[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr Ian B:
This plan includes 100 anytime minutes, unlimited texts and 5gb of data before you get throttled.

I was on this plan on the Nexus 4 and worked like a champ. Once I payoff the GS4 phone next month I will switch back from postpaid plan to the $30 prepaid plan. I have a few questions:

1- Will $30 prepaid plan let me use tmobile LTE network if available in my area/city?

2-Do I need to get another SIM card or can Tmobile switch my SIM card to that plan if I call customer service?

3- Will the wifi calling feature continue on prepaid plan or will I lose it? I use Skype for wifi calls along w $30 plan to compensate for only 100 minutes for call making.

Tia,

Ian B

The 30 a month plan has limited everything i think. So yeah as long as you arent in a contract you should be perfectly fine, everything should work as it does now. However, read fine print of the 30 dollar a month plan. Just to be safe :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheAtheistOtaku:
1- As far as i know, yes

2- im pretty sure you need a prepaid sim, the multiple chats ive had with customer support make it seem that way anyway

3-yes wifi calling still works, i use it all the time but it still takes from your minutes (which is stupid, imo) so you should continue to use skype

im interested in skype though. do you have the monthly plan for them? and if so, do they give you a separate number or is it similar to google voice where you get a seperate number

---------- Post added at 10:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 PM ----------

the $30 dollar plan they are talking about has 100 min, unlimited text, and unlimited data (first 5 gig high speed before being throttled)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] thehelios:
Just went through this.

_____________________

Went to a TMo store and bought the Galaxy S4 and paid for it in full up front and got the $50 post-paid plan. Two days later, I called TMo CS to switch to Prepaid. Was sent to prepaid and told the woman on the phone to convert my plan and she asked what plan and the conversion went through and had to wait 24 hours.

After 24 hours, I see online that my plan was set to prepaid but it was the non-WalMart $30 plan. Called back in and they said there's nothing I could do since it was for new WalMart activations. Called back a second time, CS person asked a supervisor to approve the change since the first CS who did my conversion didn't question the prepaid plan I was requesting, and was approved.

Now I'm on the WalMart $30 plan and am using the Google Voice app for texts and Groove IP for incoming/outgoing calls. The 4G service in South Florida is fantastic and no one has even noticed that I've changed providers and that the call I'm currently on is purely over a 4G network.

Bought a couple $30 prepaid cards on eBay at $24/each and am saving a ton of money.

________________________

The main idea about this $30 plan is that it is ONLY accessible with a new SIM card activation unless you get lucky like I did and guilt a CSR into giving it to you.

If outside forums are against the rules, then please remove these links. FatWallet and SlickDeals have some pretty in-depth threads about this specific plan and how to actually get it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Atmazzz:
I was under the impression the $30 plan is only for new customers. I have been on it for over a year. When I bought the S4 I signed up for the unlimited postpaid. I'll probably be going back to the $30 prepaid. I talked with TForce@T-mobile before the switch. The $30 plan will go for 90 days without putting in money or being active. So you could actually let it sit for a couple months with no money. I have 2 prepaid sims I ordered a few months ago I can activate online or just a use a sim cutter and use the $30 sim from my S2 in my S4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Lolento:
I have this plan on my Tmo S4.

1. Yes, but to be honest, I turn LTE off most of the time. HSPA+ is fast enough and you don't want to drain battery on LTE and searching for LTE.

2. I don't think you are allowed to switch to that plan, as far as I know, new customers only.

3. Tmo's wifi calling will use the minutes. I am using Groove IP to compensate for the limited 100 minutes, works better than I thought so far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheAtheistOtaku:
Yes it is new customers only, but if you cancel your current plan and get a new prepaid sim you will be considered a new customer, so its an easy workaround.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MisterEdF:
It's not easy if you want to keep your number. "Technically" it's only for new accounts but some have had luck "convincing" reps to make the change FROM an existing prepaid plan. More than likely they will end up giving you the wrong $30 plan (the one with ZERO data) unless you start from scratch and do it yourself on the website.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SephXII:
I just did this today, I bought the S4 full price from tmobile. I had the S2 with the $30 a month plan, I called them up and told them I wanted to activate my phone, the CSR cancelled my old sim card and activated the new one. When you call just make sure you have the new sim card number ready so it can be activated. You dont have to be a new customer to use this plan if you already have it. my old prepaid plan works great, and I have full LTE access in my area. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr Ian B:
Was at Walmart today and they had the tmobile $30 prepaid kit w a $30 card for $39.88. Once I pay the phone off will get one and switch over and keep my Skype account for wifi calling.

Ian B
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] swerveness:
Quick question about how this $30.00 prepaid plan works: Do you have to keep buying a new $30 sim card every month? Or do they just send you a $30 bill once a month? And will this work if I buy a T-Mobile Galaxy S4 off of Craigslist and activate it with a new sim card?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mr Ian B:
You can buy the prepaid cards locally or online. I get them from callingmart.com. It does not matter where you bought the phone. Just activate the SIM card online and choose the $30 plan. You can not get this plan at the stores. You have the option through the Tmobile app in the market to set up monthly debits from a bank account when due. Been on it for eight months and it is perfect. I use Skype for all my calls when wifi available and the 100 mins when out and about.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] abalsy:
My Samsung Captivate Glide i927 (unlocked, OS is gingerbread 2.3.6, cant upgrade to ICS as I dont have unlock code) was working absolutely fine till early evening when I switched it off and put in on charging (battery remaining was less than 10%). After about 45 mins of charging, I removed the charger and switched the phone on. However, since then, the phone screen blinks white and then the phone is reset after about 10-15 secs max.

