A provider that sucks plus a service that sucks balls.Period....

Bad voice quality, no account usage history,unknown data limits, no voice or video streaming, no YouTube, no Pandora,no tethering, no technical support and idiot customer care reps who don't speak English ... oh wait, you can get throttled for using few hundreds of megs of data, and still throttled even in next month cycle...Want some more ?

IBTL by the way....

I was thinking about switching straight talk...do I understand you correctly? YouTube, Pandora etc is blocked?

I can't speak specifically to Straight Talk, but can to Net10 which is virtually the same thing and all those streaming and video services work just fine, YouTube, Pandora, Netflix, SiriusXM, GoogleVideo, Play Music, etc. all function just fine onNet10 AT&T SIM on the Skyrocket.

I have straight talk I listen to Pandora 8 hours a day on straight talk I use next flex once a week one time I was getting 24k download put I download 3 gb in days but after it's time to get a card it jump back up there no lte in my area but I get between 300 to 700 k download speed

Would I have to unlock a Skyrocket to use it with Straighttalk?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] acejavelin:
Depends on the SIM you ordered and the version you have of Skyrocket... If it is an AT&T Skyrocket and you get a StraightTalk AT&T SIM, or If you have a T-Mobile Skyrocket and get a T-Mobile ST SIM, then you do not have to unlock. If you have a Rogers SGH-i727R or something, or trying use a T-Mobile StraightTalk SIM in an AT&T Skyrocket, then you would have to unlock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kevria:
Thanks. It would probably be an AT&T Skyrocket model (I currently have an AT&T Captivate with a bad gps) with my current Straighttalk AT&T Sim.

Im not worried about the steps of unlocking it since I already tracked the instructions down for that just wondering if I would need to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] freestylejunki32:
the new Straight talk att sim DOES enable LTE. Just changed 4 days ago. Requires a new sim to get the LTE tho even if you already use ST ATT.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yogi-4:
Yep, just ordered mine. They are having a sale 6.99 with free over nite shipping. You do have to select over nite shipping in order to get shipping free. LTE is advertised. I'm currently using the E71 SIM in my skyrocket. I just wanted to go legit.

Edit: Also, don't forget to put "hipri" in the "APN Type" along with the default,supl,mms. I always put it in there just because but saw no real difference until today. The towers I'm always connected to must not be that congested because I always got good service. Flashed the new AOKP ROM and forgot to add it. Well I was in the city today and couldn't get hardly anywhere with facebook or here at XDA. Added the "hipri" and wow, instant gratification. Facebook loaded like I was on wifi as well as these forums. Will update again once my new sim card gets here.

Also I wanted to add that I have no problems viewing youtube, iheart radio and whatever else a previous poster mentioned. Been with straightalk 2 years now and not once have I had any trouble with any app with them. If you just keep your daily bandwidth under 150 megs and your monthly less than 2 gigs, you should be fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Simba.7:
I don't know what you're smoking, but I've had ST on my Captivate (and now my Skyrocket) and have never had an issue. I stream Rdio and backup my photos on Google. No issues at all.

I can do Hangouts, Skype, and other services. The voice quality is rather good. I also stream YouTube and tether (rarely).

I would suggest installing CM10.2 for the Skyrocket. It runs really well and has built-in tethering. You also get to update your phone to Android 4.3 instead of being stuck on 4.1.2.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Why would anyone be stuck on 2.3? We have official jellybean.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Simba.7:
Yep.. You're right (4.1.2). Unfortunately, it looks like it stops there with the "official" ROMs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Yeah I don't see the skyrocket getting any more updates. Oh well, it was a great phone and I've moved on anyways.

As far as straight talk, it sucks. I could never use it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Simba.7:
I don't have a problem with it. Sure beats paying ~$100/mo on a contract.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dante501:
Yes skyrocket has an official jelly beans release. U need to download kies to ur PC and then when connecriing ur phone to lies u will get a messages for the official jelly bean update. Just did it for my GF skyrocket. But like I said u need kies. It isn't a over air update. Here is also the official from Samsung describe way on how to update it to jelly bean http://m.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00047555&fm_seq=51638

I got the new sim card and through the website it took about 30 minutes to switch to the new sim. I'm on AOKP ROM and LTE came up instead of H+. Really liking the speed. Definitely worth up upgrading to the new sim card at that price. The new APN is as follows...

APN Name: Straight Talk

APN: tfdata

Port: 80

MMSC:http://mms-tf.net

MMS Proxy: mms3.tracfone.com

MMS Port: 80

I'm providing this because I've changed ROMS twice and that APN was erased and for some reason it's hard to find on the net and the website wouldn't accept my sim # to get the APN. Why you have to input that is beyond me.

