[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falcon26:
OK so the $50 is what I would need. Now the thing that I would need most is good download speed. On At&t when I had my old nexus 4 which was about 4-5 month ago, the download speed was not very good at all. On speed tests I would get something like 3-5 megs off hours and about 1-2 megs rush hour. HASP+ is what At&t has for the Nexus 4. What exactly does T-Mobile have over At&t signal to give it better speeds? And how exactly does bring your own phone work. I know they send me a sim and I put it in the N4. Now I want to keep my At&t number so do I just transfer my number over when I sign up or after I put the sim card in?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jphantomx:
In my case, I wasn't able to get the SIM from a tmobile store, so I ordered it online. Also if you use promo code 99SIM you can get a micro sim for free on tmobile's website. Make sure you choose the prepaid micro SIM though. Then when you receive it just activate it online and choose the plan you want.

EDIT: when activating there's an option for porting your number, haven't tried it but I think it takes about a week to get your number transferred. For the download speeds on H+ I get ~14mbits down so it's pretty good. But for your plan ($50 plan) you'll have the first 500mb only at high speed, then it reduces to EDGE.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falcon26:
Aw cool thanks for that promo code :) I think I will give it s try. I will sign up with a new number just to see what its all about. OK I ordered it, was $1.09 nice :) So once I get it I go online and just pick the $50 or $60 plan and that's it? Will it assign me a new number etc...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
You do know that the $50 t-mobile monthly 4g plan will throttle your data speeds after 500mb of high speed data, right? Pay 10 bucks for and you'll get 2gigs of high speed data.

---------- Post added at 08:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

Yes.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falcon26:
Yeah I just noticed that. I will probably go for the $60 plan. I'm trying to figure out on At&t with the same features how much their comparable plan is...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falcon26:
Also what about straight talk T-Mobile is that the same thing as a stand alone Sim card from T-Mobile? Would the speed be the same?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
It should be the same. You'll need a straight talk sim instead.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falcon26:
I went to the Straight Talk website but I can't seem to find order a micro sim all they have are the regular Sims did they stop selling the micro SIMs

Just as an fyi - every question you asked can be found easily by searching. Also check out simple mobile for $50 unlimited. Check this link out http://www.allprepaidplans.com/ my friend. Got to remember that Google is your friend. Hope this info helps you too make an educated decision. Also some networks are just better in certain areas than others.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icanttinkofaname:
I am aware of the swipe up the home button takes you straight to Google now so you can search no matter what app you're in, but would it be possible to change it slightly to trigger the in-app search function like Google play's search or imdb or whatever app you happen to be running. Obviously if the app doesn't provide a search function like a game etc, then the gesture defaults back to Google now.

Thanks.

Hello guys let me start of by saying I work hard for my money and when I pay for something i expect it to work as advertised.

So I was downloading a huge file from my drive account and was at 75 % and all of a sudden the network goes out on me and the download fails... It was a 350 mb file and being on the 30$ plan any data use is considered used even if the data was not used as intended. So I call T-Mobile and ask them what was wrong with the network as I tried downloading this twice and both times it failed. I asked if there was an outage in my area and they said no so I explained my problem to them and they said " due to the circumstances of your problem I can't give you the data back but here's 15$ credit for the data and an extra 5 for the inconvenience" I was like okay thanks and so I was compensated 20$ for my problem.. so one day i loaded ten more dollars to complete the 30 for my next cycle and i called to ask about a rate plan.. The lady ask hey i see youre out ofbdata and ninutes would you like to renew your plan early and I said no well point is she renewed my plan after I said no and when I didn't notice a change in my data speeds I called back to let them know something was wrong cause I hadn't been throttled and found out my plan was renewed. So they once again gave me credit. 15 $ ... So... I guess if you have any inconvenience with your service and call and complain about dropped called or dropped connections they compensate you. I'm not saying this is right to do but if you have ever been in my situation where you download something and it fails call in... Again I'm sure we all work hard to pay our dues. They're making millions and promoting a fast 4g network not dropped calls or data loss.
[Nexus 4 General] IRX120:
I sent in my phone for service, my old phone, not even to T-Mobile but to Samsung and I called T-Mobile and they gave me 10$ for being without service for a week, they seem to have good customer service. Same thing when I broke my phone and got the nexus 4.

