[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jaytronics:
Not in the least bit. But I got lucky. My boss purchased me an iPhone 4s. I tried to use the "smart phone" part of it. But it was just not anything as good as Android is to me. So I asked him if it were OK that I traded it for an Android phone. He was cool with that. Then a couple weeks later after my filled miserable attempt in trades. He asked If I still had it. I did. So I sent it back to him and he gave it to a come worker. Then he calls me up and asks me what phone I want. Now, I have the SGS4. Would I trade my unlimited data to have this? No, it is a phone. Any smart phone could potentially do what you want. But, if you are like me and use roughly 25Gigs of Data a month. Then no. Plus, circumstances change in our lives. Just because you do not use it now does not mean you might not need it later. But, that is the part of me that likes to be prepared speaking.

Now, I did have the SGS3 as my personal phone. But, I just did a SIM card switch and now the SGS4 has become my personal phone and my SGS3 is my work phone. Again, I would not even attempt the loss of unlimited data for a phone. The ability to access info is not priceless and it is sure as he'll not worth a mere phone.

But, these are just my personal opinions. And could be considered garbage to another person. Hence those that do give up their data for a phone. In the end we all have different priorities. So, weigh out the pros and cons.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Terri M:
At one point I was debating at downgrading from unlimited so I could get my S4 as an upgrade. Was talking to a Verizon rep who was anxious to get me to change my plan. I was floored when I found out that Verizon was going to charge me $30 a month for an 8 gb data plan. No deal. I purchased my S4 on release date and I paid full price. Believe me, nothing is worth losing your unlimited, especially since I average over 8 gb monthly!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xsalemx:
I'd say that no phone is worth losing unlimited data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Eeiden:
I have heard from many sources that if you are on the old Alltel unlimited plan you get unlimited data, but you get throttled back on speed after so many GBs each month. Is that considered true unlimited?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] icomrade:
3G to 4G killed my unlimited, it just happened to me today, I was very upset... Was on a Droid Incredible for a couple years, never had a phone more advanced than that activated on my line.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jova33:
You were lied to. There was no reason to lose unlimited data unless you upgraded that line on subsidised pricing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] icomrade:
It was another line's upgrade. but I just accepted it as I really needed a new phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jova33:
Did you activate it on the other line, then transfer the new phone to your line? If it's only been a day, you may be able to revert it back to unlimited, then do it properly. Trust me, 2GB is not enough for the average guy.

Edit: also, unlimited lines are selling for $300+ on eBay, so if I was planning on losing unlimited data, I'd at least make a buck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] icomrade:
Yeah activated the phone on the other line and waited a while. Went online to switch the devices and I was prompted to select a new plan because "The device you're activating is not compatible with your current plan. Please select a Data Plan below." It does it when I try to switch back as well. However, it does not do it on the other unlimited line on my plan which has an Iphone 5 bought at full price from BB...

The line that I used the upgrade from says pending order again...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jova33:
You may have to go in store to get a SIM card. There's no need to change the plan. I've switched from an LTE phone to a 3G phone and back. No change in plan.

IPhone 5 is LTE and has a SIM card.

Hello friends,

I recently flashed stock Asia(India) .54 firmware and also relocked my BL but now I would like to root it but the binary method is not working for me. How to get root? I also did another method but I am failed to flashed. .10 is not flashing correctly whenever I try to flash this, it shows flashed successfully but when checked the version remains same ie .54.

I also have another problem that, when I connect to timescape or IM+ the internal facebook dialogue box is not opening and its asking to choose browser. Please help me

:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] miaad:
To gain you root you need to flash .10 kernel, using flashtool.

Then try either flashtool method or Bin4ry method to root !
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] moli2398:
Well, follow this-

http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/97327?start=0&tstart=0

It's really helpful. You need to flash the kernel first and then the ROM and then root. The guide above has all the links and steps. I rooted my Xperia P using this only.