I had tried no OS upgradations at all, and the only non-market apps installed were the ones which are quite big in size (in Google Play). I did have quite a few games installed, but I never got any memory low messages or anything. My last installation was the game Jetpack Joyride roughly 5 days ago. The only thing out of the ordinary is that the app ADM (Advanced Download Manager) had been updated 3-4 times in the past fortnight, but I didnt download the latest update for it.

Also I deleted ADM and Battery Widget in the short time that I got between resets, as I thought both of them were installed in phone memory. But there was absolutely no improvement after doing that.

I did save data thru Kies, but even after connecting to the computer, the phone continues to reset, and so it is impossible to restore anything, at the moment.

So, is there any way to get the phone back to a working state?? Would really appreaciate any and all suggestions!!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] abalsy:
If I boot into android recovery (power + volume down) there is an option to "wipe data/factory reset". Will my phone get locked again if I choose to do that??

The phone at the moment is bad as bricked at the moment, and I am starting to contemplate the pros and cons of doing a factory reset, or an upgrade to ICS. So my next question is whether I can flash the stock ICS from Samfirmwire thru ODIN or recovery mode (since the phone is completely stable in those modes?? And how??

Hello -

I've been trying to flash available zips, but have not had any luck with this.

Has anyone been able to get Photosphere Camera working on Tab 10.1?

I am running latest CM10.1 Nightlies.

Thanks,

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] John Kester:
Mine works flawlessly on CM nightlies. I held on to the original gapps I installed at the beginning and when the artifacts were cleared from the camera shots, photosphere became better too. I have been using it since then.

Can you share your version of camera/gapps? Maybe i'll have better luck with those?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] John Kester:
My gapps is dated 20121212 and it is signed.

One thing I kept doing when camera, photoshpere and gallery were misbehaving at the beginning of the nightlies was to clear data for gallery. Before I posted this, I had to reconfirm that the photosphere was still functioning well. At first it crashed immediately I activated it. So I went to Apps in Settings and cleared data for Gallery and that solved the problem. You may wish to try that. By the way I am 24/05 nightly.

Cheers.

Thanks for the info. I'll try it out and post findings.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khurram23:
No joy. I tried clearing data and stuff as suggested, but photosphere closes after taking the first shot.

Have even tried re-installing CM10.1 with nothing else installed.

Any thoughts or other suggestions?

Thanks,

K
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] John Kester:
What nightly of CM 10.1 are running? That will play a significant role in the functionality of photosphere. There was a time it was not supported at all but later support was restored and has been okay since then, at least for me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khurram23:
John -

Thanks for the update and sorry, I was out of town and was not able to get to this post.

I have recently reset my tablet to bare minimum. I am currently running CM10.1 nightly 0606, and was just thinking about upgrading to 607 (607 is latest as of writing this).

As far as camera app, i am using 4.2Camera_t04.zip (i can't remember where I aquired this from). I DO NOT, at the moment, have gapps package installed.

I will be looking to install the 301 gapps with 607 nightly to see if it helps.

Thanks,

Khurram
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khurram23:
Update:

I installed the latest nightly 607 and installed the 1212 gapps. Installed the camera zip mentioned earlier and tried photosphere. It opens, but after taking first picture, the camera crashes.

I tried clearing data for gallery app, but still crashes.

Investigation continues...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khurram23:
John -

Would you be able to share or point me towards the Photsphere camera app/zip you are using?

I'm pretty much out of ideas at this point.

Thanks,
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] John Kester:
I actually did not install any other camera app/zip, just the gapps. So reinstall the cm 10.1 and gapps after the necessary wipes, then wipe cache and dalvik after the installation. Run Photosphere and if it crashes, wipe data for gallery.

Hope this helps.

Ok I'm on tasks aokp Rom and it works great. I have tried a couple of times to flash a new rom. I make sure that the battery is charged to 100% and flash the rom (tried with several different roms). It will work for a while, then it will crash to 0% and will boot loop because the battery reports 0%. I plug it in and it will boot up and start charging. At some point it will jump right back up to 100%.

I've tried battery calibration and no dice. The only thing that works is restoring my nandroid of tasks Rom.

My next step is doing a full wipe or going back to stock. I would like to avoid this if possible

Any help would be appreciated.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
That is a very weird problem to have. Supposedly Android generates new battery stats at each boot, so not sure what is going wrong with your device.

Which ROMs have you tried flashing? If you are just trying to flash between different builds of AOKP then perhaps you should try a CM based ROM. Or if you are flashing from AOKP to a CM ROM, then try other AOKP based things only and see if the problem is still there or not.

Insert your straight talk sim card and see if you get service. You cant check r800at unlesss you take the phone to att store or call them. Who knows what will happen.

You will run into issues if the phone is reported stolen. Once your imei is blocked on att it will also block you from tmobile as well because the 2 companies have an agreement.
