Personally, from my own experience Optus have been the best mobile company I've dealt with. My wife is on Vodafone and they have been abysmal from the off and given the opportunity I'd break the contract in a heartbeat. I'm currently on Virgin as is one of my kids and I'm currently in a battle with them over a $900 bill which has arrived following a 'free' handset upgrade (which took almost 3 weeks to arrive after they messed up the original order). When questioned about it I was told the fee was an equipment charge, despite the fact I pay a $5 monthly handset charge.

On the other hand, I upgraded my other daughters phone with Optus and it arrived less than 24 hours later and the threw in additional credit on the monthly allowance as a thankyou for renewing the contract.

The only issue I have with Optus is the flakey coverage where I live but it's the same for many services as so many use the Optus network. But in comparison to Vodafone, Optus coverage is light-years ahead.

My home phone is Optus, my whole family's phones are Optus, my home broadband is Optus. Customer service isn't half bad compared to Telstra and TPG. Once, when I churned my Internet to Optus, they told us that there would be a 2-3 day delay on modem deliver and then the compensate they didn't charge the first bill, which was 60 dollars.

Sometimes they send their promotional spam via SMS though, and that's annoying. Besides that I've never had a poor experienced with thrm
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Optus has been alright for me, coverage is pretty good in areas I go. I switched from telstra because it was cheaper, Telstra still craps over Optus

Telstra>Optus>Vodafone

Yea that may be true, but when you have ur internet, home phone and 4 mobiles connected to optus, it gets annoying.

1. Optus Broadband can be slow and can be fast, many times the router doesnt respond and we have to resort to restarting it. On top of that, when we first connected with optus 4 years ago, they sent us a broadband router which would often be slower than dial-up. We later found out the router was buggy and ordered another router. A week later They sent us another one, and they mucked up the order and they sent us a router which was not wireless. (No Wifi). After another week, we got our current modem which is still quite slow. At this point we gave up and were content with what we had.

2. Last year, one of our devices could not connect to the modem. We called up Optus and asked how to deal with the problem. After 1 hour, (30 mins on hold and 30 mins of rambling) we hung up and i decided to ask Mr. Google. It turned out that it was a small security feature which thought my device was an unknown device, and blocked because of security. I just disabled it and voila! Thankd Optus. -_-

3. The coverage of Optus is pathetic compared to services like Telstra. Most of the time i find myself Holding my phone to the phone to the sky just to get 1 bar of reception. Not to mention that mms problem with AOKP roms.

4. Optus used to have good internet packages (1TB of data for $129) but now they are extending their prices and it is $100 for 300GB. Come on.

We are not changing because it is too much of an effort to switch. We have been loyal customers for years but they still do not have any loyalty offers at all. All standard prices.

Lift ur game Optus.

I found that Optus had been pretty good in Hobart alone, Hadn't really ventured too far out of the metropolitan area as I was 14 and still under my parent's wings. But I'm with Telstra now, which is good. I got my phone from canada, just so I can use Telstra 3G on the INC S
[HTC Incredible S] Burtrum57:
Well my wife and I are with TPG who use the Optus network. While coverage may not be as good as Telstra it suits most of our needs. I went with them for the value/price. I pay $35 a month to get $1000 of calls and 3gig of data which is all I need.

The only bad part is AOS/KP roms and mms. I think I've got it sussed now, a bit of mucking around but not unbearable. Time will tell.
[HTC Incredible S] poompy:
no mms

the only issue i have with optus (im actually with exetel) is the mms. I have been using mysms or whatsapp to get around it but doesnt help when someone tries to send me an mms.

Does anyone know what the actual issue is?
[HTC Incredible S] Drugzy:
+1 with it not working on aosp. Also, service has been terrible for the gf. They refused to repair her phone under warranty. Every staff member in their stores have been rude with the whole process of her broken phone. I think I will be going to Telstra after my contract expires!
[HTC Incredible S] addyhash:
i was with optus back before digital... still have the same last 6 digits... i had 4 phones on their business plan, and always thought they were looking after me so to speak, never had any issues with reception or customer service but only 12- 18 months ago I heard about amaysim, who use the optus network, and their deals were so much cheaper, so i rang optus and asked if they would match amaysim's prices, they said no, and the rest is history. saving approx 50% each month.

