I dont understand how you did it? I did not see gs4 for family mobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pilot_xphile:
They don't have it online. I just happened to see it advertised at one of my local stores. They didn't have any in stock, but they checked in their system and told me which store to go to. I guess you can call and see if they have it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Trueglich:
I have s4 on $30 plan. This is what i had to do.

1. Order sim kit for prepaid.tmoble.com

2. Order phone with Post paid plan on regular site and pay for phone outright

3. When phone arrived called and cancel post paid plan (This was tad annoying took them a few tried to get me to right person) (No charges)

4. put prepaid sim from in phone and do activation on website

I did end up getting a hit on credit report from inquire I did't want but i am up and working for the last month.

Edit just for ref. i did get the 629+tax price this way most of the stores around here want 699.99 + tax for it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RobertR3750:
pilot xphile's method sounds the best. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrccomputer:
Yes. I agree and my local walmart has it in stock. So just return the starter kit?? I called all the tmobile stores and ask how much for the device only they said $700. I called walmart asked if the they had the gs4 for family mobile the nice lady said let me check she came back and said we do. Ask how much she said $629!!!!!! :eek: thank god for walmart.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr Ian B:
my $30 prepaid sim card I let it lapse and did not put money on 4-25 since I got the phone at Tmobile with the post paid plan. Can it put it back on the phone, add $30.00 and be up and running or do I new sim card? I will need to have my number ported back from the post paid plan to the prepaid sim card plan.

Tia,

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gsuh54:
I was able to buy my m919 from a tmobile store without a plan. I think it might depend on who you talk with, so it won't hurt to go ask your local tmobile store.

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 PM ----------

Just go to the tmobile store and ask for a micro sim. They should do it for free.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] samnada:
Walked in to my local TMO store today and the lady said I could buy the S4 outright for the same price as buying it from TMO online, and keep my prepaid $30/mo plan. Only kicker is I have to pay the total phone price upfront. The $20 for 24 month deal is only available with a new plan of $50/mo or more. Sounds like the deal changes depending on who you talk to at which store. She also said I'd get a new micro sim.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RobertR3750:
Don’t you just love a consistent company policy that you can rely on??

MIGHT?? :eek::confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr Ian B:
Piece of cake switching from postpaid to $30 prepaid pla.

Got SIM card kit from Target.

Activated SIM card online, $30 plan selected, did not port number and paid $30 for refill.

Called tmobile and got prepaid dept. they ported my phone and cancelled postpaid account.

Porting took 2 mins and got text message port completed, tested my GS4 and ported number rang on it.

Transferred back to postpaid plan dept and confirmed my bill will be balance left on phone $206 plus prorated bill for this month.

All in all, took 15 minutes w no issues or surprises.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RobertR3750:
Where did you buy the phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrccomputer:
Did you buy the phone online at tmobile?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr Ian B:
I bought at the store and paid $450 towards the phone, got the $50 postpaid plan and the rest of phone balance was supposed to be split into my monthly bill. I was going to pay the phone off before end of billing cycle on 6/7/13.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] samnada:
Just got back from local TMO store with my G S4. Got it for the standard $629+tax and kept my existing $30/mo prepaid plan. The only slight issue they had is it required a $50 activation to get the $629 price, but they just applied the $50 to my existing prepaid account, so I'm paid up a month and a half ahead. So, at least in my location no problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RobertR3750:
What city are you in?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] samnada:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RobertR3750:
Thanks, hope I have luck doing the same thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RobertR3750:
Well, I just made an inquiry at my local Walmart, and they said I'd need a contract to buy the phone. 0 for 1 so far...:(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheDreamFactory:
I can't speak for different states and different experiences but I'm in Indy and I was able to walk into local T-Mobile store and purchase a S4 paying the full price without being required to purchase a separate monthly service.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] samnada:
Don't give up. If you find a motivated sales person who's just a little on the ball they can get it done without requiring a contract. Try a TMO store if there's one in your area. Walmart help can be very spotty.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] abcdefg1234567:
I went into corporate store already on a existing prepaid 70 monthly, I had just paid my bill few days before, I got the phone outright for cash "But" they require you to pay another bill upfront to get the device, you can just pay a 2nd bill or bill if it's due and thats sufficient enough to get it on the outright price.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] getsum:
I went to the T-Moabiale store here in Champaign IL. I was on a $50 per month prepaid, had my own phone but was lusting for the S4. They ran a credit chec which I passed. I paid $150 down plus sales tax on the entire amount of $630 plus $10 for a sim card with $20 added to my bill for the next 24 months. No contact on the plan, just for the pruchase of the phone. My number was ported to the S 4 the next day. Love the phone and they make it more affordable this way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] shaqqq:
Do y'all think the 60$ a month plan will work good with the 2.5gb internet? Will it be fast?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mxmarcus:
The closest t-mobile store is 2 hours away from me. I called telesales but no the won't sell to me. So i checked ebay and order the M919. I should get the phone in few days
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] FLASHnox:
So what i'm getting from this thread I can simply walk into tmobile, do the $99 down $20 24months with $50 a month plan, drop the $50 plan and switch over to the $30 prepaid plan? Can I order the micro sim through tmobile and which one is it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RobertR3750:
Ok, so after exploring and reading the various options, I wound up getting the phone on Ebay. Saved about 80 bucks compared to buying it from Tmobile. Everything is working well (love the 4G LTE speed), except I received a message saying my old sim card won't allow wifi calling. That should be easily fixable, as I can get a new sim card for free.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] White Boa:
mind sharing the auction with me? I'm still a little hessitant. thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RobertR3750:
The Buy it Now price was $600. No tax, free shipping, new, sealed, 14 day return. Unfortunately, there are no more phones available from that particular seller at this time, but I'm sure if you do an Ebay search, you'll find something similar.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jerzyboy2421:
purchased outright in NJ

