I did jump ship! and happy about it...

I made the switch to T-mobile from Verizon. T-mobile has excellent coverage here in NC (triangle) where I am. Not to mention my bill is 50 bucks less with unlimited data and 3 phone payments spread across the bill. One thing I am having a problem with is (and a BIG FU to Verizon for this), Verizon told me one of my phones on the plan, the Galaxy S3, was carrier unlocked so when I went to T-mobile I wouldn't need to replace that device. So far that's been BS. The T-mobile sim works for phone coverage but NO data. The device keeps asking for a Verizon sim. I am going to search the galaxy devs forum for a solution, but figured I'd try my luck here first. I wonder if a root and new ROM will cure this? It seems doing a carrier unlock on these devices is a severe pain and haven't found how to do that here on XDA. There are plenty of unlock solutions in the google search results, but I call shenanigans to them and only trust the good folks here with mods to my devices. Any tips... send me a message... Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thank Me Later:
Moto X seems a little disappointing to me. Not because of it's specs or no expandable memory. More towards image quality of the camera from reviews I've seen. It seems like a nice phone but not enough bang for what you pay. After using my Nexus 7 (2013), I am like 90% sure I will be getting a Nexus phone when I upgrade. Switching carries for sure. Most likely T-Mobile, they have good coverage in my area & LTE. But we'll see what's out by then and how the next gen Nexus is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 0xScott:
I just activated a mobile hotspot with T-Mobile with the $30/month unlimited data/text plan. It's month-to-month, so there isn't more than $30 in risk to try it.

I had to Google "T-Mobile $30 plan" to find it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] railshot:
Yeah, they seem to be hiding it pretty well. There are apparently a number of threads on these forums on how to get is lol. Thanks for the information.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wrngway:
I have another year. I've been considering net10 or straight talk on AT&T's network. They have data limits but the price is reasonable. With the right phone I could get service from international carrier's as well. Coverage should be the next best thing to verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidxroothelp:
im thinking of it with verizons bull**** but idk verizon is still the best
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thank Me Later:
Verizon has awesome coverage in the state I live. I love it. Their customer service has always been good to me also. I have 4GB of data. Got it on a special deal when they offered 4GB of data for the price of $30. Before the Share Everything Plans came a long. I feel like it's teasing me. I go on youtube a lot, imagine if I streamed music, it's not very hard to go over 1 GB w/LTE speeds lol. I can do it in one day without trying. What's the point of having GREAT LTE speeds when I'm always forced to use Wi-Fi to avoid going over my cap? They want us to go over to charge us more. I feel bad for people who only have 2GB of data. With all that said & done plus locking boot loaders, consistent Wi-Fi notification instead of a toggle, and basically turning what they can into a "Verizon" phone is enough for me. When my contract is up, I'm gone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
If Verizon does not carry the next Nexus device I will seriously be considering T-MO. I am just not interested in non-Nexus devices anymore. With AOSP Roms not working 100% on these newer devices and manufacturers not supporting their devices with updates for the life of a contract on a device there is not better way to go then a Nexus.

Even if the newer Nexus does not have the same specs as the latest phones, we are at a point where we do not even need more power in a mobile device to do what we need it to do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thank Me Later:
I highly doubt Verizon will get it. GSM is easier for Google to support since more of the world uses it over CDMA. Google is about open source. Not sure how opened source CDMA carriers code their stuff. On CDMA you gotta wait for the carrier to approve/modify the updates before pushing it to their devices. I believe that's why you see GSM Nexus devices update faster than the CDMA Nexus devices. Officially on stock anyways. Rooting & flashing things yourself is a different story.

I feel you though. I'm ready for a Google phone now. Got over the high end specs thing. My Nexus 7 (2013) tablet has made me fall in love with vanilla Android. It so smooth and pretty to look at lol. I'm itching to get a Nexus 4 but I know I should wait for the next Gen Nexus. Going to leave Verizon for T-Mobile. They have good coverage in my state + Unlimited 4G LTE + Unlimited HSPA+ If bad signal area = Wi-Fi Calling/texting (some phones), this all beats my 4GB cap on Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hehfahq:
Verizon seems to have a good relationship with Motorola. MAYBE IF Moto makes the next Nexus we will have a chance to see it on VZW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thank Me Later:
Nexus devices don't make sense on CDMA carriers in my personal opinion. Because they're not directly supported by Google themselves but more on the carriers part. It would be nice to see but understandable if not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
I just came from a nexus s 4G and unless something was to change, that's the last you will see of a cdma nexus device. They stopped supporting it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
Was just looking at T-MO plans, wow they are super cheap.

Also, the cool thing with their data plans is you do not pay overages but they just throttle after your limit. So 2.5gig plan would be good for my wife who usually never goes anywhere near that but in case she did she would not be charged more, just throttled till the next month. They also offer a fully unlimited, non throttled data plan for not much more then the 2.5gig which would be perfect for me.

