It seems like TMobile US removed 5G cap for their $70 prepaid plan. It might be worthy for GNex to tether. But their web page

are very inconsistent. Anyone successfully switch the data plan to $70 prepaid unlimited?

http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/monthly-4g-plans
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
I wish Tmo had reception here where I live, I would jump on that plan quick.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
I was on the 5G for $70 and it automatically switched to unlimited (or at least that's what my account says). Never got above 4G, so I don't know if it gets throttled after 5G...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 95Z28:
Good deal I been hoping they would offer a no contract legit unlimited data option. I might still go with the 30$ 100 min option though, just because I've gotten used to regulating my data for 5gb and don't use hardly any mins anyway. Oh well I got 2 more months to decide, maybe they'll have more choices by then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
You can always use the thrity dollar plan and just change it ton the seventy if you find yourself going over. Don't think you can do it the other way around
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] helloworld1:
In my account's plan page it showed as below. It is very inconsistent.

* First 5 GB at up to 4G speed

Plan details : $70 UNLIMITED 4G WEB, TALK and TEXT

* First 2 GB at up to 4G speed

Plan details : $60 Unlimited Talk, Text & Web (first 2 GB at up to 4G speed)

* First 100 MB at up to 4G speed

Plan details : $50 Unlimited Talk, Text & Web (first 100 MB at up to 4G speed)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c0LdFire:
I'm definitely switching to this. Sick of trying to deal with VoIP on the $30 plan, and, while I'll rarely take advantage of it, having truly unlimited data can't be argued with for peace of mind on vacations or whatever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crazyjimbo:
Tmobile won't let you activate a tethering plan with the unlimited 4g plan, I tried and it different work anymore
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pocketbook:
Since it is a newer plan, I would imagine that they are still working at getting current subscribers ported over to the new plan. I would also guess that if you do go over your "limit" that you could be thrown onto the applicable plan by calling to customer support.

Looks like a great deal, one I would definitely hop on if I didn't have such great service through Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanishere:
I bet some of the mnvos will follow suit, or at least modify their definitions of "unlimited" data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c0LdFire:
I switched over on Friday and purposely passed 5GB by re-syncing a ton of my Google Music library. No throttle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] helloworld1:
Good to know. I will try to download things like Linux image to test the throttle.

I don't believe you will be able to install cdb, but I could be wrong.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Oli2k:
Finally I have the commuter for the Note 2

Here is the review - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzDGAmVdXQQ

Overall I really like the case and its more me than the defender
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Note_2:
Can you do a drop test?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Oli2k:
I could but it has been proved many times before that Otterbox cases protect the phone in drop tests.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] GK2020:
Thanks for the review! I have owned Otterbox cases in the past and they were OK (my old iPhone 4S Defender case was not that good though - it lost its original shape pretty quickly)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Note_2:
That's true, however I have yet to discover ANY for the note 2 commuter. I'm sure it'd get pretty popular being the only one in existence. Since the note 2 is so much bigger, I'd like to see if the result s are the same.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Oli2k:
That is true but I personally don't want to risk smashing my phone.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] IamPro:
Anyone find a way to add more grip to the back? Pretty much only thing holding me back from making it my main case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] randpost:
I find myself using my defender more often now since my phone has taken a few dives off of tables from sliding in the commuter case. You could always put something like a fly grip on the back, but I personally find those to be ugly.

I still use my Commuter, but the defender is a better case design (remove built in screen protector) and the size difference is minimal between the two cases.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] gpgalanis:
In the defender thread there someone complaining that after he removed the screen protector from the defender the screen was scratch by touching the hard inner plastic.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] randpost:
I wouldn't know. I use a full coverage screen protector so plastic doesn't actually touch my screen or bezel and I have yet to see any scratches on the protector. I'm not sure how plastic can scratch a gg2 screen considering the hardness of the two materials. Perhaps he got the scratch from a harder material and didn't notice till later

[Nexus 4 Accessories] GuestK00336:
I really doubt the orb will be a reality. The Q was canned and never returned. LG can barely keep up with demand and is now rumored to have stopped Nexus 4 production completely. You can't even get a bumper for the device. I really highly doubt that the orb will happen. If you do any searches regarding it, most of the results are "where is the orb?" and many are posted prior to Christmas (it was announced by Google in October, and like I mentioned about the Q, it isn't the first time Google got people excited about something that didn't pan out). So I hate to rain on the parade but I highly doubt it will happen. Even then it may release and be plagued with issues. I saw the CES review on Android Police and the VU seems to be a great device. Not awkward or a pain to charge, just drop the device anywhere on the pad and good to go!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] render35:
All very interesting but sadly complete rubbish. First of all the serial numbers are in fact batch numbers, so if you buy two batteries from the same batch they will have the same number.

