Wifi tether wasn't working on the S4 or One, I just had both phones on Sprint and T-Mobile with various roms and kernels. The only other phone I considered was the Note 3 but I can't stand the home button, would have liked the extra real estate but the G2 is still manageable for me to use one handed and a stylus would have been wasted on me.
[G2 General] 20degrees:
This phone doesn't even need roms tbh.

I'd buy this phone all over again. No other phone feels like this one a atm.

LG G2
[G2 General] compumasta:
I was following every phone to come down the pipe for the last six months or more. I had an LG Nitro HD for my last phone and my first was the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. The nitro was terrible. The only time that phone ran right was on stock gingerbread. The development was fairly slow and the community small because it was att only and wasn't popular at that. I was about as put off by LG as they come.

Two days ago, I bought the G2, and I absolutely love it. The battery life really is phenomenal. I say this because it had kept up with my initial high usage love for a new phone. I plugged in last night with 34% left after having almost six hours of screen on time at 80% brightness. The note 3 might be great,but then again it might not. Only 100mah larger battery with a .5in larger screen concerns me a bit. The processor is already insane in the G2 so that will likely not make a difference for a bit. The ram shouldn't be an issue for at least an upgrade cycle at minimum.

Honestly, the biggest difference between this and the nexus is battery and screen. Nexus is 5 in and only had 2300mah so unless Kit Kat has major battery improvements that phone was no longer a option for me. The tipping point for this phone over the moto x in my case? Development and community. This phone already has a larger forum Than the moto x. That's not the only determinant but helps significantly. Go check the nitro forum, this phone is already almost as large... this phone had root on day one I think it was and boot loader bypass within a week of launch. And a Rom 2days later. It may not be as fast some devices but that is still damn fast. Will this be a great dev phone? Too early to tell but it looks promising. And with the nexus being nearly identical hardware wise, that could help too.

Hope that helps.

Hello, after recently installing CleanRom 7.0 P1 I noticed that the volume keys would often get pressed in my pocket and wake up my phone, is it possible to disable this feature? I can't seem to find it anywhere in the normal settings
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Sluff:
If your phone is in your pocket how can you confirm that it's being awakened by the volume keys? I'm not getting this problem, so I was just wondering.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ethantarheels123:
hmm... I don't think cleanrom has volume key wake... it's essentially stock 4.2.2. You might be pressing the power button instead?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bokonon9:
Sometimes I feel like it's just me and maybe one other poor soul using this resilient device on T-Mobile's network.

If there's anyone else out there, let's use this thread to share advice and any experience we may have gathered individually.

Some things you could share:

- T-Mobile Plan

- Amount of time with T-Mobile and general review of service

- Why did you leave At&t and have you tried other mobile providers?

- Current ROM on your Infuse

- Do you use Wifi calling or Voip of any kind?

- Do you use T-Mobile apps (visual voicemail, etc..)

- Do you plan on upgrading from the Infuse anytime soon?

- Do you have any tips for other Infusers on the T-Mobile network?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bokonon9:
- T-Mobile Plan: $30 / month unlimited text and web (5gb full speed) and 100 minutes talk

- Amount of time with T-Mobile and general review of service: I've been with T-Mobile since January 2013. Service is decent in Southern California and I always get H+ while driving which is great for streaming music. In buildings I'll often get no service at all, especially older buildings. Luckily there is usually Wifi anywhere indoors. The 100 minutes of talk is awful and I always go over it which means 10 cents a minute, but you can't really beat that $30 / month price. I never really get passed 2GB of data even when I tether to my chromebook (yeah, Google sent me a Cr-48) or playbook.

- Why did you leave At&t and have you tried other mobile providers? I left At&t because I was on a family plan paying $35 / month for unlimited talk and text with 200mb / month. 200mb / month was absolutely terrible and I often had to go with no data for that last week. I believe that you should support a company that has a pricing model you agree with even there is a quality drop. I'm also a broke college student who doesn't have a steady job so T-mobile fits me well.

- Current ROM on your Infuse: I'm using SlimBean 7.8 on my Infuse right now. I usually use CM10, but I always liked the DPI of paranoid but hated the rest that came with it, so SlimBean is like my wet dream and it's been working fine so far. I was using GB roms for stability in the past, but nothing beats the beauty of JB on the Infuse.

- Do you use Wifi calling or Voip of any kind? I tried to set up VOIP in a few different ways when I first switched to T-mobile but I was never happy with the quality of calls. I'm sure there is a reliable way to set it up but I may be too lazy. I've never tried Wifi calling, even when I was on GB. It's tempting now, but I'm not ready to go back to GB right now.

