[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
im not on prepaid. all tmobile plans are contractless now. they dont do contracts with a discounted phone anymore. now they dropped all their plan prices, and eliminated contracts. you have to either bring your own phone, or you can buy their phones atcfull prices(and pay 20 a month until paid off. this works out cheaper than having a contract). which is why i dont understamd why people still do prepaid. $50 for unlimited calling/texting + $20 for completely unlimited high speed data with 2.5gb tethering(yes, no throttling with this option. my friends use around 100gb a month, i use 20-40gb a month).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nycebo:
Yeah, I understood that they didn't do contracts anymore but I'm surprised that their monthly non-prepaid plans also don't tack on the federal surcharges. From the sound of your $74 dollar monthly bill for a $70 plan, it seems like you are only paying NY sales tax. Now, admittedly, this is a good thing from my point of view. AND, from yours, it's an AWESOME thing from an unlimited data and 2.5B tethering point of view! :highfive: I'll definitely have to consider swapping to that if I find that I'm regularly hitting data caps OR if they begin to throttle me when I occasionally tether.

As someone noted higher up in the thread, they don't seem to catch Android or Apple devices, but T-Mobile seems to pounce when someone tethers a laptop. I'l have to keep this in mind.

Lastly, I can confirm that FoxFi worked beautifully on Verizon and I never was 'caught', 'notified', or 'throttled' using it. I'll have to see how it's check on TMO.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feelfreetoblameme:
Just to add some information on this. Earlier simms22 had asked me about why I was on the $60 prepaid plan which led to me investigating my options since he is on a $70 plan that has unlimited, as in truly unlimited, data. Anyway, I just got off the chat support line with T-Mobile on an unrelated question and I asked them about tethering on my prepaid, $60 a month plan and the rep said that tethering was included in my plan, at HSPA+ speeds up to my 2.5gb monthly throttling limit. I am a bit surprised by this since I thought there was some kind of 100mb limit or that I was just getting away with it. I have tethered only laptops (Mac and PC) with my Nexus 4 using the built-in tethering and I have never had an issue so apparently that was the reason why. I guess I can tether to my (throttled) heart's content.

Edit: The rep said that tethering was also included on the $50 a month prepaid plans. No mention of the $30.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjchdc:
The benefit of prepaid is unlimited, unlimited, unlimited! Unlimited talk, text, and data. Why would anyone want to pay more to have a plan with 500 mb of tethering? I pay $60 a month for unlimited everything and that includes tethering.

I tether to my Android devices, Chromecast, and Linux PC. The only issue I have with a teetering notice is streaming movies on the computer from sites like Netflix.

My personal suggestion to anyone is if you have home WiFi and don't need a lot of minutes is the $30 5Gb 100 min plan. If not the $60 unlimited plan is my personal second.

I used to have the $30 plan and could tether until my data was depleted. After that point you're on 2G and I had trouble loading my homepage with that.

As of last week T-Mobile prepaid SIMs were going for .99¢ online.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Indian9990:
Man I should just go on my own plan lol. I am on a family plan right Now with 1000 minutes and unlimited data. It's not too bad and I don't get throttled! That's always a plus lol. I am using tethering right now and it also seems to be working for me!

The bills not nearly as cheap. Im still on there classic plan so I can get upgrades. Yes, you can still get upgrades on T-Mobile. Just go to Costco. Plus the off contract phone prices are also cheaper.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cel1084:
Just wanted to say that as of now T-Mobile tethering works on windows 8.1 with out the user agent trick. Probably won't last long but it worked for me for a few days now.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendonsh:
i heard the usb tether works past the limit, will double check when i get home along with bluetooth tethering.. but its only usually notices when its a pc or macs other devices are usually fine

EDIT:

Ok so i used usb tether last night and i didnt see an increase when i checked my account, will double check again and try bluetooth
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerinaw:
No longer able to tether

I was using my Nexus 4 to tether my Nexus 7, Nexus 7 2013, and iPad. I can no longer tether them. Some how T-Mobile knows the built-in tethering app is making the requests. I bought my Nexus 4 from Google when it first came out.