I purchased my S4 outright in NJ last week. In a mall, at a T-Mobile kiosk. The salesman gave me no hassle. As a matter of fact, he was quite helpful. I paid $629.99 and bought a prepaid plan for the month with unlimited 4G. As soon as I got home, I SIM unlocked. Haven't been able to verify with another carrier's SIM yet. Loving the S4, but the "my T-Mobile" app keeps telling me that I'm on an invalid plan. No matter. No contracts, unlimited 4G and tethering. SIM unlocked. very happy.:silly:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mnazary:
Don't forget you will have to pay the phone off in full if you drop the plan.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aimfire72:
Tried this at a store by me, they wouldn't let me do it unless I got the $50 plan. Just gonna buy it outright.

---------- Post added at 06:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 AM ----------

Yeah, no kidding. I thought their whole thing now is "no contracts!"? I mean, you're buying the phone to use on their network, isn't that what they're supposed to be all about? I'm going down today, gonna try to get one full price.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aimfire72:
Tried to buy one today, full price. Two stores would not sell to me for $579 price, they wanted $649. They were pretty rude about it too. So I went over to AT&T and got it for $639. Basically same phone and just as easily unlockable. Kind of amazed that T-Mobile would let me walk out the door like that. :rolleyes:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kelbear:
No dice in Morris Plains NJ

Tried a T-mobile store near my house. They wouldn't let me buy the phone at $580 without activating a post-paid plan. I'll try Walmart and maybe a mall kiosk today and see how that goes.
[General Questions and Answers] gurtejgps:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S duos (GT-S7562 Android 4.0.4 Touchwiz)

It is very unresponsive and slow at times, but that isn't the problem, that's what you expect hen SIII's UI is pasted upon a 1Ghz processor.

Some days back I installed Google Hangout apk (3rd party) which replaced my system talk application.

After the this a lot of apps are crashing in the background and while they crash the phone becomes unresponsive, this is draining the battery life too :rolleyes::rolleyes:. Not just system apps, but all kinds of background services are crashing with messages like 'messages has stopped responding', 'maps has stopped responding' coming all over the screen after some time.

I replaced the new hangouts app with older talk apk too, just too see if it works. All in wain.

I don't see any other option than rooting and installing a custom ROM, but that's risky. Can anyone just identify what problem my phone might be having. If you want any other details I am open.

[LG Optimus G Pro] Yoreo:
As stated in that post of mine, I was indoors the entirety of the day. Being that I was home, I was on wifi which uses less power. In addition to that, I had the brightness turned down to around 25%-%30 since I was in a dimly lit room.

I more or less was in an optimal environment to get the most screen time possible. When I'm out and about, I average around 3.5-4.4 hours of screen time.

Covers IR port I see
[One (M7) Accessories] ChrisM0678:
Yeah unfortunately it is covered on the Active case. Not that what I'm about to say justifies that but by the look of it, it appears to be extremely easy to cut a hole through and regain the functionally if you really liked the case.
[One (M7) Accessories] brent372:
I have used Seidio Active cases and holsters on my Droid Incredible, My Atrix 4G, My Rezound and my wife's Incredible 4G. I actually had my case for the One before I had the phone.

I love these cases. Seidio customer service is also top-notch. The spring clips in the holsters can break, but never have had a problem getting a free replacement within the 1 year warranty.

Now, regarding the IR port.

I was thinking of doing this:

Hard freezing the rubber part of the case so it is easier to cut and less likely to snag.

Using an Xacto knife cutting out the spot for the power button / IR blaster

I would continue cut down around the back of the device, similar to how the hedphone jack is.

OR

Cutting exactly the power button out with no extra.

Put the piece I cut out on a flat surface and push a blob of silly putty onto it.

Remove the cut out part, leaving a mold in the silly putty.

Pour some clear liquid silicon into the "mold" and allow to dry.

The next part I have yet to figure out, but somehow replace the clear hardened silicon back over the power button and hopefully the IR blaster will work.

Thoughts?