You might consider changing the title to something more along the lines of "Frequent data drops? Tmo credits you back" just to avoid people trying to abuse this (I realize this was not your position, it sounds completely legit in your case). Tmo is the only company right now I recommend NOT ripping off. If it was ATT I'd say do it 12 times a day, they've screwed every customer they've ever had. Tmo is being totally awesome as a phone company right now, let's not take advantage of the only company on our side ;)

Useful thread, thanks for the info, just offering input
[Nexus 4 General] Deleted member 3452239:
That's pretty much how I feel, but with HTC. Rip them off 12 times a day, and do no harm to good old Google. Lol, but I haven't had any issues with att yet other than locked into a 2 year contract then my phone catching on fire and them and HTC refusing to repair it, (for a reasonable amount) so here I am with the nexus 4 and I haven't looked back.

Can't say I have ever called an isp because a file I tried to download failed.
[Nexus 4 General] boborone:
Yep. Left att after getting throttled after having unlimited data for years. Then went to sprint. Besides slow 4G, bad customer service, I finally left because I couldn't stand not having a gsm phone. Now with TMo for a few months, and love it. Customer service is great, people in the offices are good. Great phones, great company trying to do something for people and go the European way with cell providers.

Ya. Please don't screw them over.
[Nexus 4 General] mymeatb18:
In my opinion T-Mobile is the best so far. I have been with them for 5 years and never had any issues. Well one time had called to try and better my plan and the lady forgot to add back on my unlimited texting and had a bill for $1000. Didn't know the wife and i text that much, but one call without any issue fixed the problem.

Depending on the area but where I live I feel has the fastest mobile 3g speeds. I have a crappy sprint Motorola for work and the 3g is complete garbage. I don't even attempt to use it.
[Nexus 4 General] SpookyTunes:
I have been with T-Mobile for 12 years (aka Voice Stream). I have had enough company phones on AT&T to avoid that train wreck!

Now if I could get "Google Fiber" and ditch "Time Warner Cable", life would be bliss......

You shoulda tried playing with the APN settings ;) (hint, if you're on an lte plan and use wap.cingular it doesn't count towards the throttle counter or the online account management console)

* This post is to be a reply in this topic , but it seem I am not allowed yet to post in dev. Thank you *

First of all, hello everybody! I just made this account after I noticed that info present gere was not enough for my problem. So, please excuse the fact I'm not posting this in Development subforum (i'm not allowed yet).

So, I was rooting my device... I tried to create a backup, but it was taking like forever to format. Then I found this post that said it was all fixed now. So, I said to myself to try again... unfortunately, for second run, there was no "Backup" option.

Now I'm with a Rooted Nook, but no backup after original. Is there some way to restore this to original, if needed? I'm happy now with this root, but who knows... ?

Btw,before rooting I updated to last firmware (1.2.1).

Thank you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] bluewr:
Why can the Nexus 7 be able to download, but TF700T cannot?
[Asus Transformer TF700] fsured:
Its probably the screen resolution which isnt supported and Google play is blockinge the download as the device being incompatible. Go to the actual Google play website and look up the game. When you are logged in it will say on the left side which android devices you own are compatible but won't say why for any that are not. For that you have to test your luck contacting the developer for an answer.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Because the nexus 7 has a crap 1280x800 resolution, and the tf700 is full-hd 1920x1200.

Either email the dev (pointless if ea or ubisoft/gameloft), sideload it or use an 'alternative' method.

You mean, save it on titanium on my Galaxy S3, then load it into my TF700T?
[Asus Transformer TF700] bluewr:
OK, Save back up through Titanium, upload to drop box, download and install through titanium, and download game file. that works, and it plays fine, so Not sure why SQE isn't allowing it on the TF700T

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] saulo866:
I own a MDA compact with 64MB ROM and 64MB RAM + 512MB San Disk SD

I would like to receive some suggestions about how to increase RAM and ROM on my MDA compact: after hard reset I see that, in fact, the available RAM for programs and storage is much less than 64MB, in fact it is around 40MB.

I guess the culprits are those cabs and installation files which are inevitably installed after hard reset from Ext-Rom.

I would like to know how to increase the available ROM+RAM after Hard Reset.

ALso I would like to know if it is possible (and how) to modify the external ROM and get rid of most NOT useful programms.