How are they able to tell that I'm not using my phone? Shouldn't the headers be the same for Chrome on the Nexus 4 and 7?
[Droid X General] mwake4goten:
hi

I love the look of this phone...I currently have the Sony Xperia Pro and this phone is a step up, memory and processor wise....

However I am nervous that if I buy one on ebay that maybe it will be incompatible with Rogers, just wondering if any clever OR knowledgeable soul with first hand experience would know if this will work on the Rogers network in Canada?

Any replies will be very much appreciated thank you :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Cytality:
Good news if you're a Sprint customer. Expect big changes within the coming 1-2 years. If you follow the stock market then you may have just heard that Sprint was recently purchased by SoftBank. The FCC has officially approved the deal now. In another transitional move, Sprint has purchased the entirety of Clearwire.

The big news is that SoftBank will be giving Sprint $5 billion this year to expand its 4G LTE network to compete directly with Verizon and AT&t.

Add that to the fact that Sprint now owns the Clearwire technology and can acquire all of their towers and things are looking pretty positive for Sprint customers all in all. Obviously this stuff doesn't happen over night, but give it 1-2 years time and you will see Sprint leading the way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JoeFCaputo113:
Yes... this is all true. But see THIS, which is the exact opposite of good news for Sprint customers :( :eek: :mad:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Cytality:
No worries.. That thread saying the plans are more expensive are incorrect.

If you have a SINGLE line with Sprint then you're more than likely on the 'Everything Data 450' plan, which costs $79.99 a month before tax. To stay at the same monthly price you should just switch to the 'Unlimited, My Way' plan which costs you $50 for unlimited talk and text, and $30 for the unlimited data. $50 + $30 = $80.. which is what the Everything Data 450 plan costs right now.

It's actually a BETTER option, because now you get unlimited calling. With the Everything Data 450 plan, you only get 450 anytime minutes. With the new plan at the SAME price you get unlimited EVERYTHING. Or, you can choose the 'My All-in' plan for $110 month and get unlimited data, text, and calling PLUS a 5GB hotspot add-on for your phone.

The price scheme is the same for 2 phones as well. The only people who are gonna end up paying MORE are the ones who have 3 or more lines on their accounts. But remember, not ALL phones will require unlimited data, and some phone may be basic phones. So the plan will be cheaper.

If you have multiple SMARTphones with Sprint and want unlimited data, here is a breakdown of what you'll be paying with the new plans:

2 phones currently on the 'Everything Data Share 1500' plan = $149.99

2 phones on the new 'Everything, My Way' plan = $150 per month but now you get unlimited calling

3 phones currently on the 'Everything Data Share 1500' plan = $179.98

3 phones on the new 'Everything, My Way' plan = $210 per month but now you get unlimited calling

4 phones currently on the 'Everything Data Share 1500' plan = $209.97

4 phones on the new 'Everything, My Way' plan = $260 per month but now you get unlimited calling

But like I said, everyone with only 1 or 2 lines of service will NOT notice price differences unless they switch to the "My All-in" plan, but that's totally up to them.

Hope this helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JoeFCaputo113:
Well I'm on a family plan (me+mom+dad+sis+bro) all 5 of us have smartphones. Unlimited text+data. So the hike in price will be extremely ridiculous, my parents will probably and HOPEFULLY switch to Verizon!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] plmiller0905:
Believe me...the grass is not greener in the other side.

Verizon service may be the most reliable but they lock their devices down to the max. They're always the first to up their prices too. I had the Verizon S4 and it lacked some of the basic features on the S4 that other variants have, like blocking mode.

I was with Sprint like 5 years ago before I switched to ATT and then Verizon. Based on what my family members told me about Sprint being better than before, I switched back to Sprint yesterday. And to my amaze they have 4G here and they're 3G is not as bad as it was years ago. Heck, ATT still doesn't have 4G here where in live.