I still have one of optus's fusion modems with an amaysim sim in it haha

Optus MMS on AOKP

From what I understand, Optus uses WAP 2.0 as the protocol for MMS. This option isn't available in AOKP builds, only IPv4 and IPv6. Which is why it works over WiFi, I guess...

Not sure if there is any way to get around this.

It's a shame...
[HTC Incredible S] Burtrum57:
There is a way around it that seems to be working for me. Setting it up is the hardest part and that is just removing 1 of the items in mms APN settings. I briefly outlined it the Unofficial CM10 thread. If anyone is interested I can do it all here. I'll try to be a bit more comprehensive here.

This is not my work solely , but a combination of numerous others trying all sorts of things and me doing bits and pieces from them all till I found what works for me.

[HTC Incredible S] Burtrum57:
Sorry for this being a bit long winded. And if all else fails go back to step one and reload the default APN's!!

Here is a brief description of how I am now able to receive MMS messages on Unofficial CM10 with Optus AU as the provider or carrier. This is not my work but derived from reading a lot of different posts with various ideas and things tried.

First I went into CM10 settings and restored all APN's to default. When this was completed I deleted all the APN's except the 3 Optus (Optus Internet, Optus Yesinternet and Optus MMS). Optus MMS will be the only one with no select button alongside it.

I then open up the Optus MMS APN and one of the last settings is 'APN Type'. I removed the 'mms' from this line and left it blank. You now save and back out from here. Then you look at the APN's there should now be a select button alongside all of them.

I then open up a message and go to the settings and under 'Multimedia (MMS) Messages' I have de-selected 'Auto-Retrieve'.

That is the only 'Settings' that you need to change. Now it is only a little inconvenience when you use the phone. No matter which APN you select the Phone and SMS will operate normally.

When I get a MMS I then go into the APN select screen, select 'OptusMMS' back out, activate 'Flight Mode', wait a short time, then de-activate 'FlightMode'. When I see the 3G/H/E symbols turn up I then open the MMS message and hit 'Download'. Your picture should be downloaded shortly.

Similar applies when I want to use data. go into the APN select screen, select 'Optus Yesinternet' back out, activate 'Flight Mode', wait a short time, then de-activate 'FlightMode'. When I see the 3G/H/E symbols turn up all is good to go.

Using 'Optus MMS' even though you see the 3G/H/E symbols on your signal strength you can not access data, internet etc. And similar using 'Optus Yesinternet' you can not download Multimedia files.

You now need to decide what is more important. Do you spend more time using data and only get the occasional MMS or do you send and receive a lot of MMS and only use occasional data? If Data the leave the phone using 'Yesinternet' or 'internet' as your APN. If MMS then leave the phone using 'MMS as your APN.

I'm not sure what the difference between 'Yesinternet' and 'interent' is.

They both appear to have the same settings!!
[HTC Incredible S] Drugzy:
Has anyone tried optus mms on szesos ROM?
[HTC Incredible S] LamboBull:
Nup. Optus MMS will not work on any AOKP rom because of the problems stated above. You could try the fix on above post. Please tell us the end result. :good:
[HTC Incredible S] Burtrum57:
Can anyone tell me if they've had the same success as me using this method to get mms messages?
[HTC Incredible S] james1196:
Optus have decent signal and plans. They are also linked with TPG which is great for a cheap deal. BUT all the other providers are dominating in signal and quality. I also remember being really annoyed with the huge delay of the Official ICS update for our beloved Incredible s. They also have terrible call centres. But its all stuff that can be put up with.

---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:12 PM ----------

When you said two selected leaving the optus MMS with no select button. How do you select more than one it won't let me.
[HTC Incredible S] Burtrum57:
No. You can only select one. But with the default settings you can't select mms. You have km remove the Type setting
[HTC Incredible S] LamboBull:
What have you got against the call centers? You do realise that telstra etc. Have the same call centers..

Hi guys

Today i want to talk about free proxies without root

Some for nearly entire network data and some for only browsing

Uc browser:

U should find the 7.2.2 version

1.install the app

2.use it!

Yepp that easy

It uses some compressing methods for sites that bypasses filtering

Remember that it is not safe to replace a vpn or socks system but we will get to that too!for me only this version works and it reduces the quality of the website but still usefull

Opera mini

1.download the latest version

2.open it

3.oh noooo!:( the red installation bar is stock?