Without picking up on every single point individually the differences in labels and casings on genuine original batteries are simply because they are made in different factories around the world and as with any factory they have different equipment. In fact the labels are almost certainly produced by label printing factories and the batteries are, in many cases, manufactured for Samsung by battery makers rather than by Samsung themselves. Think about it - there are literally hundreds of millions of mobile phones sold around the world every single year which means hundreds of millions of batteries - do you honestly believe that every single label and battery are going to be identical?

I have sold thousands of Samsung mobiles over the years and have seen many original batteries (as supplied with the phone) where the labels look completely different. I have purchased batteries directly from Samsung with no small dots on circle on the waste bin. I could go on, but sorry, the above post is simply an opinion and nothing more with no foundation whatsoever.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Etirel:
When you buy "genuine" batteries for 10 dollars, you should realise that you're not probably gonna get real goods. "Genuine" batteries go for atleast 20 dollars.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lingowistico:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Except laws and contractual agreements. Anything they do "on the side" is illegal so its the Black market. Its best to assume if its too good to be true - it isn't true, even if sometimes those products are genuine
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lingowistico:
On one hand you're right on the other hand I'm right lol.

I know for a fact that some official Universal Music/Studios factories (that press discs) also press pirate discs by night (when the factory is supposed to be closed). So you know, you never know :angel:

Specially when it comes to places like China, where western thinking and logic doesn't mean antything.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I never said you were wrong. A genuine product leaked on the black market though, is not really genuine, even if by manufacture, it is genuine. When it leaks to the black market, all integrity is gone. Half of what makes a genuine product genuine, is warranty.

But if someone says, a genuine battery is $20, anything that is $10 is fake, they're not correct. Sometimes a genuine product on the black market can be $10, however, chances are that $10 battery IS fake. You cant keep buying $10 batteries hoping they will be genuine.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teekaytk:
One of the easiest ways to identify a fake battery is to look at the weight. I bought a so called "genuine samsung battery" for my S3. When I weight it on my precision scales, the fake battery was 20 grams lighter than the original battery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geekboy26:
After being burnt once before after buying a cheap battery for my BB off ebay, I'd only buy batteries directly from the manufacturer, like Qcell, Zerelemon... Are you guys willing to share the names of the sites you bought the dodgy batteries from?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mano75:
And level block size has anything to do?

I did the " *#0228* " and the original battery which came with my Note 3 reports "Level block: 8" while the eBay one I bought through Auction reports "Level block: 4"

Weight: Original one weights 54,60 gr. while the one from eBay weights 43,54 gr. That is 11 grams less...

I just wanted to ask this before I start peeling them off...

Cheers,
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agent007bond:
The number of level blocks appears to correspond to the current charge level (43% = 4 blocks or 96% = 8 blocks). The important thing should be the range shown ("0~8"), and when 100% charged, does both batteries say "8 blocks"?

The weight is a good indicator that it may be fake. Probably it's using a smaller inferior cell padded with a plastic filler to make it same size as a genuine battery.

Anyway the idea that the BatteryStatus screen can help check if it's genuine appears completely moot because the screen does not show any manufacturer info about the battery, as was originally claimed in OP's post. Even with the stock battery, all it shows is a bunch of numbers. It doesn't show the manufacturer (name) or capacity (mAh) even with the stock battery.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
I bought 2 month ago one of the ebay-'originals' for 14€. Approx. 70% capacity and not grewing during 3 charches. I sent it back and the substitute showed the same. I bought a battery in Samsungs-eStore then (30€ incl shipping) and everything's fine: began with 85% and grew upto 100% after 3 charges.

All labels are different. The weight of the fakes is the same as the old original, the new original differs. So keep it simply and buy from Samsung.

It would be definitely better than exynos 5250 specially at the Gpu part 4x compute performance of Mali 604 (Gpu of n10) and 10x graphics performance of Mali 400 overall I expect it to perform at least 2x of Mali t 604 and surpass iPad4
