What is the cheapest way to get three people on a plan in the united states that has unlimited, or many texts? I don't need data for any of the phones, and basically any number of minutes above 150 will do. I know 150 is EXTREMELY low, but I just want to allow any suggestions. I don't have a preference for whether its prepaid or contract based, gsm or cdma, as long as the service is decent or good and it allows smartphones. I am looking at $60 or below, though again, all suggestions are welcome. Also, if you somehow find a plan that has data or anything else, I'm obviously not against it :D.

Thanks a lot guys, I know you're taking time out of your day to help me.
[Networking] papabear:
T-mo Family Value talk/text plan , take your pick.
[Networking] cardboardhome:
Yeah I was looking at t-mobile. Though t-mobile, though cheap, still turns out to be around $70 a month after taxes. Do you know any cheaper alternatives?
[Networking] Slack2116:
I spend $180 a month for 2 phones through Verizon. I wish I could only spend $70.
[Networking] MrObvious:
If you have Chit Chat wireless, they use Sprint and it's $9.99 for like 4000 texts and a thousand minutes and $19.99 unlimited talk and text. T-Mobile has a $15 plan that you might be able to still get if you call them and it's unlimited texting and 10 cents per minute. Your only other bet is maybe a family plan postpaid with contracts. T-Mobile's Value plan might fit your needs in this regard if you add it to your main plan.

Prepaid is probably the better option though.
[Networking] cardboardhome:
Wow I really like the pricing and plan of chit chat wireless, but I don't like that they use sprint. Are there any prepaid GSM carriers that have a similar plan?
[Networking] MrObvious:
Not really. But for talk and text that isn't bad to use Sprint.
[Networking] thesecondsfade:
I have two lines on the T-Mobile 1000 Minute Family Value Plan. The plan is $49.99 for the minutes and $10 per month for unlimited texts on all lines. You're gonna be hard pressed to find a much better deal. T-Mobile Value plans are VERY affordable. I only pay $10 per month per line for unlimited data too (slower after 2GB, but unlimited nonetheless). My total bill, including 2 lines, 1000 minutes, unlimited texts for both lines, and unlimited data for both lines, is $80. It'd be $60 total for 1000 minutes and unlimited texts with no data. I know that's more than what you're looking for, but there is not a cheaper plan out there with all those features.

If texting is all you care about and you have WiFi access all day, you could just use Google Voice and any Android, Windows Phone, or iPhone.
[Networking] cardboardhome:
The only thing I don't like about the tmobile value plan is that you have to sign a two year contract for it. Is there any other option that doesn't require a contract. It doesn't need to actually be a family plan, just the cheapest option for 3 people to get individual texting and some (we don't use a lot at all) minutes.

Thanks guys.
[Networking] MrObvious:
The only way I can think of would be like I said above. I looked long and hard for my phones.
[Networking] cardboardhome:
Yeah I would have to agree. For a family plan w/ contract they are easily the cheapest. But for prepaid and others, there are cheaper that don't have unlimited texting. I guess I don't need unlimited as long as there is a decent amount of texts. Btw, thanks a lot for your help, I know what I'm asking for might be impossible.
[Networking] MrObvious:
Yup. I know, it's frustrating.
[Networking] papabear:
Doubt you will find anything cheaper really. As the T-mo prepaid 30$ /mo (per line of course) is 100min/unlimited text/data. SO thats 90$/mo plus taxes and stuff.

You may be able to find someone's older shared plan that works for you. on a site like cellswapper or similar.

I have tried, but because of my gf need more minutes. Oye!
[Networking] cardboardhome:
Yeah but now what I'm looking for is prepaid plans. Plan wise I doubt anyone can compete with tmobile.
[Networking] MrObvious:
Especially if you wish to avoid Sprint.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IamaznX:
My friend bought a Tablet for me in Taiwan and I want to flash a custom ROM to it. Because it was purchased in Taiwan, I wasn't able to find it online by Google... Here are the specs for the Tablet:

Android Version: 4.0.3

Baseband Version: 1.2rc2

Kernel Version: 3.0.8+

Build Number: mid-eng 4.0.3

CPU: ARM Cortex A8 1GHz

GPU: ARM Mali 400 MP GPU

RAM: 512MB

-How do I tell if a recovery is installed?