Well that's no problem.go to your settings>wifi then hold on your wifi network then in the opened pop up select config or modify then give a manual proxy.you dont need to buy it,you can use orbot's proxy or free ones.they will do just good

4.open the app again

5.the red bar will complete and without need to the proxy you have a browser that can pass filtering

Orbot

You will need to find version 1.4.0.1

1.install the app

2.you can either use it with firefox or if you configure it as main proxy for the network you are using you can have fun with youtube apps and chrome but play store needs more advanced ways.if you want to use it with firefox you will need a simple plug-in named:network preferences add-on

After getting it with your fire fox open it and do the following steps:

2.1.in the first field type 1

2.2.in the second field(http...) type 127.0.0.1

2.3.in the 3rd one set the port for 8118

2.4.dont forget to enable this add-on

2.5.it will require restarting your firefox

2.6.your firefox is ready to fire :D

Plz note that orbot is very safe at least for now and you can trust it as a replacement for any paid or free proxy

If you want to set this app as the main proxy so that you can enjoy chrome and stock browser with proxy or use any other restricted app like youtube go to settings>wifi and hold your finger on your current network:

2.1.select modify network config.

2.2.tick show advanced options

2.3.set proxy settings for manual

2.4.type 127.0.0.1 as host name and 8118 as port

2.5.select ok and enjoy :D

What?it is not working???!!!yes becaus you have to first open orbot and then tap the button so it will connect.then both your firefox and wifi configured apps based on your method of usage will work.im currently using this so if anyone had any questions plz dont feel shy to ask

Oh, sorry. The power toggle only has reboot options, as it should. What you want is the 15 toggle mod. It will have a data toggle and it replaces the toggles on the pull down menu.

Novena rom has that toggle. It is a stock ICS rom without at&t bloat.

Why not just download a screen widget .. Done
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DroidXcon:

LOL The problem is the folks who work at verizon don't know how to operate the non-stock OS....

I had them tell me the same thing when I activated so I told him give me a minute, Booted to recovery and restored my backup of stock I keep on every unit and then handed it back to him.....

You need to connect the unit to a computer via USB and use ADB and fastboot to flash back to stock if Im not mistaken.

It's an image file that is available on Moto's support site (or was maybe it's gone now that Google bought them)

Connect the unit, Launch ADB then use the fastboot command and enter the IMG filename in the parameters.

Re: [ROM][4.2 JB MR1] Team EOS 4 *JELLYBEAN MR1* Nightlies - Stingray / MZ602 / VZW 4

So, overall I have mixed feelings about 4.2 so far...

But here are a few oddities I am experiencing.

The biggest issue is my keyboard closes and reappears while I am typing and is extremely difficult to use.

The other is that compared to 150 169's animations seem a bit laggy. I would guess probably development maturity but thought I would throw it out there.

It's making me lean back towards 150.

Or maybe I am missing something.

I have loaded "thumbkeyboard" on every device I have owned and couldn't be happier with it. I don't experience any issues with it. Whatsoever.

Everything works flawlessly... my biggest issue seems to be the general laggyness coming from 150... did a complete wipe to rule out the previous os, but it didn't make any difference. Anyone have any suggestions? I did turn off all animations under developer options.
[Xoom Android Development] billblack:
I agree with the speed concerns. For the first time I loaded a non EOS ROM on my Stingray. I tried CM10.1 and it has the same speed issues. I am to the point I just think that the old Xoom can't handle 4.2 AND be quick. I am seriously debating rolling back to 4.1 or even 4.0.

The performance tweaks that were listed did the trick on the performance. Is there any way to make them the default settings for the rom or is that not possible?

I suppose it doesn't matter to anyone who has flashed this already as they now have a clear upgrade path without cache wipes but it might be good to do for new users.

Great Job on this BTW...I'm loving the new improved JB.

Sorry guys I wasn't suggesting I would switch to wingray version only that I would not get any of the 4G benefits or could test them anymore...

Only way I would run the Wingray is if a newer version came out that BRD couldn't get 4G working (yeah right like that could happen! LOL) And since I'm wouldn't have 4G service anyway it wouldn't matter all that much but I have no intention of crippling the device via the software.

Just via the Checkbook! LOL

Sorry! I think my comment caused all the confusion. Didn't mean to imply that you were going to do that. I was wondering if it would help the battery situation. I have seen others flash wingray on a stingray and said it worked fine but of course didnt have access to the data plan once they did so I was just wondering but brd gave me that answer. I am close to the end of my plan too and probably wont renew either.might open it up and pjll the 4g radio card at that point.
