If you haven't heard of LycaMobile...It's a T-Mobile MNVO..

My AHD is Carrier Unlocked so I can use AT&T or T-Mobile, I got tired of paying 45+taxes for StraightTalk (AT&T) since I am mostly on wifi and don't really need the speed when I am not...

so i bought an unlock code and switched to Ultramobile last month because of their 19$ plan but they only give you 50mb of data

that was an issue for me and I didn't want to pay 39$ for their unlimited 2g when I could get GoSmart for 35$...

The other day I learned Lyca has the same plan as Gosmart but for 29$ (unlimited talk,text and 2g)

I waited too long to port my number from Ultra and lost it....

I've had Lyca service less then 2 hours and so far the only problem I had is their porting process,

It wasn't as fast as it was for me when I ported from other companies....

I've ported my number to and from a few companies and it always took less then 10 hours

I stupidly assumed 12 hours would be enough this time aswell,

Anyway 29$ sounds like a great deal I just hope I don't end up having issues with their service,

I figured I'd let people in the AHD section know about Lyca and post updates if I have any problems.

Maybe others have had experience with Lycamobile .

Update: 8/4/13

I've had lyca for almost 7 days now and at first I was having signal issues at home and it made it hard to have long text messages it was annoying, texts would get stuck at sending but seems good now after i went to Holoblur from Liquidsmooth.

Originally i thought lyca went to unlimited 2g after the first 50mb but turns out it's 3g.

To to be sure i downloaded a 100mb video last night, at 1.5-2mb which seems to be my average data speed on lyca since day 1... anyway i'm still getting 1.5-2mb on speedtest.net today so Lyca is even more worth it for me now that i know it's unlimited 3g instead of a slow 2g..

I used to use testmy.net in the browser but for some reason after i flashed holoblur 0.9 last night testmy.net says Forbidden.

So at the moment the only issue I have with Lyca is that they don't have mms but i can live with that if my data speeds stay at at least 800kbs.

I also forgot to backup my contacts when i flashed holoblur 0.9 last night , I had 2 contacts i had added that day...I am lucky Lyca keeps a call log online.

[Motorola Atrix HD] Mister_Simon:
Sounds good. Although do they have any 3G plans.

I don't mind a 250mb 3G plan vs unlimited 2G
[Motorola Atrix HD] diamond12:
http://www.lycamobile.us/en/national-plans

It's a similar concept to T-Mobile's in that you get an allotment of 4G (3G) data and then it goes to 2G speed. Looks very interesting. Thinking of switching to their 1GB plan after I use up all my T-Mobile credit. The $20 credit for international calls is a winner for me. I assume there's no LTE,
[Motorola Atrix HD] skuly:
I just saw a guy handing out lycamobile booklets, I told him have the service we talked a minute..I mentioned my plan and 2g ..he claimed it goes to 3g after that 50mb of 4g...I hope that's true. 3g is like up to 800kbs or something iirc...so that would be great.
[Motorola Atrix HD] kwonic:
That sounds like a pretty sweet phone plan. I might switch over to it once my contract ends. Do let us know if there are any problems you may run into.:good:

1 month of service and I'm happy so far, feels like as time goes by my service becomes more stable. The first 2 weeks I was losing service often and had problems sending texts and had a few calls drop.. but been good the past week or so.
[Motorola Atrix HD] diamond12:
Gave them a try as well. I only used them temporarily to place international calls but the one time that I did it whle driving I didn't see any difference with the T-Mobile service. So far,

- Call quality to landlines in Europe was excellent.

- Call quality to cell phones in Europe was decent. On a single incidence the volume was too loud and it distorted. I don't think this was Lycamobile's problem.

- I can't get the online recharge to work. I enter all my info and at the end I get the message the transaction failed. I see the temporary authorization on my credit card, and it later goes away. I was only able to add credit by going to a local cell phone store.

- Customer service is in India. They are not allowed to request credit card information, so they couldn't do the recharge.

- Online customer service only got me the autorespond email and nothing after that.