This is a review of MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) micro-usb to HDMI adapter with a remote: http://www.tvc-mall.com/details/MHL...TV-Adpater-Cable-with-Remote-Control-PCA-380/ and High Speed HDMI v1.4 male-to-male cable: http://www.tvc-mall.com/details/V1....XBOX360-Bluray-Disc-HDTV-DVD-Black-PCA-4196D/

If you guys think this is going to be just another HDMI adapter you have seen so many times in the forum - it's not! Typical adapters have a small converter unit with a male HDMI connector, micro-usb power input, and a cable with micro-usb connector going to your phone. Sure it works, but if you to connect it to your TV you have to fumble around to plug it in in the back panel connecting all the wires in blind or get female-to-male extension cord, and also once you connect the phone - you have to control it by going over to tap that pause button. Well, this MHL adapter got a few bonuses to make it unique.

The main unit is your typical converter which has micro-usb power input, extension cord with micro-usb connector going to the phone, and HDMI connector which is actually female instead of typical male. I think its actually to the advantage because male-to-male HDMI cables are more common than male-to-female extension chords. If you already have one, then you have nothing to worry about, but if you don't I included in my review such high speed cable (v1.4) which is of a fantastic quality, high durability, gold-plated connectors, and for $3 from tvc-mall - its a great value. The micro-usb connector going to the phone is actually 5-pin connector to make this adapter more universal with other phones. But have no worry if you have S3/N2/S4 with 11-pin micro-usb connector. In the package also included a very short 5-pin to 11-pin adapter which seamlessly integrates with a connector, just leave it on since we need to use it with Note 2. You will need to connect power source to keep it happy which also chargers your phone, although as you can see from the pictures recognized as USB source rather than AC (typical for these adapters). Of course, the big bonus in here is a remote control!!! You get all your typical Android control buttons, a separate play/pause/stop, and directional navigation buttons with ok/enter. When you sitting on the couch away from your TV where the phone is connected, to be able to control video stream or navigation is priceless!

Overall, both the adapter and cables (if you don't have one already) are the great value and with a bonus of remote control - make a killer combination for connecting your phone to TV and being able to control it from a distance. I personally was very happy with this order from tvc-mall.

Here are the pictures.

did you get it to work without placing the device in airplane mode? i noticed it didnt work well unless in that mode....

No airplane mode. Worked as is.
[General Accessories] disambiguated:
Are you running a stock ROM?

I assume you are not running CyanogenMod or any AOSP-based ROM, because AFAIK, they don't work with MHL/HDMI output. Are you running a stock Samsung ROM?

Thanks much!
[General Accessories] ytj87:
Is your TV seeing 720p from the combo?
[General Accessories] vectron:
I'm stock, not rooted.

TV should see 720p from the phone. In my particular setup I have an old big screen Sony tube TV without hdmi, so I'm using hdmi to AV converter and because of old 4:3 resolution everything gets a bit messed up but I'm not complaining ;)
[General Accessories] pyraxiate:
Thats actually pretty nice. Might have to pick one up. You ordered it from here? Im always kind of weary ordering from unknown websites.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Honestly, it's no different than ordering from ebay. With tvc-mall you do have to pay for shipping, but it's not that much and often the more you buy the cheaper shipping per item. But you will also notice their prices are a lot more cheaper than others so shipping cost is offset. Plus, the more stuff you buy the cheaper it is. I have ordered from them for awhile now (all my "almost real" cases were from there - although they don't officially carry it anymore, but unofficially it never hurts to ask them in email ;)). Even got a roll up drum kit toy for my kids the last time, and placing another order now for a few bluetooth small speakers, some 3.5mm cables, some toys, etc.. Plus, I just ordered a few more of those short usb cables with built in micro-sd card reader (the one I reviewed in my "smiley" cable review); I want to check it out if another cable will work with micro-sd since it didn't work with my original one.