I'm gonna try and wait it through to see what big changes Sprint comes out the gate with.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Snazarian:
How do you keep getting out of your contract so freely.....or are you paying every time?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] plmiller0905:
Well for my kids lines, I normally buy their phones off Craigslist, so I don't have a etf on their lines. As far as my wife and my lines, I pay the etf... But I cancel my line first then my wife's line in the next billing cycle. That way both etf's don't end up on the same bill.

Then I resale the phones my wife and I was using and recoup some of what I have to pay on the etf.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] miketucky350:
I love my sprint service after network vision. The data speeds are great. The question is how is sprint going to fix the large roaming areas. I hope softbank can fund sprint to fix this. Look at floridas map.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] shabbypenguin:
Actually id go so far as to say that a single line plan for myself would cost a good bit more with the new plans. i have a 25% discount that gets applied to my first line, with the new plan that discount is dropped to first line for mins etc then i have to pay the full amount on data.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jejb:
Good points. And even the LTE thing I take with a huge grain of salt. Sprint been promising LTE will be almost everywhere in 1-2 years for years now. I'll believe it when I see it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Cytality:
Larger markets will get LTE first. We only just NOW are getting enhanced 3G where I live. But, realistically, thanks to the SoftBank deal I predict most markets will have LTE within the next 1 1/2 years. It's definitely not an overnight switch.

Remember the EDGE network, a.k.a. 2G? Remember how long it took for everyone to get 3G when you first heard about it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GiantJay:
This is a false statement if you are talking about Sprints LTE deployment. They are not upgrading based on population. And they aren't doing upgrades city to city. They are upgrading whole markets at the same time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ChristianPreachr:
What you need to understand is the $10 per line you pay for premium data. In the new plan, it's built in. That drops you 50 right there. These new plans are actually cheaper.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Cytality:
Ok, not sure where you got that information from.

The LTE roll will eventually be nationwide, but you can't expect the whole nation to make the switch overnight. LARGER markets will get LTE first which makes sense. Who do you expect to have LTE first... New York City, or some little town in northern Washington?

The switch will take place piece by piece and step by step with priority going to markets with a higher demand for 4G LTE. Like I said in my previous post, I expect 90% of all markets to have LTE within the next 1 1/2 years.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Glitterloveglamour:
I hope so, 2 years ago.... a lady from Sprint swore to my bf that we would have 4g at the end of the year........nope nothing....I hardly even get 3g (in some locations)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CCallahan:
I don't care what anyone says and no one will convince me otherwise. Sprint's network upgrade vision has been/is terrible. They should of been doing LTE like others instead of wasting time/money on WiMax. T-Mobile has done in a year what Sprint should have been able to do years ago. I've been with Sprint for a while and am really getting fed up with it all. I'm lucky to have LTE (about 50%) where I live but we never got WiMax and the 3G speeds suck and always have. The new pricing better not mess with my corporate rates or I'm jumping ship.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GiantJay:
Let's just say I know people. They are not doing upgrades based on population. New York and LA would have been the first places to get LTE if that was the case. Not to mention there is different LTE providers per region of the country. Such as Alcatel/Lucent, Samsung, Ericsson. It is by whole markets not cities. Example the whole Upper Central Valley of California is a market. Which goes from Oregon to Stockton to Reno and beyond. Sacramento will be upgraded last because it is harder to do work in a major city and get building permit approval etc. So smaller suburbs such as Rocklin and Roseville already have LTE going and the city of Sacramento has nothing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] FanOfSkynyrd:
This, population had nothing to do with Network Vision deployment.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kamau54:
This is my set up.

I have native phone for regular calls, and Talkatone app for WiFi calling. I also have GrooveIP, but seldom use it.

In any case, whenever I get a call on Talkatone, both it and the stock phone rings. I can answer Talkatone, but the stock phone keeps ringing, and vice-versa (answer the stock phone, but Talkatone keeps ringing. Just silencing one is no good because it still shows up on the home screen as an incoming call. And personally, I use the Wifi calling feature 90% of the time at home or when I'm near a WiFi signal.

Both have different numbers as well.

Is there anyway to have them ring independently of each other without enabling & disabling every time I go out?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Probably more of a talkatone issue I'm guessing. Do you have some kind of call forwarding set up on one of the numbers.