- Do you use T-Mobile apps (visual voicemail, etc..): I use visual voicemail. It's actually pretty well done and makes me a little less upset that Google Voicemail doesn't work on prepaid T-Mobile plans.

- Do you plan on upgrading from the Infuse anytime soon?: I'm planning on getting the Nexus 4 when it's released (supposedly right after my birthday). My Infuse has a horribly cracked screen and it's time for an upgrade.

- Do you have any tips for other Infusers on the T-Mobile network?: Not really, that's why I made this thread. I'm only going to be around this forum for another month or so (ironic because I've been lurking sense I got the Infuse two years ago and now all of the sudden I have ten posts under my belt) and I want to get the most out of my Infuse T-Mobile combination before it's too late.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
I saw this in the Dev section:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1455264

The unlimited data plan is a good deal for $30/month.

Have you tried setting up a Google Voice account and use an app like GrooveIp?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gvoip&hl=en

These apps uses your mobile data and your google voice number to make calls using data without using your minutes

ymmv

[Samsung Infuse 4G] bokonon9:
qkster,

Thanks for the reply. I have considered that wifi calling build.prop change. It's very tempting, but I'm not ready to give up JellyBean (specifically the dpi on SlimBean, it makes the Infuse screen look amazing even when super cracked).

And yes I have a GV and have used GrooveIP. I made a post asking for advice back when I first got the plan, but no one replied. It seems the best VOIP options are paid and I'm not sure any of them are worth it.

I was going to go the route of setting up a routing server on my vpn and using an open source SIP client - the built in internet calling present in post Ice Cream Sandwich, but I never got around to it and eventually canceled that vpn, oh well.

By the way, I've always wanted to ask what you run on your Infuse specifically? I really appreciate your contributions of Heimdall and the EFS backup script. Both have saved my ass in the past.

Even though it's not always the most organized, this community has really made the Infuse what it is.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
I think the ROM really depends on how things suit your needs to tinker or to experiment.

ICS and JB offers more options for the i997. The costs are battery life, video recorder @ 720 and ?.

For the Infuse, I still prefer GB with Zen's Synthesis kernel.

(Nothing wrong with CM10+ - and I'M GLAD of work that has been done for it. After trying CM9 and CM10 for a brief period, I find myself falling back to the TW interface as a matter of preference.)

I have an older ATT voice plan with plenty of minutes so I have not had to search other alternatives.

I have a limited data plan, 200mb. I've done ok limiting my data use to email, IM etc.

It's not available on GB, but I do like the data management of JB and the ability to limit certain apps background data usage though.

I've tried GV with Groove IP and found it acceptable on home wifi. It's not the greatest but works well enough.

If you haven't, I would suggest trying the modded build prop for data calling.

Nothing to lose really. Just save a back up of the old build.prop.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] australix:
I'm also on the T-Mobile $30 plan. Great plan especially with discounts at Target + Redcard so the monthly price often works out to about $25 a month. No "maintenance fees" either.

For VOIP, I use:

Google Voice forwarding to a Callcentric number for inbound calls

Voice+ (callback) for outbound calls

Native Android SIP client connected to Callcentric

This is a free implementation. VOIP quality over 3G is good even in low signal areas. The only weaknesses to this solution are due to Android's poor SIP stack: no echo cancellation and limited codec support (G.711/PCM). CSipSimple solves both of these issues but I still prefer the native dialer for integration and overall user experience.

As far as T-Mobile service on the Infuse goes, go to airportal.de to check HSPA+ coverage. With a strong signal, I can pull 12-15Mbps, much better than the 6-8Mbps max on ATT. YMMV of course.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] De1one:
On my S3 when I am ready to take a pic or record a video. There is like a 3 second delay for the picture to come clear. I can see what I want to take a pic of but it is blurry for about 3 seconds then it focuses in. Has anyone else had this happen to their phone? If so how did you correct the problem?

Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
That's all really dependant on which rom your running and what camera it has. You are aware that on most of then you touch the screen on what you want it to focus on

Have a great day!

[HTC One V] Dbzavatar:
yea thats a real big problem, very few phones from vm have development on them
[HTC One V] Curtis1973:
ZTE is a company pretty much in the pocket of virgin mobile usa in the sense that they lock their devices boot system up so roming is a complete nightmare. check out the other zte branded devices by vm and youll notice outside of root..nothing has occured on those devices. and not for a lack of trying. the same goes with vm's kyocera branded devices. take a look at vm's dwindling line up of other manufacturers versus these "no brand" devices..most of them are zte or kyocera...avoid.