If/when you place an order with them, chime in and share your experience.
[General Accessories] williamn:
Have you noticed any flickering? I've tried 2 different TV's, and only got it to work consistently once. Other times it shows the screen, then after a few seconds, flashes like it lost connect and comes back on.
[General Accessories] vectron:
Are we talking about exactly the same MHL adapter with Note 2 (stock, not rooted)? I can only speak for that setup and it works perfect. I only saw flickering using this setup with Galaxy S4 which has MHL v2 standard. With the setup above it was solid.

What I would suggest first to make sure all the cables are connected properly. What you describing is sounds almost like an intermittent behavior of a loose cable connection. HDMI cables usually have a sturdier connection, but check that anyway. Usually micro-usb is where you get it loose. Another thing to check is the power connection. If you are using 500mA wall charger that will not be enough to power it up, you will be current starving the converter. I was using my 2A oem wall charger.

Good luck!
[General Accessories] williamn:
Exact same adapter (I bought it after seeing your review), but I am running a different Rom (CleanRom 5.0). All connections are fine on the TV side, and I've replugged in the micro-usb (with adapter) into the N2 a few times, with same results. The wall charger should be good as well. Using the GCC app, I get a 1800 avg current.

Will test it more in depth tonight.
[General Accessories] statustray:
Hi there williamn,

How did things go with your unit?
[General Accessories] williamn:
I've only had time to try it once more, and it worked continuously for hours. Haven't changed anything on my phone, used the same cables. Will report back after I test it a few more times.
[General Accessories] nkognegr0:

[General Accessories] pisis:
Bought it 2 days before but i didnt got it to work... :-/

I m in stock rom but rooted...

any ideas..?
[General Accessories] vectron:
are you guys using 5-to-11 adapter? Also, try to play around with powering it up first and then connecting hdmi cable versus connecting cable first and then powering it up. I actually used mine yesterday and it was working for awhile until my tv started to flicker which suggested connection was getting loose somewhere. Plus, I was playing on non-HD tv with hdmi to component converter and was using 1A external battery to power up this guy. So the power is used for both MHL converter and my HDMI converter, and I'm thinking maybe I should have used 2A charger for it... So just another suggestion maybe to make sure you use higher current charger to power it up?
[General Accessories] n2noob4vr:
No Luck for Me on N2 w/CleanRom 5.0

Well, I've had no luck at all. Purchased and received, hooked up as directed with OEM charger to rooted N2 running CleanRom 5.0. Not even a flicker on the Visio set I hooked it to. Phone acknowledges it is being charged, though the microUSB connectors (particularly on the adapter piece) seem a bit sketchy. But no matter what sequence I use to hook up, the TV never indicates even a flicker. Any other suggestions? Any setting on phone that triggers HDMI out? I use USB drives and devices without a hitch otherwise. The MHL Unit lights up and indicates it receives signals from the remote. I just never get a flicker on the TV.:(
[General Accessories] pisis:
Me neither...tried the 2amp charger also but no luck at all... I ve contacted the supplier and asked for a new one..(have to wait for a couple of weeks.. :-/ ) will try again then...

Is there any possibility that the problem is because we are ''rooted''..?
[General Accessories] n2noob4vr:
Better News!

:good: For those having trouble, I'm posting again to report I finally got mine working (except for the remote)! So it's not a problem with being rooted OR with running a custom ROM (at least CleanRom). I don't know about Cyanogen, or others that are not based on/derived from the orginal stock ROM, but I'm delighted to report that it works as gloriously as vectron indicated. As I indicated in my post above, the way the micro-USB connectors went together seemed sketchy to me, but I discovered that's where the problem lies -- and I'm guessing the same is true for others who have experienced failure like me.

