if I make any changes I won't be able to revert to my current 2GB plan. I would assume it's the same for all discontinued plans.
[Nexus 4 General] ppeklak:
i have grandfathered unlimited data from an old iphone 3gs plan...here is what it says on att's website:

Data Unlimited SmartPhone Personal

Data Plan for SmartPhones. Unlimited domestic data usage. Only available for upgrades. Requires customers to be on a "Gold List" Data Unlimited SmartPhone Plan prior to upgrade to 4G device.

so is this considered "4G"? i live outside of philly and the fastest i've ever gotten on speedtest was around 6 mbits/sec...99.9% of the time it's between 1 and 3 (this is on my galaxy s 2).
[Nexus 4 General] smalovic:
As far as I know, they label all the 4G plans as such. What are your APN settings? If it's wap.cingular, I'm pretty sure that's 3G.
[Nexus 4 General] krhainos:
Mostly correct -- I was under the belief the wap.cingular isn't able to achieve HSPA+ speeds (I was only able to get 1mbit up and down). Someone else in a different thread told me that they were connecting at HSPA+ speeds on wap.cingular. So it turns out APN's alone aren't directly indicative of what plan you have. However, being able to connect on either "phone" or "pta" APNs is pretty much a guarantee your plan is provisioned correctly as those are the APN's used for HSPA+ as well as LTE.

Here's my exact post from the other thread : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34778373&postcount=19

It may well be true that AT&T don't check that an IMEI is unique, but actually it

IS

a unique serial number ....
[Nexus 4 General] Nicthalon:
So far only updated the APN, and I was on the wap.cingular, with a grandfathered data plan. My Speedtest results after the APN change is now DOUBLE my wifi connection speed via DSL. I'm outside city limits South of Holland, MI, and getting 7-9Mbps now. I can't wait to go up to Grand Rapids where I know ATT has a very robust 4G network and see what I get there.
[Nexus 4 General] 4ktvs:
So would LTE on AT&T work with the non-smartphone unlimited data plan?

Does AT&T even pick up the nexus 4 as a "smartphone"?

Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] krhainos:
It appears some people who are in AT&T LTE coverage where AT&T does not have 700MHz licenses are getting LTE over the AWS frequencies (the same ones used in Canada). The Nexus 4 only appears to have LTE operable on AWS. There's more about it in this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2021173

It's unlikely LTE would work with the non-smartphone data plan as those require the "pta" APN, which is only accessible on LTE plans.
[Nexus 4 General] blaine.hale:
Atlanta here.

I double checked to make sure I had my settings right, according to the OP.

I'm not getting the LTE symbol in the status bar (only H) and getting 8-10 MBPS down according to the speed test.

I assume that's still HSPA+ for the Atlanta downtown area. (By GA tech)

AT&T iPhone 4S SD Chip to N4 - 4G Compatible?

I am switching over from an iPhone 4S to the N4 and cannot get 4G data speeds (actually the best I can get is sub 2mb/sec). My old APN was wap.cingular and I beleive I was only getting 3G data with the iPhone; however, at some point AT&T started calling my service 4G and that is what would show up on the phone. Can anyone confirm that the iPhone 4S to N4 switch will require me to take the IMEI route to get the AT&T 4G speeds. Thanks for the help.

[General Questions and Answers] johnmcavoy:
I purchased a used (and poorly) Blackjelly BJ689 7" tablet with phone support which had been rooted and severely screwed up. I spent a couple of days hunting for this tablet without any luck, and the phone numbers for sales and service are dead.

The original ROM supported the phone, and the Phone worked to a degree, and the GPS signal level meter appeared in the upper toolbar. After some searching, i ended up installing the UBEROID ROM from techknow (option 120) I tried about 20 different versions, most supporting the phone, but once installed, i couldnt see ANY link whatsoever to access the phone, or turn it on. The Uberoud ROM software said it had backed up the original ROM, which it did, but later trying to re-install it freezes the tablet.

Could someone throw me a lifeline and try and either identify the device further so i can track down the original ROM, or tell me why the Uberoid ROM versions dont show me the phone option.

Thanking you in advance,

John

In other words I have to:

1)flash to a custom rom

2)flash to official ruu

3) s-off

4)flash to custom rom again

And why I shouldn't stay at first step? will I have a problem if I have a rooted s-on phone?
[HTC Desire S] ben_s247:
well no you are flashing a recovery the first time then downgrading the ruu then s-off and then flash to custom ROM.

I don't know if there are newer methods out there im currently getting a new phone so im not much help in the experimentation side. but it should be pretty solid the tricky part i found was getting a hold of the right ruu all that saving the misc version and stuff is really important as its needed to downgrade.anyway good luck let me know if it works for you i haven't got too much feed back on this topic. oh and rooting is defiantly worth it opens up the phone completely and everything seems to work all of a sudden.:cyclops: YES YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ROOT AN S-ON AKA SECURITY OR LOCKED PHONE. this of course refers to kernel which is normally locked(s-on) there is a bunch of other uses such as being able to set root to open items very handy worth buying (support the devs buy apps you like!!). you can just do a search on good play is it for root only or s-off apps wich will usually have some usefull tools anyway hope that helps.
[HTC Desire S] Billlis:
I have just unlock my desire throught HTC-dev (still S-On) installed a recovery and a custom ROM. I suppose this is not the right procedure but I have not any problem with root-access apps now. btw its the third time that I have rooted this phone
[HTC Desire S] ben_s247:
you will be able to install and run these apps normally but the will be either not working or have limited functionality

use this to check your root and install these programs if you dont have them

First of all, thanks for this tutorial, it got me quite far!