I.never even knew this was possible, so I'm just not sure where you could start troubleshooting.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kamau54:
I was just hoping it was encountered by someone else that had found a solution. It is a forwarding issue, but I followed the steps sited at Talkatone website to solve it, which it didn't. I've also sent them a email, but like I said, I was just hoping someone had had it before.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kamau54:
Trying one more time, since sending emails to them has produced absolutely nothing.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] whatsitsnamenow:
Talkatone number should not be forwarded. On Google Voice settings/phone you should have Google Voice forward to Google Chat "only". Google Chat in turns forward the call to Talkatone. If you click forward GV to your carrier number too, yeah there's your problem.

So in a nutshell you should check only one of the box. If you have both of them check then both of them will ring.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kamau54:
That is the setup I have, yet it still rings both numbers.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] whatsitsnamenow:
Try unchecking the two texts box under forwarding number. Also try alternating between the two forwarding option (chat and T-Mobile). Maybe that will reset it.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CLASS37S:
Hi all,

I am technically a NOOB well I am here, but in android not so much. I do have a few questions that Id like to know people`s opinions and thoughts on.

Ok, I have an sgs2 GTi9100, which is unlocked. I am running ics 4.0.3 which I have rooted and am running the siyah v5.0.1 kernel and of course have clockworkmod ability.

I also have upgraded to the official stock jb 4.1.2 again I have rooted this with the jeboo i9100 v1-2 kernel with cwm.

I can switch between the two using restore via cwm.

I have dual boot options listed in the jeboo kernel cwm version and im wondering is it possible to dual boot these two? If so how do I do it?

Regarding privacy, I am not sure if anyone of the mods is aware, what with the revelations Edward Snowden made regarding the NSA USA government spying, there are official reports that the NSA has inserted code that it has written into the android OS.

Now, being a completely law abiding person, and one that respects and values privacy, I do not want this on my phone. I have installed the excellent lbe privacy advisor on my ics rom and it is absolutely superb, you can allow or deny any and all permissions for all apps, even the google apps not just the ones that appear in app drawer either - everything.

However LBE privacy advisor doesnt work under jellybean as it forces the phone to freeze or into a bootloop so for my jb rom I have installed permissions manager which does much the same thing except it doesnt get right down deep into the google side of things which is something I really want.

What I`d like to know is, are there any custom roms out there that have all of the google reporting and spying capability disabled and or removed, and the offending NSA code removed also?

It shocks me that LBE privacy advisor flashes up virtually every time I send a text that google maps has been denied a location request. Like its any of googles business when and where I send a text?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
Hello everybody!

You might have heard of the notorious "Master Key" Vulnerabilty that affects 99% of Android devices. It basically allows a knowledged attacker to access all private and application data. For more information visit: http://bluebox.com/corporate-blog/bluebox-uncovers-android-master-key/.

CM team has recently (on 7th July) committed the fix for the patch. Here it is: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_libcore/commit/fe70e697810a7a8b9ce47325f53d16fdbc19f1f8. Gerrit link: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/45251/

I went back to stock V20a to test it and it is vulnerable as I expected. But not anymore! ;) I've created a patch from the differences of an older and a newer, patched core.jar from CM 10.1.

Things in attachment:

A before and an after screenshot

The patch

V20a core.jar patched (This is very likely to work on other V20 roms as well.) -> How to install? Replace the core.jar file in '/system/framework/' (create a backup first to be sure) and wipe dalvik cache in recovery. The patch of course works without an unlocked bootloader too, in this case, delete all files from '/data/dalvik-cache/' (don't delete the directory). Of course this needs root.

List of invulnerable (patched) roms:

CM 10.1.1 stable

CM nightlies starting from 8th July (There isn't any build on 7th July.)

araragi's custom CM 10.1 build

Any other roms that are not in the list are vulnerable! If you bump into this thread, please test the rom you are using and report so I can extend the list. Thx! Perform the test with this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bluebox.labs.onerootscanner.

Every custom modification to devices have risks. Use this at your own risk!

Have fun and enjoy! :)