-How do I flash a recovery?

-How do I flash a custom ROM, and what is the highest Android version my Tablet can support?

I think my Tablet is rooted, because when I typed "su" into a terminal, I was given "#".
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Sung:
You could use this app. Touch the icon and it gives you several options, one of which is 'Boot into Recovery'. It's free:

I'll try it out later at a 7-11 to see if works or not and report back

It works! Went to 7-11 and bought my first purchase using Google Wallet. Everyone in line was surprised and shocked that it was possible to just tap the phone on the credit pad. Amazing!

simpler procedure

I got wallet installed in my international note 2 using the following simple procedure. all seems to be fine. But it is late, have not had chance to actually use it make payment yet.

1. change build.prop to Galaxy Nexus (remember to make a copy to backup)

ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus

ro.product.name=yakju

ro.product.device=maguro

2. reboot

3. install official google wallet app from play store

4. run it and set it up. It allowed me to add credit card and etc. but since my device is rooted, it says unsupported

5. make sure all runs well, then delete the wallet apk from /data/app

6. download the zip file from the link above, and get the wallet apk out of it -- DO NOT flash it in recovery

7. copy the extracted wallet.apk file from to /system/app and set the permission

8. reboot and run wallet to make sure it runs fine

9. change build.prop back to original one

10. reboot

[HTC Sensation] Raven2k:
I have no idea what the htc one x thing is.. are you sure you're on the right forum? :) that's a HTC sensation q&a :)

If you do have a sensation you could try installing 4ext recovery (see my sig) it comes with an app called '4ext recovery updater' which keeps your recovery up to.date and also let you boot directly into recovery, you could see if that helps.

Ok so here is what happened i have a rooted g2x i have tried to install all the roms especially ice cream sandwich. when ever i try to flash a rom on this particular device everything works except receiving text messages. SO i have a second g2x (rooted) and i flashed the rom and everything works fine on the second device. so can somebody tell me how to fix this problem for the first device, by the way my first device is a replacement from tmobile because when i bought one it wasn't working so they gave me a new one also i flashed roms on it and it was working fine but the replacement device is not working. any help is appreciated.(can someone tell me how to delete post on the forum) . i am running the latest baseband and android 2.3.4. v21y
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noahk423:
If youre not recieving texts, but the other one is, it could be a problem with the phone itself. and if youre running stock software, it makes me think its even further towards the hardware side, although it might not be. I suggest also trying out a different rom, or getting it replaced. and to delete a post, you need a moderator to delete a post. PM one of the G2x mods with a link to the post to get it removed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RAin geAR:
If it's only text that you are having trouble with, try switching the SIM cards. Maybe it is SIM related or carrier related issue tied to the particular number. If the SIM from the other phone works, the nothing wrong with the phone or ROMs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mahassan6:
is there any other way to fix it without getting it replaced.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] goojman:
Anyone having issues with Quick Command Not Working?? I've cleared cache & cleared data. I've even tried the demo model @ At&t & it works there. I'm able to open it but no matter what I write it doesn’t do anything.. It'll even force close if I start pressing on the buttons a few times. I'm thinking my phone may be defective & I'm thinking of returning it & getting a new one. Any suggestions would be appreciated!! Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] musebox:
Yeah I'm having a similar issue. I can pull up Quick Command but when I try to add a new command, and select applications for the list of apps to pop up, QC crashes after scrolling down to messages or maps. Meaning I am not selecting messages or maps but I can only scroll down to the apps that begin with M before QC freezes and force closes. I've tried scrolling quickly and very slowly, but still QC crashes and I cannot scroll through my entire list of apps. I have been able to add commmands for apps that I can access before it crashes like Dolphin, Calendar. I am running stock and root but no roms.