There's one problem:

I can't get any further than step 9, because the thread with the RUU's doesn't exist anymore (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002506)

I can't downgrade now, I've searched the whole internet for the version I need (HTC-Dutch HTC__E11), but I can't find it.

The only thing I found is from HTCdev, but the file I get from there is a .tar, and I don't know what to do with that.

I can unzip it, but the only thing I get from the file are a bunch of folders and files I can't open.

Can you please help me?

[HTC Desire S] WoZZerZ:
Since the TS uses a 1.47 version as an example, and I only found one European version of 1.47, I'm downloading that version.

I'll try to install it tomorrow.

edit:

I tried it today, and it doesn't work... The program crashes when getting device information

edit 2:

Wait, I can't get past step 7 either.

When using the first command, I get this message:

C:\android-tools>adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon started successfully *

error: device not found

I tried it again with USB-debugging enabled, and this was the result:

C:\android-tools>adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/misc_version

Unable to chmod /data/local/tmp/misc_version: No such file or directory

Could somebody help me please?

EDIT 3:

I found out I had to push misc_version on the phone first, (not said in this tutorial), so I did that.

Then I could chmod it, and it worked fine.

I relocked the bootloader, and tried to install the RUU, but the RUU keeps crashing whenever it starts... :(

I don't think the phone is the problem here, the RUU keeps crashing while the phone is ready to accept it.

The problem is that the list of RUU's on XDA-developers is gone (see step 9 in the tutorial, the link is dead), so I might not have the right version.

I've searched everywhere, but I can't find the exact RUU I need according to the tutorial.

I'll try one of the RUU's thanks :)

It's installing now, I've got further than ever before! Hopefully it all works, I'll let you guys know in a few minutes

IT WORKED! Thanks!

And now im stuck on bootloader :(

im lost.

**EDIT**

figured it out, i have to unlock it again in htcdev >.<
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
You have to download and unzip misc_version, then:

adb push misc_version /data/local/tmp/

Before the chmod command.

But I think you'll have to unlock your bootloader again to use adb.

Edit: oops just saw your edit :)

Which Android Phone Is The Greatest in Performance and Everyday Usage ?
[General Questions and Answers] andromaki:
Both are great in their place if you just want to choose only one into them Sony is the best in performance and regular usage
[General Questions and Answers] deepakpunjabi:
sony vs samsung

Yeah.for everyday uses sony phones are best.

because

-launcher never lags

-launcher is very polished you dont have to download any other launcher

-sony phones has great camera

-they have worlds best music player WALKMAN

-user interface is smooth it never lags regardless of phone wether is high end or low end sony device

-sony phones look good in hand.they have one of the best build qualities like apple and htc

-sony phones has good amount of roms,it is rewarded as OEM OF THE YEAR by XDA.and sony is continuosly ahead to support developers

-bootloader on sony phones can be easily unlocked via sony's official site

advantage of samsung

-you should buy a samsung device only if you are going for s3 or s2.other phones are waste.

i only recommand to go for flagship samsung phones like s2 s3 note note2 because

-they have tremendous processors

-samsung is fast to provide updates for flagship phones (not for other phones,while sony updates the whole range like xperia 2011 or xperia 2012)

i think this is enough for you to decide which phones are better.

ps: hit thanks if anybody helps you.:angel:

I used have G2x from tmobile. I was wondering if any one has tried to use the V6 super charger script. If what were your results?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] osmosizzz:
Yeah you can. I'm using it. What I see is better memory management. Having 12 apps open in my recent, going from the 12 to the second or first, it doesn't reload. its there just as I left it. I didn't see this without the mod so it works.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jcbofkc:
No... At this point it is not necessary. I am a pissed off G2X user also. I had no idea this is how modern phones work. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
No. It wont do anything. Supercharger script merely adjust minfree values(androids default app cleaner) when available memory reaches a certain level, android automatically closes background processes to free memory and keep things lag free.

This is actually a reverse affect caused because the minfree settings you chose were less than what the default settings were. This is not the intended result of the v6 supercharger script.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zeppelinrox:
You should get a clue.

Dozens of tools tweak minfrees.

big deal.

But nothing does what supercharger does.

I think that osmosizzz must have also used the maximum overdrive multitasking that boost the hardcoded app limits.

And there's nothing else like that either.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zeppelinrox:
Here's a clue http://goo.gl/IvGL1
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Yes I already know about your work? What are you trying to say other than insulting me?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] osmosizzz:
Common people let's get along. Well I tried the mod on my last 4 phones including this one and immediately I see better memory management. The thing is that zep has included so much more in the work than just tweak min free. Yeah there are dozens of tools that tweak min frees but his does more. Right now I have 11 apps in my residents and my ram has locked at 0.93GB. That didn't happen without the mod. My ram would always hover 1.2 or 1.3 GB with 7 apps in my rescent. If I were to switch between any apps right now, they will not reload. Also something I didn't see before the mod. Now as to me having the app head raised, I just went through the script as I always did and I always had the same outcome with every phone I've tried it with. Just my 50 cents on it

Sent from my Rooted Gameboy
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] zeppelinrox:
You were totally wrong to begin with.

But since you're familiar with my work, you actually admit to knowingly spread totally false information.

Or maybe you just don't "get it" and it all goes over your head.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
Again with the insults..

The op asked about the supercharger script, not about the multitasking mod. Your original v6 supercharger script is used for devices with low memory and for people experiencing lag (it's even in your sig) our devices have an incredible amount of memory, thus never having lag. Therefore the v6 supercharger script won't really do much. Plus when I used your script on my HTC touch pro 2, all it did was adjust minfree values to sooner clean up things providing more resources. Yes it also has bulletproofing app options, but that's not what the original question was.
