OK guys so I've been working in wireless back to the Airiel days. Then voice stream.

I've seen plans come and go. I've seen companies come and go.

I've seen limited data. Unlimited data, and limited data again.

This thread is to post your experience with plans on the nexus 4 to give people the information on what's out there.

Now as a wireless consultant which this is what I do.

I rate and create projects for customer feedback.

Go smart was my last job.

One word..... Sucks!!!

Now if you want to pay $35 for your iPhone on edge its a great deal.

Beyond that its a crappy deal.

I've personally used. Straight Talk... Ehhh OK.

Simple mobile ..... False advertising.

Net 10..... Data issues galore.

Att unlimited prepaid..... With imei hack... Still throttled to 500kbps...

Then we come to TMobile prepaid plan.

Out of everything prepaid I've used.

And this includes Solavei. Don't get me started on mlm wannabes.

The T-Mobile $70 plan directly through T-Mobile is the best plan hands down.

And for the solavei person who will say but ours is unlimited.... I did your consulting affiliate... Its only 4GB of data. And they are having massive billing issues, and not to mention losing people in there customer base.

I give them six months before imploding.

Did you know they are amassing a massive roaming bill.

Back on track.

I get true unlimited data. Everywhere in the u.s.

The new unlimited plan "includes roaming"

I have used 25GB of data this month see screen shots.

If you are a smart wireless consumer for your nexus.

Get this $70 plan and then here is how you save.

Find someone on eBay there are hundreds folks.

Selling $100 prepaid card credits for $69.99

Or even $50 cards for $40

Its all over eBay.

Right now im on the $70 plan and I pay about $45 a month average because of where I buy the refill cards.

So if you have a nexus 4.

This is the best plan on prepaid for power users.

I've achieved speeds over 30mbps and average 25mbps

That's better than Verizon lte and AT&T LTE postpaid plans.

This very well could be the best plan in wireless post paid or prepaid in wireless.

Tell me what you think.

And your experiences with other companies on the nexus 4.

There is a cheaper business plan.

$54.99 total cost I'm looking at but its post paid.

On the Dev side. I'm looking to try to improve the radio issue.

Using a optimus g hack.

Stay tuned

Screen shots attached.

Oh one last thing.

$7.00 a month insures your nexus 4 on prepaid.

No other mvno does that.

Sounds awfully like an advertisement. Try to be less biased from the start and condense your information.

[Nexus 4 General] ryan stewart:
Sounds like it. And I looked at the T-mobile option and most aren't going for any measurable discount. As for comparing them to straight talk. Im on T-mobile directly, my girlfriend is on ST. Both of us on Nexus 4s. Our service and speeds are identical (and I can attest to LTE speeds on T-Mobiles network). Straight talk is nothing more than a virtual operator that either uses AT&T or T-Mobile's network.
[Nexus 4 General] mark8503:
There's just one problem with you post, T-Mobile's coverage sucks balls. Yeah its cool to get 20Mbps but if your not getting that you're usually on edge, which is at least half the time. I'll stick with straight talk att.

Source: I had T-Mobile before straight talk.
[Nexus 4 General] crachel:
There's already a T-Mobile discussion thread.

The intricacies of cell phone plans aren't really specific to the Nexus 4, anyway.

I have been using Joker Rom without fail until recently when suddenly upon installing GTA3 and checking email my phone just lost its 4g bar. The bars went from blue to white.

Reboots do nothing.

Stock rom is in the same mess.

4.1 moto camera :P
[RAZR i Themes and Apps] DMTwo:
Hello dinomovil11!

I've finally updated my RAZR i to the Jelly Bean, 4.1.2, after weeks waiting for the OTA update.

As no one answered your post with the Jelly Bean Moto Camera, I've decided to do it.

The new things in the Camera app are:

1 - Panoramic photos;

2 - New way to open the camera by holding the camera button when the screen is off and by one press when the screen is on.

Unfortunatelly the front camera only record videos in VGA resolution (640x480), the RAZR M app allow us to record videos in DVD resolution (720x480).:(

The Jelly Bean system is really nice, If you don't mind of losing the FM radio and some stock app such as desk station in main menu, you should update.

Best regars,

DMTwo

Over engineering. Pull down the notifications bar, pull down the Quickly bar, then select app. I can find it in my app drawer faster than that with just one click and no swipes ;) But to each his own!

OAN: Did anybody check out Vire launcher they documented on xda homepage? It's pretty sweet, but I'm so used to LauncherPro+ that I can't switch to it.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] Chad The Pathfinder:
I like it ok but I tend to stick with sense, holo and go.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] BigSplit:
I think the idea is its supposed to be a solution for accessing app's while in other apps, eg. multi-tasking without going back to the home screen first and then app drawer(which is a minimum of two clicks and possible a swipe or two).