I did more research and watched demo vids, etc. and paid close attention to how the parts went together. The key for me was to go ahead and force (gently but firmly) the 5 to 11 adapter ALL THE WAY into the phone jack. Mine didn't go in easily, and I was spooked to push too hard, but in the end that's what I had to do. When I pushed past the resistance and finally seated it firmly and fully flush with the bottom of the phone, VOILA!, the recognition message came up and immediately the HDMI was output to the TV. Both sound and audio worked really fine. It's pretty amazing when you see it work.

One note about the connectors. There is still a space between the 5-11 adapter and the MHL device plug. On mine at least, this connects WITHOUT being fully flush. BUT, as noted above, the adapter needs to be fully flush with the bottom of the phone. Hope this works for the rest of you. It is sweet if you get it working. vecron was correct, the key in in the connectors. They are finicky, but if you get them right, it works like a charm.:D
[General Accessories] vectron:
Especially when you are dealing with 11 months old Note 2 where you put a lot of wear''n'tear mileage on that micro-usb phone connector :) That's my problem :(

Regarding remote, not too insult your intelligence, I think there was a piece of plastic stuck in battery compartment so make sure its out for remote to work. Another point, that remote is not RF but rather IR (infrared) which requires direct visual contact with receiver element so you gotta make sure to point remote to that space on the converter. Hopefully that will fix your problem.
[General Accessories] n2noob4vr:
Remote operation

It's hard to insult my intelligence, ;) but I do want to understand the remote a bit better. I did take the plastic out, thankfully, and it is easy to tell that the remote inputs a signal to the MHL device. There is a red LED flicker on the MHL each time you push a button on the remote, but regardless of what buttons are pushed, there is no reaction by the phone, nor any indication of anything happening with the TV image. When playing a video with stock Video player there is no response to any button - pause, stop, etc.

Maybe I just don't know what or how the remote is supposed to work. There was NO documentation with the device/adapter/remote as shipped to me, so maybe this is an intelligence-thing. :silly: But I'd love to be educated!
[General Accessories] pisis:
Man thats the last thing i would look for..!!! Many many many thanks...!!!Finally worked..!!! ;)
[General Accessories] n2noob4vr:
For clarity

Yes, EXACTLY. That's why I wrote the follow-up after I discovered the cure. I'm providing this for any others who stumble on this same issue. It's the last thing you look for because, oddly, the phone recognizes the DC CHARGER aspect of the setup even with the microUSB connector only partly inserted into the phone jack. In other words, you hook it up, it says it's charging, you assume it's all set up -- but you get NO HDMI output. So you think your unit is defective.

YOU HAVE TO INSERT the 5-11 ADAPTER piece fully into the phone's microUSB jack -- until the adapter is fully flush with the bottom of the phone. You may even have to wiggle it around gently in that flush setting. The KEY is to look for the message to flash on your phone. It will indicate when it recognizes the HDMI device is attached -- very similar to when you connect to a PC as a media device, or when you use it with a thumb drive (with adapter), keyboard, etc. If and when it sees the device it will acknowledge it and automatically launch the service.

So the lesson, I think, is that if the phone doesn't recognize the device, it is almost always a connector issue. I'm learning to fiddle with that first, and in depth, before considering any other option. Just sayin . . .

i want to buy one for my galaxy note 8.0.. how does the remote control work? can you navigate/control the galaxy note from the remote? i found a similar product on ebay.. i asked the seller that does the remote do; he does not seem to know.. i asked if it can control video playback, he said no.. then i asked if you can navigate through android, he said no... i asked him what's the use then.. he didn't replied lol...
[General Accessories] n2noob4vr:
Works great on Note 8.0 but can't validly advise re remote

I am happy to report the unit/setup works just as well to output HDMI from the Note 8.0 as it does from the Note 2. I have the AT&T version of the Note 8.0 and used it last evening. However, my experience with the remote is similar to the "answers" you received. So far I haven't been able to get any use out of it. I stress I have not explored it in detail, and there is no documentation I know of - see my inquiry in the thread above. So I can't help further about the remote at this point. If I find time and develop better knowledge I'll try to post again.