Now just need to see how their service holds up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 95talondsm:
Yeah, I've been thinking about ditching VZW too and just going pure Google on a different network. I've heard good things about T-Mobile.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
I left Verizon 3 months or so ago after being with them for only 6 month. The best ETF I ever paid. The only ETF I ever paid :)

I've more than made back my $300 already, considering I've used over 125gb of LTE on Tmo.

Imagine with the 2GB Verizon Data plan, downloading only 1 ROM would use almost all of it. I had or rather still have the S3, although no longer connected to Verizon.

I was spending an additional $35 a month for Virgin Bb2go for Unlimited 4G Wimax to tether my Verizon S3 to get around paying the extravagant high data costs.

I tried out T-Mobile and got excellent coverage with my S4 for the areas I frequent. The rest is History, as they say :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
I was able to get Verizon to waive my ETF as I was in a fringe area for their coverage. Ordered the Nexus 4 from the Play Store yesterday and going to give T-Mo a shot. I am very excited to get back into a Nexus device. Having a Nexus makes it so much more exciting when Google announces new OS upgrades.

The wife will be getting an HTC One. I must say after seeing one in person the other day for the first time, that phone is one of the nicest Android phones I have seen. The screen is gorgeous and the whole device just has a very sleek look to it. I was impressed. If HTC continues to make devices like that they just might be back on the ballgame.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
[MENTION=517614]eman3316@optonline.net[/MENTION]

Yes, the HTC One looks to be a fine device. The speakers, build, etc.

But it doesn't have a removable battery so that was a deal breaker for me.

I've had the HTC Diamond and Evo 4G, then switched to Samsung starting with the S2. For me unless something else peaks my interest, the S4 is it for now.

Hopefully you'll have good coverage because there's nothing like unlimited 4G LTE!

Real Unlimited, no throttling, and pretty good coverage, including building penetration in my experience.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
With the 16GB Nexus 4 dropping to $249 in the Play Store, this deal just got a whole lot sweeter! Seeing things like this just makes me more excited to jump onto GSM and be able to use these devices.

$249 for a flagship device off contract, this is something you will never see happen on Verizon!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TsukasaX:
I really wish Verizon didn't have the network they do, then it would be easier to jump ship.

Every time I've had to deal with their customer service it has been a nightmare and they are generally unable to replace my phones which have obvious hardware defects.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 95talondsm:
Question:

So I've been with Verizon pretty much ever since I had my first cellphone. My first smartphone was the Droid X and what not. I'm not familiar with the whole GSM Side of cellphone networks. So basically let me put it in a quick Story:

Say I buy the 16 GB Nexus 4 from the play store, All I would have to do is go to a T-Mobile store and purchase a the Sim Card and pick a plan correct? Then just pop the sim into the Nexus 4? And then say the Nexus 5 comes out in November. I can purchase that at full price from google, then just switch the Sim Card to the N5 (assuming that it will be on T-mobile) and sell my N4 or do what I please with it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thank Me Later:
You got it down already. I was thinking the same thing. Should get the Nexus 4 now for the time being and rock the unlimited HSPA+ and T-Mobile network or should I wait for the next gen Nexus? That $100 price drop is SOOOO tempting lol. I hope the next gen Nexus has LTE. Not guarantee the HSPA+ speeds will be great at my house/city I'm around.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 95talondsm:
That's what I thought it was like. All I've known was 3G & 4G LTE. Never seen how the HSPA+ is compared to LTE. I know, that price point is very tempting indeed. I'm on contract with VZW until June next year :/ otherwise I'd say I'm all over that N4. With the N5 being announced this fall, its really Gunna suck being stuck on VZW when I already wanna jump ship and be free at last.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
I paid the $300 ETF to be rid of the Big Red Rip aka Verizon, to move to T-Mobile because of the monthly dollars I'd save, which includes the Unlimited 4G LTE I'll be using, which will add to the

monthly cost savings.

So maybe an early Verizon departure will most likely Save you Big Money ;) The move is saving me at a minimum $60/mo. (including $25 Verizon differential w/4gb + $35 Virgin Bb2go to get Unlimited Wimax) I needed in order to get additional data I couldn't afford with Verizon. So by the 5th month I break even re the $300 ETF, and every month after that is Gravy to the tune of $60/mo minimum savings!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thank Me Later:
How R the speeds for you on T-Mobile? Is HSPA+ good enough to stream Netflix without choppy buffering?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
From what I have heard with a solid connection it is pretty fast. Sometimes even beating out Verizons 4G in certain areas. Way more then enough to stream Netflix.

And if you do not know, if you root your phone and are on T-Mobile, in the Nexus 4 section here they have radio's that actually enable 4G on the Nexus 4. So you can have LTE on the Nexus. It does not work if you are on AT&T though.