Is anybody having issues with MMS and this service? My buddy just got 4g Straight Talk on his skyrocket and has everything works but MMS. We tried the APN settings via the website and a few other things we found online, but he still cannot receive MMS or send them. I also stock upgraded the phone via Kies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yogi-4:
Sometimes I have trouble when changing ROMS. Sometimes a reboot or two will fix it for me. Might have to call customer service.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] beachmiles:
Make sure you are not using ad blocking software, it can interfere w MMS. On another note does anyone know a trick to get WCDMA preferred option to stick in network settings? Was stoked to get LTE on straight talk till i found the ping time is worse the speeds are the same and it eats my battery
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hotbyz168:
Search for the network manually. Than you are able to chose.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TheRPGLPer:
Actually now the AT&T sims for StraightTalk have 4G LTE and they do now specify you get 2.5 GB of High Speed data before it is throttled down to 2G speeds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] freestylejunki32:
Finally a clear cut answer from them. Let's see how true to there terms they are though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TheRPGLPer:
It makes me wonder. Last month I used around 2.9 GB and it was left alone. Kept the full LTE speed all month.

You can grab a NET10 or Strait Talk SIM on eBay for as low as $.10 and free shipping. I have been using NET10 for 3 years now and have not had any troubles with their coverage, network speeds etc. but I do have to agree that their customer service absolutely sucks. I have found from past experiences that its way less of a headache to set up your own account on their website and go that route rather than dealing with them on the phone...

Straight Talk's customer service is no better. They provide a generic copy and paste response for any online inquiries. The reps I've talked to via phone are redundant as well. I rarely need to contact them, so overall I'm satisfied with the service.

BTW - Straight Talk just recently upped their 4G speed cap from 2.5 Gigs to 3 Gigs. Can anyone testify that this is actually true? I only saw it on the website. Haven't tried it yet.

Where do I make the change and how do I compile and sign the apk to get it not to bootloop?

Hello everyone, sorry if this has been ask before, but i really need help..i see that the update 4.2.2 has come out recently but as far as i know only in europe..so my question is, does anyone know if the update will come out soon on any part of america? Im from Venezuela and i have my HOX from movistar, and the update obviously doesn't show, not yet at least..and honestly, i dont think that update will come any time soon or ever..so i decided to update my phone like a custom rom..but the problem is that i dont know what is that CID that everyone's talking about and dont know how to know mine..if anyone can help me in any way..the only thing that i can say about my phone right know is, that the bootloader its still lock, i have no root, and offcourse no custom recovery..so, i have an stock phone, and i really want to update my phone! :(..i prefer an OTA update than to flash it from recovery, but i will try everything

PS: the english, you know sorry!
[HTC One X] Craiglivesey94:
Firstly you need to find out if or not your device is AT&T. If so, then unlucky, because the update (as of yet) is only out for the international Tegra 3 version.

Your CID can be found by downloading a free app from the play store. Just search 'CID checker', but at the minute they are pretty much useless to pre determine any updates.

If your device is an international version, either wait with everyone else or manually flash the odexed stock 4.2.2 version onto your phone (this only works for Tegra 3).
[HTC One X] omar_bazaraa:
CID (Carrier ID) is something like product code for a certain region.

To know your CID you can try this: CID Getter

Take a look here: [Guide] -The Ultimate Stock to Custom ROM Awesomeness thread - Noob friendly

This thread will help you in understanding ROM flashing methods.

Make sure that your phone is EndeavorU not Evita
[HTC One X] seleu:
Thank you! The app says my CID is BSTAR301, do i ever get the ota update? Or the only way is to flash an stock rom?

And the other thing says if only for ICS, and i have JB, but no 4.2.2 obviously.
[HTC One X] seleu:
No my HOX is no AT&T, and i dont thing my carrier (movistar) bought the phone from AT&T..it has to be the international versión because is a Tegra 3 :)..the only thing i dont want from flashing a stock rom its Bécquer i dont want to lose my phone configurations and start all over again :(

Thats what i love from ota updates, you update your phone but dont lose everything and your phone stay the same but with the upgrades :p
[HTC One X] Craiglivesey94:
Then wait until the update is out for you.
[HTC One X] M@c|-|oR:
Speaking of that (while the thread is still open :) ) - is there any schedule from vodafone available? I couldn't find anything on their site.

Thank you very much! I wonder how I never thought of that?!?! :eek::silly:

Gophone att lets you get LTE data with their unlimited talk/txt/2gbs of data for 60. callingmart gets it down to 52. extra data is 10 bucks for 1gb!(optional if you need it)

Also you can use any att phone(including iphone 5) no jailbreaking or changing apn, everything will work out the gate!!! Go to corporate att store and get your sims for free! also have any issues you can go to the att store for help!

customer service is a million times better, and i got my s3 replaced through att cause it still had a year warranty through att. I bought the phone used of craigslist, and it stop charging after a month!