These following programs are NOT useful to me:

- album

- email whiz

- MSN messenger

- photo contacts

- Midlet manager

- Pictures

- Windows Media

- Zip

- xBackup

- games (both of them)

Thanks in advance for your kind help and advice

this is easy, do a hard reset, and then direcly afther aligning the screen do a soft reset windows will be installed but no other programs like (in my case) msn messenger t-mobile crap etc.

57.41MB after soft reset, remains as free memory

Thanks. I have done as you recommend.

1.

I noted that the remaining storage + program memory is 57.41MB, not 64MB. Why?

2.

Also I have noted that WITHOUT PERFORMING SOFT RESET all the auxiliary unwanted programs are installed and, SURPRISE, at the end, the free memory is still THE SAME, 57.41MB !? Why is that? It should be less, say 50MB

Thanks and waiting

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] ilvanni:
Re: 57.41MB after soft reset, remains as free memory

The remaining 6.5MB are used by system and not available to user.

57.41MB is the size of memory installed.

The "blue bar" in memory is the memory available. The "white" portion is the memory used.

For example I have:

Storage: Allocated 21.18 - In use 11.83 - Free 9.35

Program: Allocated 36.24 - In use 14.63 - Free 21.61

So I have 26.46MB Used and 30.96 Free.

If I install more programs in main memory I will find less free space.

I understand that some devices, like the Galaxy Nexus, have the NFC hardware built in to the battery. Is the DNA like this?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultrapirate:
Hey guys, im currently on paranoid android and want to try the xenon hd rom, i read﻿ it's recommended to do a full wipe before installing a rom if your running a different rom. Is there any steps I have to do other than a reset, flashing the rom and the gapps, plus the wiping of the cache and the delvik cache?

Regards.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
its always recommended to make a backup(nandroid) of your current rom before flashing anything, just in case. backup, wipe data, flash the rom, flash the gapps or kernel if needed, reboot and profit. you dont have to wipe the dalvik/cache because when you flash a rom it automatically wipes it anyways.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
One little thing to add to what simms wrote, whether it's recommended or not in the corresponding thread, when you move from one rom to another a full wipe should be a golden rule.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caffeinatrix:
So here's the deal;

I used CF Auto-Root to root my phone a while back with no issues. Today, I made a full CWM backup and I decided to flash ForceROM 2.3 just to see what it was like. After I flashed it, I kept getting "Failed to obtain ip" in the WiFi for my network, so I thought maybe there was an issue and restored the backup (partially because I couldn't get it working and partially because I had forgotten what all I had before flashing. D'oh).

My problem is I'm still getting the "Failed to obtain ip" error when trying to connect to WiFi. I've tried rebooting the phone, taking the battery out, resetting the router, forgetting the network and reconnecting, double- and triple-checked the encryption key, and tried the WPS function. It was working just fine on this network earlier today and even after I rooted it.

Any ideas what this could be? It was so sudden I honestly have no clue, and the only thing I can think of is something with the ROM but I wouldn't even know where to begin when trying to fix it x_x
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yapoyo:
Hello,

I am looking for a free and easy way to record my screen on my Galaxy S3. I looked in Google Play and found a couple good apps, but all of them required root. The others that didn't were really crappy.

When I googled it, I only found results for iPhone and older versions of android, I have android 4.1.1 jelly bean.

Is there any way to do this without spending any money and not rooting?

Try this app called ScreenREC trial from play store. I have not tried it but it says its possible without root.

Are you referring to a screen shot or something like a macro recorder? Screen shots are built in to Jelly Bean, just press and hold power and volume down buttons at the same time.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Deefex:
Hello everyone, thanks for taking the time to read my thread. i'm really having a hard time here. I'm trying to take pictures, but it has become so unstable, and I can't reply. and it keeps saying i don't have any space in my SD. I've NEVER had this problem with my other ROM/Default.

:(

There are 2 SDs, one is the one i bought and put it, so i can put all my music and i thought the other i would be able to have it for pics and other stuff. But I can't see it. i've taken out so much music to try and make space (like 10 folders/albums). But it's still saying it doesn't have enough space.

I'm right now rooted. used ClockworkMod then installed CM10 I believe. or CM11 and right now i'm running android (I went from a 2.3.6) to 4.1.2. on an SGH-T679 and the ROM is CyanogenMod version, Build date Apr 2, 16H EDT 2019, CyanogenMod version 10-20130402-UNOFFICIAL-Ancora_tmo. I hope that's enough info.