My Nexus will be here either tomorrow or Friday so I can report back with some speed tests to compare to Verizon's LTE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
I've achieved the following data speed ranges:

Download - 4-18Mbps

Upload - 3-12Mbps

I don't use Netflix so I can't give you feedback.

I'm always on LTE so I unable to give you an hspa+ data speed range. Once in an rare while the hspa+ icon lights up, but for only a blip.

When I first got my S4, I tested side by side data speeds with my S3 on Verizon.

3 tests -

2 of 3 tests: S4 beat S4

1 test: basically a tie.

The above of course is a limited test, and involved 2 different device models, but was indicative during my trial period that Tmo was formidable re data, etc.. The above tests were in the center of a 35 story Hi rise on the 15th floor.II've always heard GSM does not penetrate concrete, etc. well, but during these tests, this was a non issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
Just did a speed test while connected to T-Mobile 4G LTE:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thank Me Later:
Thanks for the feed back guys :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
We picked up my wife's T-Mo HTC One tonight from the store. She had LTE on and I had LTE on my Verizon S3. Ran a speed test and her phone beat my phone 3 out of 3. I averaged around 13mbs and she averaged 17mbs. Upload speed, Verzion was much better but to me upload speeds are not as important.

Also, a really cool feature is wi-fi calling on a lot of T-Mo phones (not on the N4). It is built into the phone and you can use VOIP and it uses your regular phone number. All the settings are in the phone and it gives you 3 choices, to always use wi-fi calling when connected, only use it when you do not have a signal or never use it. Very neat feature!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
Good to hear.

Enjoy :good:

Btw, if you decide to Root and install custom ROMs on your wife's phone, I9505 Framework based ROMs don't support calling over WiFi capability due to Framework llimitations.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thank Me Later:
LTE is awesome to have. I have it now on Verizon. I may be getting the Nexus 4 so I was more interested to know how well T-Mobile's HSPA+ performed. But I still do appreciate all the feed back.

I'm wrestling with the decision to jump ship early & go with the Nexus 4 & rock unlimited data or to just wait for the next gen Nexus. My gutt is saying to wait, new Nexus will probably be better. But my brain is telling me damn, look at that sweet low price! Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
My N4 shipped from Google today so should have it tomorrow or Friday to test HSPA+.

How can you go wrong for $250! I will just buy the next Nexus when it comes out and even if I sell my N4 for $100-$150 it is still not much of a loss.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thank Me Later:
Let me know how the HSPA+ speeds are for you. How much did your Nexus 4 come out to w/tax + shipping and everything?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
So I just got my phone and ran a couple of quick speed tests....Right now I have no bars to one bar of service on my N4 and it has been averaging between 2,000 - 3,500kbs. My Verizon S3 has 4 bars where I am right now and on LTE I am averaging 10,000kbs.

Will post back some more results when I have more bars on the N4 but that speed with low service is nothing to cry about...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] milehighh:
HSPA+ on my T-MO Galaxy S3 non-lte version. Colo. Springs, CO.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thank Me Later:
Nice. That's my speeds when I'm connected to my home Wi-Fi. Your upload speed is better though. I guess I could rock with HSPA+ for a bit until the new Nexus comes out.

I have to do an application to connect a handheld (with an embebed MC45 siemens module and Pocket PC 2003 , Xscale processor) to a server. I´m planning to use PPP. As I do not have already this handheld, I´m using a XDAII to start the developments.

The data call use some private GSM infrastructure, with a RAS (suporting V110) on the remote site ( RAS connected to a server)

I have a lot of questions. First, is it possible to do this development in a XDAII ? ( my question is if we know all the APIs and DLL needs for a PPP data call using V.110, if these API are publics ). For example, how to dial or to anwser a call, how to use PPP under a GSM call ..

Other question. The MC45 siemens module uses standart AT commands. I have read that this is not possible with a XDAII. Will be compatible my code writen for the XDAII with the handheld using the MC45 module?

Google Glass is coming and the potential is exciting. I happened to run into one pic on facebook and it got me thinking that GG is supposed to free your hands so why should we still use a cloth to clean it?

I thought about this today.

personally I am an IT worker so I normally get a lot of friends \ family asking me to fix stuff for them.

With Android however & this forum - its taken it to a new high.

Because of this great place I have learnt a ton and also helped out a lot of people with phones and tabs.

SGS i9000, GT-P1000, SGS 2, Droid Razr, Motorola Xooms, SGS3, Acer tabs... just to name a few.

In fact these days when I am asked about phones, I don't recommend them unless this forum and its members are behind it.

I found it also helps to make devices easier to use, case in point my father can work a droid phone or tab no prob's, but he'd throw an ipad\phone before working it out.

So on behalf of all those I have helped and have no idea about it all and from myself.