**** UPDATE ****

Well, after applying the new multiwindow update, I now am unable to create a new Quick Command for an application. When I select the application option, Quick Command just hangs, the screen goes black, and I get an error that quick command has stopped working and it force closes. I can still access it and the preinstalled/created quick commands, but I just can't create a new one for an application. I tried wiping my cache and cleared data for it but still does not work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] musebox:
So nobody else has had this issue? I did a google search and found some info and fixes tied to the contacts or language input but neither worked for me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] demize!:
I'm on a stock T999 which was rooted,stock, but now not bc I accepted the 4.1.1 OTA and lost root. OK I have a Mac and Heimdall doesn't work on SIII and the script method doesn't work on Jellybean so I'm going to install Windows and use Odin as soon as I can get my install discs. The weird thing is that now I get the "insufficient storage" message but just on certain large game apps. I don't know if it could be bc I removed adds via Luckypatcher and can't remove odexed App ghosts via root explorer now that I'm not root or what. The odd thing is these were games I paid for and tried to redownload,that crashed after losing root . Sorry for the long explanation I'm just trying to get a handle on what is exactly occurring here.I searched and only found threads re that error that occurred consistently.Also getting a "this device has been modified" prompt when checking for updates which is odd bc it's not rooted,but when it was this gave me an OTA? I'd love to hear if anyone has any Mac root methods I'm not aware of as well.

Hey everyone,

I'm in dire need of some help.

My father in law purchased a Nextbook 8 Premium SE (here in Canada) in October. He found it was a little limiting and wanted to be able to do a bit more with it, since the stock OEM wasn't all that great and Google Play wouldn't install so we were stuck using the default store that came with the OEM OS.

That being said, it's now 2 months later and he wants to go back to the old version. He's an older gentleman and finds that this is now too complex for him, he'd like to go back to the basic OEM version and use it primarily as an eReader. It came with Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 OEM and a few OEM applications installed.

I've been busting my arse to find a stock OEM ICS 4.0 rom somewhere on the site, I came across N8+ which is built on ICS 4.0.1, and it almost works great but doesn't autorotate and this is a deal breaker for him.

Would anyone have any thoughts or know where to get a clean Nextbook Premium 8 SE ROM (Ice cream 4.0) that I can use RK29 to put onto the tablet?

Hi Kevin, you are not supposed to post these type of threads in this section. This belongs in the Q&A section. I would love to help you out but I am really not sure and wouldn't want to give you a wrong answer. Your best bet is to call Virgin customer service and find out.
[HTC EVO 3D] kevin130:
Whoops. i knew that. I thought i was in the Q & A. Sorry! Can a MOD please move this? Sorry for the trouble!
[HTC EVO 3D] valdesr11:
While they can move this for you, I just looked up what a bad esn phone is and I wouldn't suggest getting one. If I am understanding this correctly, a phone with a bad esn means its either been stolen/lost, the bill was never paid on that phone, or there is still an account active on it. All seems weird to me but seems like bad news as well. Cheaper or not, I would stay away from those. If I am misunderstanding something, please let me know.

If you really want an EVO 3D, I would suggest looking through ebay or amazon for a good deal.

Also, don't forget to report your stolen phone. As useless as it seems, it will help you in the long run.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
"Bad ESN" phones are for parts only. It is illegal to change the ESN to use phones that have been "blacklisted" for any reason, and therefore prohibited from discussion on XDA.

I am not very good at programming, so I would like to get a team of developers together to help. They would modify Android ICS 4.0. It would be for a desk fitted with a tablet.

Or, if you're comfortable, you can edit the moboot.default file in the /boot folder.

Using a file explorer with root privileges, make sure you are in r/w mode, long press on the file and select edit/open in text editor. Change the name to your current rom, guessing it's CyanogenMod (caps matter), double check that name though, you want it to be the same as it appears on your moboot menu.

Save the changes and you're done