How to root for n00bs

Here's a step by step to root the ZTE Supreme for any n00bs like me who don't have a clue how to do it. Be sure to click on the "Thanks" button for member slate0554 on post #5 for letting us know this would work on the ZTE Supreme, and also give thanks to ishanbhatnagr96 on the "Xperia L Root" thread. This was done on Windows 7. This won't let you install any roms, just be able to install apps that require root.

1. While phone is unplugged, click on the menu key (bottom right) and select System settings, scroll down and select Connect to PC, and choose Connect to PC software.

2. Plug in the Supreme for the first time and see if the drivers for it install successfully, if it does you will see the green popup on your PC saying the drivers installed successfully. You can now jump to step 8.

3. Unfortunately mine did not. I got a red popup that said the drivers were not installed. So if this happens to you, disconnect the phone and go back to System Settings, Connect to PC, and choose Install driver.

4. Plug in the phone and wait for the AutoPlay window to pop up on the PC and click Run AutoRun.exe. If you don't get the AutoPlay window, go to Computer, right click on CD Drive (X: ) USB_Driver where X can be any letter, and choose Open. Then go into the Windows folder and select AutoRun.exe

5. Select English and click OK. On the Welcome to the Handset USB Driver Setup Wizard click Next. Click Next again to install in the default folder. Then Install, and Finish after it's done.

6. On the phone, bring down the top menu by sliding down from the very top and select Connected as an installer (touch for other USB options), and select Connect to PC Software.

7. After waiting about 30 seconds the little bubble will pop up on the bottom right saying ZTE Composite ADB Interface was installed correctly.

8. Now you can download the Xperia_L_ROOT.zip file from the link in post #16 and extract it wherever you like. Open the file run.bat (might not show the word "bat").

9. When the command prompt window comes up up just press any key like it says. Wait for the rooting process to complete (about a minute) until it says Exploit complete and press any key to reboot and exit. After pressing any key wait until the command prompt window closes (might take another minute), and the phone will automatically restart.

10. After it restarts go look in your apps and find SuperSU and you know the root was successful. Or you can download one of those apps that can check root status on the phone.

That's it, your ZTE Supreme is now rooted.

Touch

First stupid thought - reboot might help.:p

Other than that, I've found that when the charger is plugged in, the touchscreen is completely wonky! As soon as I unplug it, it works fine. I haven't had any problems with the screen while the phone is unplugged.
[HTC One V] cj_302:
Ok as to the screen problems after root I had to go into the recovery and wipe cache and now even on the charger it's perfectly fine! Nothing at all has happened since. Also I had virus from music downloader from Google play...
[HTC One V] morningsidesanitarium:
Ok, rooted. Now what's the best way to remove bloatware? Namely the real racing 3. I don't want it, but can't remove it. Titanium backup? And where to find adblock? None are in the store anymore it would seem???
[HTC One V] no99sqrd:
Do a Google search for "adblock xda" - Google took it off the Play Store because they say it violate their TOS so you have to sideload it.

Get root browser and go into system -> app and you can delete the apps from there. Just be VERY careful what you remove! If you delete something you need, you can totally bork your phone.

Although the Real Racing app is only 6.1MB, so I'm not sure how much you'll actually save.

Bad review

So here's my bad review on the phone. Like I said, it erased all my apps after activation, then I spent a couple of hours installing everything again. First day of finally getting my phone activated, and it died. The backlighting of the LCD panel died. So no matter what I tried, it would not light up again. They're sending me another, I guess I'll have to install everything again. I'm not pleased with their quality in manufacturing.

Mini-review ZTE N9810 "Supreme"

I can provide a brief review. I've had mine for not quite two weeks, so my experiences are subject to update. My observations here are probably a little random, but here goes:

GPS: seems to get a lock quicker and able to use more satellites in the fix than my old Virgin LG Optimus Elite. Was able to record with "My Tracks" my airline route on a recent business trip.

Screen:

- Roomy and clear. I likes it.

- Backlight is a little uneven, with some slightly darker patches noticeable when brightness is cranked up. Not bad, though.

4G:

- Screamingly fast when compared to 3G. One bug, sometimes upon power up, at the login screen instead of saying "Virgin Mobile" at the bottom, it says "No SIM Card". When that happens, there's no 4G, but the rest of the phone seems to function fine. Cycling the power once has always brought back the SIM card and 4G functionality when this has happened.

Speaker/hands free: Speaker is plenty loud, though there's a little distort, especially when cranked up. No reports on the other end of phone calls of particularly good or bad audio quality.