So I'm guessing if anyone from these forums. Has anyone been through this? Or has heard of someone else having problems. Because my #1 thing is just walking around NYC, taking pics. But when I can only walk around and like take 3 or 4 pics. i'm like :crying: all day. And i don't have the $ to just buy a camera like that.

P.S. and since yesterday, It takes longer to load the battery while charging unlike before. I thought that it was weird. But then to waste/discharge the battery.

Thank you:)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Dvarl:
This may or may not solve your problem, sometimes there are hidden files that stay on your internal storage and eat up all your room. In your file manager enable hidden files, then look for things you can remove. One of hem right off the bat would be .thumbnails, I'm sure there are more but honestly you have to look around your storage, there may be old downloads or cache files that are still there. Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Deefex:
I think i flashed my ROM, data, cache, dalvik-cache and I think data was the last one. and since i've done that. I can't start my phone. It says samsung. then the samsung cyanogenmod start up screen, and it just hangs there. can anyone help me with this pls? I pressed

start button + down volume button. Then it says that it's going to download the OS for me. But i think that just hangs too cause it takes a while. and then it goes back to the start up screens that won't go anywhere. :(

Thanks D'vari, but unfortunately i think i'm passed that. Now i need to know just how to start my phone and get it past the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Dvarl:
You probably have conflicting data somewhere. Try power + volume up. That should get you into recovery. Then wipe everything except system and you should be able to boot up.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Deefex:
It took so long, because i read somewhere else to press vol down + power button. so i was trying. And It got me into Odin, and that said an OS is important, do you want to dl an OS now? so i said, well, i don't think i even have one left, so i chose yes. then it would say it was downloading for hours. but then it would boot up into the boot up screen loop. which was kind of good, but i didn't think so at the moment. Then i read how to get into cwm in my phone. so then i did it, and i had to do an advanced restore before regular restore was coming back MD5 mismatch. So It's like i flashed my old system, restored it to factory cyanogenmod factory. Tomorrow i'll flash cm10 and google apps and something else that had swipe working on this phone. maybe it was just upgrading to CM10, because now it's in version 9 and swipe is not working.

Thanks for your help
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jmcpheeters:
cyanogenmod issues as well

I had the same issue last week when updating to 10.1. but it did say that it may take a while to boot up. I didn't stress it. I just plugged it in by my bed and went to bed. when I woke up the next morning, I had it!

I did the volume up/power-wipe clean-reboot and then I slept. give that a try. maybe you are just like me and worrying that it is taking too long and you have F-ed up your phone!

On a different note, this 10.1 is awesome. But I can't get it to recognize my sd card. it does show that one is mounted but wont save anything and wont let me access the files. I have wiped the sd card clean and formatted to fat32. but that is doing nothing for me. any other suggestions here? I need my music and the space! this is taking so much time, it almost isn't worth the effort. but I love the cyanogenmod 10.1. but can't keep if it wont work right. ???
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] schuylkillparanormal:
I'm using pac 4.2 and I can switch were I want my pics stored from the camera settings maybe that ROM would help your situtation.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Deefex:
Thank you for all your help. But i decided to switch over to JellyBean. But i've been having some minor problems with it. I just flashed this ROM after doing something stupid in CWM (as you all know) while using cyanogen. I actually really like this ROM. I though CM10 futuristic looking. this beats that by a lot of points. I just have a problem now. The icons in the apps menu/section, are spaced too far apart. IDK what I did to cause this. Cause i was messing with those options of icons rows and colums for the desktop, but i set it back to default and that still didn't do anything to the apps section.

The other problem I'm having is with the camera. I try to open it, but it just says camera can't go on, 'wait-report-close'. That type of message. IDK what it is because the main reason for switching was to be able to take lots of pics. :) I love taking pics with my phone. And i found out what had my internal memory soooo clogged up. I had a .txt music cache file that was 848MB. Once I erased that, I know have 50% free space. :)

It looks really retarded :(. I know i'll fix it somehow, someday. I think there's even an upgrade now for slimbean, maybe I should try that. But right now i'm in google play store. in the 'my apps' list. and going through what i used to have, and installing my old apps, one by one. a grueling task, but I really want to use this ROM as my main rom.