With that said, I think that pie launcher, lmt or something, is a much better solution.
[EVO Shift 4G Themes and Apps] klund29078:
Ahhh kind of like a long home press, except you can specify the apps instead of using recent apps. I'm not that big of a multitasker but that's not a bad idea
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ogcuddles:
As the title suggests, I was wondering if the use of widgets on the homescreen greatly reduces your battery life? I'm sure it's a very naive question, but my real concern is if that drain is INCONSEQUENTIAL? Is it really worth it to make a more streamlined homescreen, bereft of any ease-of-access apps?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] poit:
It's not the Widget as much as how much data does the widget use, especially if you aren't using WiFi. (3G/4G data is a battery killer) For instance if you have a weather widget or a facebook or twitter widget that updates every 15 minutes, that's going to be a major battery killer. If they only update when you turn on the screen then the battery usage is much lower.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
^^^^ this... it all depends on the widget... if it's a data using widget, yes, it can eat through your battery faster than a seafood lover eating lobster, if it's a music widget for a music player, not so much
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] en11gma:
shut off all widgets = battery saver

turn on all widgets = battery drainer

Hi, does anybody else experience reboots when using whatsapp? I accasionaly have one. Had them on elegancia and on viper rom with both faux and pyd.
[HTC Sensation] gobelowski:
I've them, too. "Normally" the Phone just reboots, but yesterday my Phone chrashed so hard that I couldn't reboot anymore and it hanged up during the "HTC SENSATION" screen while booting. I'm using the ViperS Rom, too.
[HTC Sensation] ashkan-khatar:
No problems here so far

Spit out from an HTC Sensation XE, a revived device while was dying due to lack of support, with TeamVenom, and other astonishingly amazing developers' benignity...
[HTC Sensation] KiD3991:
Did you guys OC? Or Undervolted too much? I had one on my old Galaxy W when this happened, my Senny now never had one because I only UC not OC.

Or... You guys set the minfree either too high or too low.
[HTC Sensation] gobelowski:
No, I've actually always the default settings chosen by ViperS installation process. Even the standard kernel I've always used. For me, the problem with Whatsapp pulls like a red thread through my experience with ViperS. I've always had a problem and actually almost exclusively with Whatsapp. In games or other programs it never came up to such problems than the "normal" closing the program.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] porcusor:
If you're having trouble finding the spen button with your finger when doing some gestures, this might help:

1. Take a kitchen knife or a similar tool

2. Heat it for 15 seconds with a lighter in one spot.

3. While hot, touch the spen's button very lightly for a very short period of time ~ 100 milliseconds.

4. Repeat step 3. from left to right for the entire length of the button.

Experiment with very light touch for a very short time on the first attempt. Calibrate your touches after that. It's really simple, it takes only a few seconds.

Don't go too deep or you'll weld the button to the pen!!

See the attached screenshot. I went too deep on the first cut but I adjusted my hand for the rest.

excuse me if I sounded too harsh, wasn't my intention. Nevertheless it's a great device even with this "fault". Good that they fixed it with note 2..

No problem!

Yes, I agree that the Note still is a great device despite its quality flaws... I don't have plans on upgrading to the Note 2... I'll better wait and see what the Note 3 will bring.

Thanks for the tip :good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rcheung28:
It's a great idea! But I just wished it was less permanent.

What I do is take a piece of sandpaper, cut it into a shape of the button, and use double sided tape to attach it onto the spen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] porcusor:
Yeah, thought of that, but you wouldn't be able to put the pen back into its slot. Besides, it's old enough that I stopped caring about looks. Note III is coming :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Rivan_92:
well, does it really make it easier to find the button compared to a stock one?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] porcusor:
for me it definitely does. I am now holding the pen in one position (I couldn't do that before) and I don't accidentally rotate it. working with the phone is much easier now with the spen. my finger is always on the button.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluemax65:
Hi, I hope this is the right place for this cry for help. I have a Asus Nexus 7 (32GB), a belated Xmas present, and I absolutely love it.

I have been doing a fair amount of reading and gentle experimenting on the thing, as well as unlocking and rooting it (have a bit of Linux experience so I thought I'd risk it).

I have been trying to figure out if it is possible to add a app to the pull down control/settings panel on the right hand side of the screen, specifically the volume control app.

If it is possible, could someone please point me in the right direction. Also if it is possible, is it also possible to change the size of the icons in that panel and to add an extra row of apps to it.

Hi,

I hope someone can help me. I installed the 4.1 jellybam on my LG optimus 3D, but the simcard is not recognized and I cannot select any mobile operators as I get an error. When I check info about this device, I see that smalbaseband version is unknown. Can someone help me out please?

Thanks in advance
[LG Optimus 3D] ikosanovic:
On which baseband are you?

You also must flash bernies files in order to have mobile network
[LG Optimus 3D] mandylmn:
Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I am in Europe (Netherlands) if that helps. I will check for the bernies files. Never heard of them
[LG Optimus 3D] ikosanovic:
Bernies files are reason why you dont have signal.