Also please note you dont get unlimited data with straight talk. while its cheap BUT with them turning off data for no reason, not telling people what the data limit is, horrible cs, As soon as i found out gophone was allowing ANY phone they sell on postpaid on prepaid(including iphone 5) AND allowing LTE data. i switched!!!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DMF1977:
You are correct sir! U only get about 2 gb a month with straight talk before u are throttled, happens to me every time at about my last week of service, and it is very annoying!! I will definitely be checking into this, but on another note, IPhone? Really??? I wouldn't take one if they were giving them away!! Hahaha...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pre4speed:
While you are right, I live no where near LTE so it doesn't bother me. And I don't call at&t for customer service anyway. They are useless there too. But gives people options. I'm still going for cheapest. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 903tex:
Yea i have a iphone 4s as a backup phone. As i was using it as a example because with st, you have to jailbreak to have mms, but with gophone everything works out the gate! which is a positive because alot of people may not want to tweak with their phone to get simple things to work. And what sold me was the warranty claim i got and im on prepaid! While i dont call customer service ever, it nice to know and a piece of mind that i HAVE cs when i need it. and with my area having lte it was a no brainer, and the fact that i can blow my data in a day if i wanted to. you pay for what your getting and KNOW what to except. i got throttled on st because one day i use over 100mb and some days later i get throttled to a useless speed that i cant do anything data wise without being around some wifi on my phone. The only thing st has going for it is it price, but for me and after tax with st, im paying 2-4 dollars more a month but im getting so much more in return!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ycavan:
I've had ST for a while now & I like the service. It's $90/mo after taxes for my 2 phones ( mine & my wife's ) since we pay $42.50/mo w/ the autopay discount deal they had @ the time.

No CS? No problem. I've had AT&T since 2000 until I moved to ST last year. AT&T's CS wasn't very good @ all... it took 3 days of the 5th degree & 3 "senior" techs to finally diagnose one of my phones as non-working... @ this was w/ a family plan that ran us $170/mo after taxes.

The other thing was the removal of my grandfathered plan of unlimited data + 1500 texts for $40/mo when I bought my GS3.

So.. $42.50/mo w/ 2 gigs of data ( throttled after ), unlimited talk & unlimited text is just fine for us. The Iowa City, Ia area doesn't have LTE & I can barely get stable 3G out here; so I'm not concerned about the loss of LTE.

I work at Walmart and we stopped carrying the straight talk/net ten carry over package because they don't sell and from what I've been told the only way to buy straight talk att sims was Amazon or eBay since st didn't sell them anymore. So don't expect to walk into wall mart and buy the sim, they don't do that anymore.

Just looked at the straight talk sight and they do have are "compatible" sims so now I can tell people to go buy it online and leave me alone :P 14.99 for a sim 45$ "unlimited" everything you'll be paying 63.59$ USD your first go round. In new York at least. Home to 8% sales tax

Don't expect 4g or to be able to use a 4g phone easily. From what st customer service told us is on iphones especially most features don't work, for instance MMS only works from one iPhone to another something im sure you could fix in the APN settings

If you don't mind me asking, where do you live? Do you use YouTube? What are your typical speeds? Can you stream with no problems? Stories differ so much from person to person, I just want to make sure all questions are answered if I use this. I have the option of doing the family mobile deal with Walmart and getting an employee discount, which brings the monthly down to like $25, but as its T-Mobile I'll have to do one of the mods to be able to use it. I'm not ever in an area of LTE so I really don't care about that. I just want to make sure streaming (music, video, YouTube) is allowed with straighttalk. Also, if I take my number with me that I've had for 10 years and then find its not for me, do I lose my number?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DMF1977:
I live in Southern Indiana. Yes I use YouTube, no issues buffering or anything. I typically keep my data usage to just under 100 mb/day. I'm not positive on the keeping your phone # part? Seems like I get a lot of connection time outs now that I've switched APN to mvno???
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pre4speed:
I wonder what the difference is with that mvno. The number thing is my biggest concern. I've heard that with prepaid, you can't take your number. Thanks for your reply and hope you get the connection thing worked out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thanitos:
Moving your number to straight talk requirements - you're line must currently be active. There cannot be any outstanding balances or holds on the account, if you are not out of contract yet early termination fees apply.

A) if you bought a new phone to use with straight talk be sure to buy a time card and call straight talk for activation. Choose the option to bring a number from another company and have ready any account information (passwords ect.)

B) turning an old phone into a straight talk phone. Buy a straight talk keep your old phone kit in accordance with your previous carrier. Ex. Att will need a new sim card sent before activation. Verizon just need to call and buy the byop kit.

If you want to move your number away from straight talk the above applies for having an active line. Never ever cancel a number you want to transfer..

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DMF1977:
Do u have any idea why apns (at least used to be) different from an actual straight talk phone, to that of the byop? I had a straight talk galaxy s2, took the original sim out of it, trimmed it, and put it in my s3 back in may, and used the original APN of wap.tracfone without issues until I had to switch to att.mvno about a week or so ago? I'm pretty sure I read somewhere awhile back that data was supposedly slower on byop plans with mvno? Now what, they're all the same?!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thanitos:
well keep in mind straight talk has to use att/Verizon/T-Mobile towers they don't own their own towers. With the att sims coming back its probably a new contract and new rules between the two. If you get 4g internet that's new because straight talk for a while now has only offered 3g and only supported 3g phones or lower. So that would explain why the s3 needed a new APN for the 4g network.