- Calls (pay as you go) are charged at 20+ seconds longer than the call as timed by the phone itself.

- The sim card doesn't have the APN info for data. I didn't want to use data, so I didn't enter an APN.

- International roaming in Europe worked fine and at 46¢/min it beats AT&T and T-Mobile's $1.29, $1.39 or $1.79, and matches what European pay as you go carriers charge when roaming within Europe.

Given that I couldn't get any credit card to process on their website, I couldn't buy a sim card from their website either. One store sold them for $10, another for $5, and they go for 99¢ on eBay.

I think I'm going to try h2o next. Their $49/mo plans are very comparable: unlimited voice, domestic and international texts, 1GB data. Lycamoble gives $20 credit for international calls (1¢/min land-8¢/min cell in Europe) whereas h2o has unlimited landline (certain countries) and gives $40 credit for 20-30¢/min (in Europe) calls to cell phones. h2o also has mms but doesn't roam internationally.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skuly:
Lyca sends free sims. And the first time I called customer support the person sounded Indian but every time after that I have gotten customer support from the UK.
[Motorola Atrix HD] diamond12:
Sims are free but they charge $7 for shipping and handling.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skuly:
Oh thats new..there wasn't a shipping fee ...but you can get them for a dollar or less from amazon or eBay .
[Motorola Atrix HD] diamond12:
Updates:

- Online recharge works for me now

- Lycamoble responded via email that calls are billed from the time the call is placed (including ring time)
[Motorola Atrix HD] legendnexus:
yeah i also get mine for free about a month ago, happy w the service so far! :good::good:
[Motorola Atrix HD] diamond12:
They did end up losing some text messages for me. I confirmed that these were sent as SMS and not MMS.

Also, they automatically put me on the $39 plan without me doing so, when I added $40 credit in my account. Even though I requested to cancel the auto-renew and got the confirmation text, I still got a text on the renewal date that there were insufficient funds to renew my plan.

Other annoyances:

There is no voicemail integration. I never got the voicemail notification icon when I had voicemail. They sent a text message instead. Also, the voicemail service number did not get automatically integrated and I had to program it myself.

My number did not show in the phone info screen. Instead it showed +10000000000.
[Motorola Atrix HD] legendnexus:
I also noticed international SMS plan doesn't work or I'm using some other APN settings. Can anyone confirm?

I'm using Google voice so MMS is no big deal for me actually. I don't use anyways lol.

I also don't what why the number appears like that but they have a dial up combination that shows the number on your screen, I guess it was *613#

And my phone always shows R (stands for roaming) and doesn't show the data speed letter like 4g 3g etc

Did anyone have the same issue too?

Note: I currently break my Atrix HD these were the issues I faced when it was working.
[Motorola Atrix HD] skuly:
I used the 29$ plan for a few months and it was good service, i hardly use my phone so i stopped using a plan a few months ago and i had like 17$ on my account, atm it's only down to $8, at 2c per min ,since i don't text i am only paying a few $ a month for my service.
[Motorola Atrix HD] diamond12:
I didn't have either of these issues.
[Motorola Atrix HD] legendnexus:
Can you share your APN settings?
[Motorola Atrix HD] diamond12:
I switched to Spot Mobile yesterday so I can't see on my phone now but I had the recommended settings on the Lycamobile page:

APN: data.lycamobile.com

Hi all,

does anyone using Lycamobile UK with ZOPO ZP700 ?

I can not get internet working with this phone (android 4.2)

I have set all as it should be but with no result.

Thanks for the info

I been Using Lyca mobile awhile now and just found out incoming texts are free, that is pretty cool. 2cents per minute and 4cents per outgoing text saves me a lot of $.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattjhsn:
Is MMS working on Lycamobile US yet? Mine has never worked. I started in April 2014.
[Motorola Atrix HD] mwb1100:
Lyca has never supported MMS yet.

They have announced a move to a new "Lycamobile Plus" service that will supposedly support MMS; however, even though it's all over their website as of a couple weeks ago, it doesn't seem to be up and running yet.

[Google Chromecast] GatorsUF:
I saw in the packaging that it says AC power is "recommended", so naturally I wanted the best possible experience and hooked mine up with AC power. I was just curious why this is? It would be much easier (and more portable) if I just used USB, but what am I losing by doing this?

I assumed this had to do with the CEC options to allow my TV to power on thru the Chromecast, however I have been unsuccessful in making that work fully. It will turn the TV on only if I turned it off while on the correct input for the chromecast...so kinda useless so far.
[Google Chromecast] paperWastage:
USB power might not be enough to drive the usb stick, while that AC adapter is guaranteed to deliver 850mAh

if your TV's USB is part of an unpowered hub, and you have other devices(or internal devices) powering off that hub, the chromecast might not get enough amperage (500mAh/port per USB standard)
[Google Chromecast] GatorsUF:
Cool what would be the result of not enough mAh? Meaning if my USB port powers the device am I good, or will I suffer some Wi-Fi signal loss if the mAh is too low?
[Google Chromecast] ChrisNee1988:
I think it just wouldn't turn on.

Another benefit of AC power is that when you hit cast something, it'll automatically turn on the TV.
[Google Chromecast] GatorsUF:
That is what I was curious of. So the auto turn on feature won't function on USB power? Only A/C power?
[Google Chromecast] ChrisNee1988:
Well the chromecast needs to be on already for it to turn on the TV.

If the TV is off, the chromecast won't be getting any power so you need to turn on the TV to turn on the Chromecast.
[Google Chromecast] GatorsUF:
Right, not a big deal for me since that feature doesn't seem to work on my TV anyways. I am using AC power atm. If that's all I'm missing I might aim for portability.

Thanks
[Google Chromecast] lowandbehold:
I'm using USB power off of the TV and have no issues with anything..

Hi, it seems like most video players are not working on android 4.3. I use archos & mxplayer and both are not working. I just recently tried vplayer and even though it works I want a player that can download subtitles on the fly. Can someone please recommend any compatible options !!!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] JHaste:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] zeppelin101:
I'm not sure if it supports subtitle downloading, but the VLC Android beta I installed yesterday played back a 1080p movie with subtitles flawlessly. So I would highly recommend that. I honestly didn't know that certain movie players on Android download subs automatically, but if you are transferring movie files manually, can't you also retrieve the subs on your PC, just as you did the with the actual movie file(s)?

You can also load it with the custom plugin which decodes DTS as well anything you throw at it. I like MX player better with the plugin though, since it enables you to amplify sound by upto 400%
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] RR215:
I have MX player version 1.7.18 installed.....are you saying there is a plug in you can add for extra volume? Do you have to be rooted to do so?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] MeS117:
Have not yet tried MX Player but am using BS Player and have no reason to use anything else. Great gesture controls, plays nearly all file formats, searches for subtitles online if not already downloaded, and allows streaming over local area network. This feature alone is a seller for this app (even though I am using the free version which still includes all of these features).

Overall, highly recommend BS Player.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] sohancool:
Nope, if you are rendering using the H/W+ or S/W decoder, in the audio options, you can boost the volume till 200%. That works out pretty well for me.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] RR215:
Ok, I have the arm7 MX player installed. I was wondering if I should of installed the NEON version or not....I am not sure if the N7 2013 is a NEON CPU?

I can play various "on-board" video files and go up to 200% volume no problem. But if I play a play a audio stream from a website radio station stream....the volume boost will not be allowed to go over !00%.

This is what I am looking to do....boost a URL radio station stream when i use the 3.5 headset jack to connect to a boom box. The audio out from the 3.5 socket is on a different chip or something as it plays much softer than the volume out to the physical speakers it seems.

I guess I am looking for a app to boost the audio output of the headphone 3.5 jack without rooting...... like many others?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Themes and Apps] sohancool:
Yup, that is a different case. Most probably an audio booster.