Also you must be aware that you will have probably have issues with apps like youtube skype torch and etc.(each time after opening those apps your phone will probably froze )

If you want to solve that you must flash new bootloader.

You can find all in development section but if you are not shure what are you doing,dont do it or you can brick your phone.

I hope i helped you a little

So my upgrade is in a couple weeks. So I'm debating between this phone, Samsung galaxy s3, or the Samsung galaxy note 2. What are your opinions on droid dna
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Imo, unless you absolutely need to have a battery that can last a whole weekend get the dna. If you do need that kind of battery life then get the note
[HTC Droid DNA] jerrickdamon:
This phone is kick ass. Battery life is great. If you're in an area where you're not going to be using the internet for a bit then I would suggest turning your data connection off. You will still be able to get texts but you can't browse. The Note II is too damn big and the S3 has a lot of signal issues from what my friends, who have the device, tell me.
[HTC Droid DNA] famous145:
Okay thanks for you opinions. I been stuck with the lg revolution since I got it when it came out. Worst mistake on picking a phone ever
[HTC Droid DNA] Mooselips:
Samsung quality and looks are nowhere near HTC. I had Galaxy SIII (and original Note), DNA is so much classier, looks better, feels better, perfoms better, has bigger screen, but doesn't feel bigger at all. Note 2 is a separate issue. It has some nice features over DNA, but still, it's Samsung, it's cheap. Also, like it was already mentioned, Samsung phones are full of bugs, and there radios are not good. Signal is weaker, problems with Wi-Fi..... And did I mention,that damn sleek cheap plastic! You think I formed an opinion about it yet? :D
[HTC Droid DNA] strip419:
...and they sell more....I don't know y people can't leave Samsung alone.....like it or not, they have gone places HTC has not with all the "build quality" and "good radios" Samsung has made android Wat it is today....its just like how fandroids criticise iPhone yet it sells big tym....XDA membership is around 5million....the other 800million guys out there don't give a duck about better radio, build quality......dude if u can afford to wait, then get the SGS4....like it or not it will be better than any thing HTC can make in a billion ways....build quality is nothing compare to unrivaled app support,timely updates(S2 has jelly bean,HTC one x is yet to),removable battery(helps if u wanna sell in the future or jst use it for long),sdcard , powerful CPU performance. And lots of added functionality......I own the DNA, its good but noting compare to the note 2 in many ways....if only size ain't a problem....for the s3 thats another thing since its almost a gen behind now
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Just because samsung has a giant advertising budget doesn't make their phones better.
[HTC Droid DNA] famous145:
Well this phone and the note are better then the phone I have right now lol. The s4 is not even announced officially so it might be pushed back for whatever reasons.
[HTC Droid DNA] krazya:
I'm really enjoying my DNA. I debated between the note 2 and gs3 but I've heard and read about their fragile screens. I can't have a phone that will break if I drop it. People knock the lack of sd and removable battery. But drop box gives you 25 gigs of space for 2 yrs, and as far as battery I can easily get through the day with moderate use and the brightness on max. After rooting and running this sweet Viper Rom the phone is smoother then a baby's butt.
[HTC Droid DNA] bakemcbride21:
imo.. but for not being 32gb or having the sd card slot, this is the best phone ever made to date. I manage my company's smartphone contract so I get to play with them all.

amazing build quality looks and feel. top of the line hardware specs..battery life is good... REALLY good/ amazing with the dev kernels available. quality custom Roms.. actually that's insulting.. incredible custom Roms available for this phone.

we're about to go s-off... life is good.
[HTC Droid DNA] famous145:
Can you give me a link for the viper rom so I can check it out
[HTC Droid DNA] bakemcbride21:
and as silly add this sounds.. until somebody beats HTC's weather flip clock widget I'll be a sense die hard!

there's decent ones out there... but to me nothing looks better and it's the one thing you see repeatedly all day every day on your phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] strip419:
Oh so which HTC phone has beaten any Samsung phone hands down one X and s3? no Note2 and DNA? no HTC m7/one and s4? Tym will tell, Buh u and I know its another no

Dropbox? Seriously? oh so Wat happens when u need that file and there is no data connection.....maybe in USA its easy but not every country is blessed with internet connection every where...and u say battery takes u through a day...wait till u get trapped under a building or get lost somewhere...then the note 2 which can go 3 days will tell ya he told you so.(not that I wish for any of dat to happen to u bro....its XDA ;)
[HTC Droid DNA] bakemcbride21:
the note 2 is a creature onto itself. if you want an oversized plastic monstrosity that can perform... have at it.

DNA crushes the S3.. easily

and seriously.. if the file is THAT important the DNA has plenty of storage space.. if your music or other forms of entertainment are mission critical to access trapped under a building or in the middle of nowhere then you need to review your priorities in life.

as for the USA comment.. last time I checked the DNA was made exclusively from Verizon which last time I checked was a corporate entity doing business in America... so honestly the rest of the world can go suck it.. USA! USA! Lol
[HTC Droid DNA] redone0505:
