Well they still haven't released the Off-Contract version of the device, so still not sure of the price on that. But if the price is the same, then there's no reason to get the Moto X on contract for 200 as opposed to the Nexus off contract for 200.
[Nexus 4 General] Devhux:
As a baseline, Rogers in Canada is selling the Moto X for $549 off-contract. While that isn't necessarily what it will cost in the States, I'm sure it will be pretty close. Heck, on a 2-year term Rogers is selling it for less than AT&T ($169)

Hi every1,

My friend has a new xperia J and whenever hes getting calls, the sound from the other side of the call sounds "blurry" (Like what happens when u play music too loud and there are background noises). I tried lowering the voice but no help.

Any ideas that might help fix this issue?

It has android 4.0.4
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] bukra:
bump....

Please help. Let me know if i've done something wrong / if i weren't clear...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
Ok... I have gone round and round and round and round with AT&T on this issue. My data is nearly unusable while on a call. Most of the time it times out, and when it does work, it is ridiculously slow.

I have gone through the stores, technical support, wrote their corporate headquarters (which got no response whatsoever), Twitter, and finally I filed a complaint with the FCC.

The FCC complaint is where I am now, and they want to work with me on this issue. They keep focusing on the towers in my area (although it happens EVERYWHERE), and my phone (even though this is my second phone). Basically I am tired of wasting my time with this issue, and I want to point them to this thread to tell them this this is NOT just me. Maybe it is the Note 2, but I think it is their network. Hopefully this thread will tell me AND THEM.

So with that said, I would love for everyone to post their City/State, and 2 speed tests (one while on a call and one while not on a call). Not moving would be preferable.

I will post mine shortly.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Not sure why you so frustrated:confused:. But signal's are suppose to drop while on a call!! Your using data, and yes we can be on the web and be on a call at the same time. I've been doing it since I was first on AT&T. :thumbup:

But I'm thinking it's your area or the modem. Here's my results after reading your post. I decided to go out for breakfast and perform this test to see if it was that BAD! :what:

Here's my results:

NO CALL HERE

ON CALL NOW

Still above 10 mb down. BUT IT DID DROP DRASTICALLY BECAUSE I'M NO LONGER ON LTE CONNECTION.

Just my 2¢®
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
To answer your question, I am upset because they advertise themselves as being able to use voice and data simultaneously and I can barely use my data while on a call. Most of the time it times out and I constantly have to redo my request. I think my problem is the ability to send data (which include acknowledgements and the request). I don't so much mind that it slows down, but being nearly unusable is a whole other story.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
And that I have been able to do always. Be on a call and the web. But I understand your frustration on it not writing when you want. And it being so slow.

Not sure what Rom, modem your using? But I don't really see that much of a problem. Unless I'm inside of a metal building!!

Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
Yeah look at my on call upload speed compared to you. Definitely a problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
I agree with you completely. On that note!:eek: What modem are you using. Take a screen shot of your about phone. Just curious if that is what is causing your problem. Wondering if your on the latest modem release..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tramane:
As an RBS Engineer I can explain why this happens to you.

Its due to a few reasons

1. What frequency is 1st carrier in your market 1900mhz or 850mhz

2. How many carriers are in your particular area (the most i have seen is 5 in the major metro areas)

3. How far away the next tower is to you

4. How saturated each carrier is

Whwn testing a new LTE site i will get 30-50mbps download and 20mbps up

Thats cuz im the ONLY one on the carrier at the time.

So a tower is made up of carriers, each carrier has sectors with a corresponding antenna that face a different direction (Alpha Beta Gamma)

You have multiple carriers in areas where theres heavy traffic.

now back to your phone its multi banded 1900, 850, 700/2100(lte)

If your market is 850 first carrier and 850 second carrier your data while on the phone will be almost non existent becuase that band on your phone is in use with your call. But if you have 850 1st carrier then 1900 second carrier or vice versa then your speeds will be decent. For whatever reason when you place a call your data automatically switches to HSPA most likely due to the VOIP on the LTE band leaving only the 3g band for data. Now I dont engineer the network itself becuase I dont understand why LTE isnt left open for data while were on calls.

I dont know if i confused you more or if that helped.

Hope it helped though

Its like a highway

A carrier is a single highway with multiple lanes 850mhz 1900mhz 700mhz(for lte 1st carrier) and 2100 (for lte 2nd)

If your area has only 2 carriers 850mhz and 850mhz its like 2 lanes on a highway going in the same direction and the other side of the highway is blocked

If its 850mhz and 1900mhz but there is heavy traffic and not enough carriers its like bieng stuck in 5 o clock traffic and trying to turn around. Its busy on both lanes so everything is slow

Each carrier adds lanes for traffic in a typical metro area you will see someting like

1st carrier 850mhz

2nd 850mhz

3rd 1900mhz

4th 850 mhz

5th 1900 mhz

LTE 1st carrier 700mhz

LTE 2nd Carrier 2100mhz

Thats a lot of lanes for traffic
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
Well it seems to happen everywhere that I go which is as far as 70 miles in any direction. The big 3 are in my area (Sprint, AT&T, and Verizon) as well as T-Mobile and Metro (but I am not sure if Metro is their own or they use other carriers).

The major metro areas that I visit are Tampa and Orlando and they do the same thing. I live in a rural area (so the towers are not very saturated), and there is a tower about 1.5 miles (tops) in either direction of me.

I am not sure what frequency my area is. How can I tell?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] saturnspike:
This is expected. AT&T doesn't support voice over LTE yet, so when you place a phone call the modem needs to switch back to the 3G/Fake 4G HSPA+ network. I'm guessing you just have poor 4G reception. Can you disable LTE and then do a speedtest on the regular 4G network?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
Prior to the LTE implementation I was getting far better speeds on the HSPA+ network..

How do I disable LTE to get a current HSPA+ test?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] saturnspike:
Looks like this might be the easiest way: http://forums.androidcentral.com/t-...3-you-can-disable-hspa-too-2.html#post2551614

Edit: while on a call I get 1663Kbps down and just 93Kbps up, so this might not be unique to you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
On HSPA+ I get 2.2 meg down and almost 1 meg up (910k).

FAR better than what I get while on a call in an LTE area.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] G7Baker:
OK after reading this thread. Do y'all think this problem will be fixed for the Note 3 because I read the note 3 will have the strongest LTE chip available? Or will it be determined on how heavy data traffic is on your frequency?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
At&t hasn't supported voice+LTE data. Its the original voice+3G data. Its not the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tramane:
A given market can be very large it can encompass a whole state. I work in the south texas market which is basically EVERYTHING south of killeen texas. I have driven as far as 6hrs to south padre from austin and I remain in the same market. That was almost 400 miles south. Houston is part of the same market as well as all the way to east to the border of lousiana.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
ranger - thanks but that doesn't explain the problems I experienced.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
So how can I determine the frequency of my market to answer your original inquiry??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
I was answering G7Baker's question about the note 3 . . . but ut does answer yours. At&t says simultaneous data and voice, but they don't say LTE, for the reason I gave. So to be accurate, your test should be voice+data versus 3G data alone.

If you don't mind, what are you trying to do while on a call?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
Nothing crazy... Even simple web browsing - 8 times out of 10 times out and I have to resubmit the request.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
So what is your 3G speed? I'm guessing the 3G network is very busy because most iPhones are 3g.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
Since I am in an LTE area, it was posted early on that the speeds that are relevant are my 4G speeds (the HSPA+ speeds), and my 1st or 2nd post shows screenshots while on a call and off a call.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
But your phone switches to 3G when you are using voice, so the 4G speed is irrelevant. Its not a correct comparison.

So when you are voice+data, on that 3G network it is very crowded.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
Why does my phone say 4G when I am on a call then?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] dcjr99:
Because instead of it being called 3G everyone switched the term over to 4G in which is pretty close to the same thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
So how can I test my 3G speeds in a LTE area in order to answer the question?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] tramane:
I dont know if theres a way to know what first carrier is for civilians.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] spycedtx:
Tramane:

Thanks for the insight, and whoever else clarified voice still isn't on lte. I guess that explains why my tethering stops sharing access when I'm on the phone.

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question

http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] petard:
It does not explain that. Tethering should still work while on a call. The phone falls back to 3G data when on a voice call but it's still connected.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
Do you have a tethering plan?

The specs I read say voice+data but it doesn't mention tethering.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] BigBison420:
go to >> Settings >>> about >>> Status >> mobile network type = On AT&T it would say LTE or "14"

You can always use Speedtest.net app - but this uses a lot of data so only do it a couple times
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] spycedtx:
Well, crap. Then I don't know why my laptop or tablet lose all connectivity to the outside world when I answer the phone. :/

I've had several weeks of frequent crashing with the stock browser, including associated crashes in Pulse and other apps that use it. I searched high and low to no avail but finally came across a one line post elsewhere that seems to have solved my problem (24 hrs + stable).

The issue was caused by a Google search setting that may have gotten changed some time ago during an update (grrr). If you have this problem, go to the Google search page in your browser, then click Settings > Search Settings, and under "Precise Location", choose "Do not allow". I cleared the browser cache afterwards and for good measure, rebooted to recovery and wiped the cache and dalvic cache. Hope this helps someone else as it was a nasty problem.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xephrey:
I'm on ARHD GE and when I check my recovery setup in the CWM app, both ClockwordMod Recovery and Team Win Recovery Project are listed as 'Recovery Already Installed'. Right now TWRP is the dominant one that I go into when I go into recovery. This is a good thing. I prefer TWRP. However, sometimes when I reboot, it hangs at the HTC screen until I hold the power button for one second - then it boots. Then I get a message saying that the SU binary is out of date and I don't know how to update it and the background's different. Anyknow know what's going on and how to go to only one recovery? Also: some Xposed modules don't work and I think it's because of this weird issue, cause I know all the ones I have running should work fine with 4.3 GE. Anyway.. any tips you guys could throw my way would be appreciated.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sumedha Kapoor:
I don't think so, I am having a car and and wall charger at 2.1a and I didn't face any problems till now, infact it charges faster than the normal one. But, You should try it at your own risk. :p
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nameless One:
A USB charger, like a battery or any other source of charge, cannot force more charge through a device than the device will allow.

Your phone may well charge faster than it would using the official charger, but I dare say it is safe to assume that Sony (a company that has been making electronic products probably since before you were born) are no fools and would have set a safe limit to how much current the phone will sink.

It's like having a tiny 12V light, enough AAA cells to deliver 12V, and a 12V car battery. The car battery may be able to deliver several thousand times the current that the AAA cells can but the light will shine no brighter and will suffer no damage from the car battery because it will only take the current that its internals allow.

[Sony Smartwatch] courtmagician:
Background first: I've owned the Sony Smartwatch since the beginning of the year and other than the usual charging issue, it was working fine for the first few months. I ran into a point where no matter what I did, I couldn't get it to work and then found the "solution" (for me, anyway), which was doing some scraping of the connections and it would charge, but not all the time, it still took some tweaking and pressure points, etc. I believe in between the last time I wore it regularly until about 2 weeks ago, it was working fine, but I hadn't used it for about a month or so prior to that. And now the accelerometer does not seem to be working anymore and I'm not sure if it's from the latest software/firmware upgrade or something else I did. It does not vibrate when coming on or turning off and definitely doesn't work when I get an alert.

So, the question: Has this happened to anyone else? I have a Galaxy SIII and have had it the entire time I've used the Smartwatch. I have not upgraded the ROM on the phone, and only the Smartwatch/Smartconnect apps and the firmware on the watch have been changed, and as far as I know, it was never dropped or harmed enough to jar the accelerometer, and was in a drawer waiting to be used.

This week I picked up a Pebble and have found that it's usefulness goes beyond the Smartwatch, even though there might be more power in the Sony. Because of the frustration of the charging and the usefulness of the Pebble, I've opted to sell the Sony, and I'm hoping someone out there has been able to solve this so that I can actually sell a functioning watch. Also, if anyone is interested in making an offer the way it is, feel free to PM me.

It used to be custom roms added functionality and speed or filled in when manufacturers lagged in updating Android. Now they do virtually nothing. Neither functionality or speed is an issue any longer and updating Android doesn't seem necessary. I tried just about all the custom roms including CyanogenMod when I had Note 2 and if anything it limited functionality, did nothing for speed and was one small step ahead of the manufacturer in updating Android. I find various launchers such as Nova, Apex, Smart and Action add the functionality we use to only get with custom roms. With the latest processors speed is absolutely not an issue. Updates to Android have been minimal since Ice Cream was released. What's the point? What do we gain with a Cyanogen or custom rom?

Questions which are spiritual in nature go to the off -topic section :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Style68:
I would have to agree. I find that as long as my phone is rooted and I remove unnecessary apps it performs just as good or better than custom ROMS. Throw in a cool Launcher and I am happy. The irony is that I still end up installing custom ROMS. Go figure.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Nuwidol:
For a start if gives people options to explore something new. A lot of people prefer vanilla Android too (Especially when given the option of Touchwiz vs CM/PA/ETC). Once you're on a custom ROM you can then mess & play with other stuff too such as ribbons, boot animations, statusbar mods, transparency controls, colour profiles, different sound enhancements, hybrid/tablet layouts etc etc. Android was designed as an open platform & manufacturers of hardware decided to try & lock us out of all those options & force their own UIs on us.

I'm not trying to start an argument here but if you don't like having any control over your devices then I hear a company called Apple make a phone you might like...