Have you had any issues with the compass/GPS while using the Active with kickstands?
[One (M7) Accessories] brent372:
I have not seen any problems with the compass or navigational apps at all
[One (M7) Accessories] Belkiolle:

[One (M7) Accessories] Liskrig:
Thank you SO much for the detailed pics of the red case, with Black HTC One. I have been looking for photos of that combination since June! This case looks amazing too!

I had the Seidio Active case for my G-Nex (extended battery) and it was an amazing case.

My only question is on the material of the insert of the Active; the case for my G-Nex felt "oily" compared to just a plain silicone case. I was wondering if it was the same case with the Active for the One?

Thanks again!
[One (M7) Accessories] Diablo_692:
Belkiolle,

That may have been my Amazon review that you read, and yes, the magnetic kickstand on the Seidio Active case definitely affected the compass readings on my HTC One. If you have an app like "GPS Essentials", you can verify this be observing the compass needle. The needle was locked pointing West with the kickstand closed. Open the kickstand and the needle would move a bit, but still not be accurate. Remove the hard exoskelton containing the kickstand, and the compass was accurate again. It's a shame, as I do like the kickstand feature on the case, but I desire accurate compass readings and navigation more.
[One (M7) Accessories] brent372:
Here is my Seidio case mod to allow for use of the IR blaster.

Still no problems using the power button.

I may clean up the edges a little more.

Sorry for the crappy pic.
[One (M7) Accessories] rdub504:
Im currently using the platinum version of the surface case,which is basically the same case made by Seidio for bestbuy.it also has the magnetic kickstand,and i see no issues what so ever with gps or compass readings.

Update: I just tried the app you mentioned,and I do see the issues you mentioned.strange thing is when I tried another app smart compass the problem does not appear to persist? Why might that be?
[One (M7) Accessories] Diablo_692:
I also tried an app called "Smart Tools" and it has a Compass which was also affected by the magnetic kickstand. I've also seen issues with navigation in Google Maps, and also the compass being incorrect when viewing my position in Google Maps w/o using navigation at all. I'm not sure why some apps don't seem to be affected.

Update: Weird, it seems that "Smart Compass" is the same compass that is part of the "Smart Tools" package. Now I'm really puzzled. :confused:
[One (M7) Accessories] rdub504:
Sucks because I really like the case,but I do want the GPS functioning properly? There has to be a way to mod it?
[One (M7) Accessories] irie27:
I'm having the same issue. I had the same case for my Thunderbolt and loved it. I can't believe that Seidio wouldn't test the case to make sure all the electronics work. I never had an issue with the plastic "snap" of the Thunderbolt case, I wish Seidio would've used the same thing for the one. Has anyone contacted Seidio about the issue?

[One (M7) Accessories] rossvtaylor:
Compass and GPS

I just got the surface case, or at least the Platinum Best Buy-branded version of it (I think - it looks identical) and was reading here about the compass and GPS. I wouldn't expect that any magnet would affect GPS, as it's determining the location based on satellite signals and timing. No expert here, but that's my understanding. I've owned Garmin GPS units with and without compasses, so I guess they're independent.

I tried the GPS with Google Maps and, with the case on, I had no problem or issues with direction or location. The case doesn't seem to affect this at all.

I tried using GPS Toolbox, which I've used before on other devices and when I installed it the compass indicated proper direction. I should note that I installed GPS Toolbox while the case was installed. But, when I took the case off, I noticed that the compass was pointing 180 degrees off until I recalibrated with the case off. I put the case back on and was now reversed again, until I recalibrated the compass with the case on. If I flick open the stand, the compass reversed again. With the case on, the stand closed, and the compass recalibrated in this configuration it appears that the compass is pointing correctly. I'd never rely on the internal compass for anything critical, like solar array setup or artillery, but it seems to be working within it's regular limits of accuracy with the case on. So, as long as I keep the stand closed, the compass is fine on mine.
[One (M7) Accessories] Baby_Harris:

Cause it isn't super stable with it being a nightly, unfortunately. They're making lots of changes to things every once in a while, and 3.4 kernel has caused issues for SOME users.

Hi there,

Can someone explain if there is any real difference between the Blue Angel versions? i-mate PDA2K, MDA III, QTEK 9090, IIs and so on...

I am talking about a real difference for example the amount of ROM memory (which in some places I see 64mb and some places 96mb, which is correct?) operating system version and so on...

If there is a difference, which should I buy?

Thanks.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] paulmc:
no difference
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] ed207_us:
There are differences actually. Depending on model you might not get WiFi built in or a camera built in.

TMobile which is to release the MDA III might not have a camera

Sprint is releasing 2 versions with and without the camera, but both will be without WiFi

To my knowledge only WiFi and the camera are the missing parts from some models
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] aloni:
Great, thanks.

And does it have 64mb ROM or 96mb ?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] paulmc:
Ed,

What links do you have to support this?

All phone that are out today are the same. In the future there will be some without Camera's for the corporate users. The only thing that I have seen without WiFi will be the i-mate JAM but that looks completely different.
