*Edit looks like everyone that updated is keeping unlimited! If you selected pick up in store, you are probably ok. If the phone is shipping you might not keep unlimited, Verizon has caught it, and you contract isn't "official" until you activate the phone. So they are not breaching contract if it's changed before you activate. My apologies if this has been covered, didn't have time to reread the whole thread, and didn't want anyone to get burned.

It really hasn't been an issue with my wife and I. ..4 GB is cheaper than unlimited and I started using SD music from music unlimited but on a forum like this I'm sure there's a lot of people with questionable music uploaded to Google music. Just make a playlist of about 1000 songs 2.5 gb or so ans give up streaming. Cheaper bills and faster music skip Times

Upgraded to the G2 and kept my unlimited. Its the best surprise I've had in a long time and just in time for my birthday. I was expecting to be stuck on my Galaxy Nexus for another year but now I'm rocking enough technology to keep me happy three years at least :highfive:

I've been averaging 100gb a month so loosing my unlimited is not an option.

I ordered my phone Friday and as I was going through the process, i was not prompted to change data plans. At first i was leery but after getting my G2 yesterday and after activation i still have my unlimited data. So it is an awesome day.
[G2 General] Stigy:
My G2 is out for delivery today with my unlimited data still in tact. YAY!
[G2 General] caecusscius:
I'm on Verizon with Unlimited: and I did the trick where you add a line and choose an awesome phone (LG G2!) and then activate it, transfer the phone to your other account (the one with unlimited) and activate an old flip phone on the new line and cancel the data on the new plan. Costs me 9.99 a month to do this: but my wife's employer gives her a 22% discount on Verizon so its less really. I also have a flip phone that can make calls in an emergency or if I decide to digital detox...

AND I used the VERIZON30 discount code online to save $60 on phone.

I realized recently that this also allows me to upgrade again if I want- I still have an upgrade available on my Unlimited line: and I can transfer it to the flip phone, and upgrade it later on if I want, and transfer phones around again. Not that I want to upgrade... but just in case.
[G2 General] nqc:
This trick still works, in case anyone is wondering. I was able to do it a few days ago. I already had a dumbphone (in use) on my family plan, so I didn't have to actually pay extra or anything. I followed the Droid Life guide, making sure to activate the new smartphone first on the dumbphone line. I couldn't switch that line back to the dumbphone online (there was an error), but I called Verizon customer service and they did it for me instantly. Just make sure you note the device ID for the dumbphone before starting this process (it's available on Verizon's site, if you log in) - it'll make it super easy for the CS rep to switch that line back to the dumbphone if you can just tell them its device ID. After that, turn on the dumbphone, dial *228, then select option 1. That'll complete the reactivation process.

Finally, I just took the LTE SIM card out of my GNex and put it in my G2, which worked immediately and flawlessly. It's been smooth sailing from there. Verizon's site says that the contract on my smartphone line has been extended to Oct 2015, and it still lists the data as being unlimited. I'll have confirmation for sure that it'll work in the long run once the next billing period starts for me in a week or two.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_<3er:
Hey guys,

Just wanted to ask if anyone knows whether AT&T's "month-to-month" means that you have to activate the phone, with a new plan, on AT&T only. I talked to a Verizon rep yesterday and unfortunately that's true with VZW (so I can't pay the full price and run away, i have to open a new line with them).

The good news is that "all of [their] 4G phones are sim-unlocked" (quoting Verizon rep here). But what's the good in that if I have to start a line of service with them?

Can someone ask for me pretty please (AT&T's live chat is for their customers only)?

This would be rather annoying; i'd prefer not to buy the Canadian version because I'd have to wait for everything to be confirmed compatible.

1) AT&T's has a back mic that no one else has. SUPRISE!

2) TMO's has a 2.4MP front vs 2.1MP for all other versions?? SUPRISE!

3) I'm not going to even mention Verizon's.

4) F320 G2s are veryyyyy expensive on the web and so far don't have much support here.

5) Telling from the above, the Canadian D803 is probably going to come up with another surprise of its own.

Thanks.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colbyfink:
I'm not sure what you're asking. If you want this phone at a subsidized price, you have to be on a contract with one of the providers that have the G2. If you want to buy it outright you can buy it anywhere for full retail price. You don't have to be a customer to pick up the G2 at full retail price. Or at least I don't think you do. Then you can use whatever carrier you want so long as the hardware is compatible with the carrier (for example, straight talk would work in an at&t G2 or an unlocked Verizon G2, I believe). What are you asking, more specifically?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_<3er:
Ok. Let's just say I want to buy the Verizon G2. I need to know if I can pay $600 up front at a store, then take it back to Canada to put it on TELUS. What Verizon is telling me is that I have to open a line with them (I'm guessing for one month) first, basically activate it with Verizon first.

I need to know if this is true or just BS, and if AT&T does the same.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colbyfink:
They may have changed the rules to be that way but I've never known at&t to do that.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason4962:
Your buying the phone. Not service

When you open the line you open a contract unless prepaid.when you open a contraxt you should not be paying full price for the phone. When you buy the phone at full price its yours. You do what you want. I buy full price phone all the time. And i dont even need a account with thrm. Go in ask for the phone and say device only . Your buying the hardware

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_<3er:
Oh but one more question though, will they unlock it for me right then and there? What about AT&T?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colbyfink:
Verizon usually makes all of their devices unlocked out of the box if they have GSM radios. At&t may unlock it or may not. If they don't there is a website that I saw in the General section that will unlock the G2 for a few dollars.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_<3er:
Isn't that illegal in the US though?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colbyfink:
Bit of a grey area. The sites are still around and functional so I guess there is a reason they aren't closed down.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lightning Count:
I'll be in Japan in about a week (will be there for 22 days) and want to get a data sim so that I can use Google maps primarily, and some browsing as well. My options are 1 gb @ 7.2 Mbps or unlimited data @ 300 kbps. I'm leaning toward the latter to be on the safe side but wondering if that's just my insecurity talking.

What do you guys think? I don't use mobile data at all (just wifi when needed), so have no idea what to expect.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pizzaboydee:
It depends on the signal on wherever you are going to.

Personally I would go to unlimited data if you are going to use google maps and some light browsing (I bet facebook ang google?)

But if you are heavy user who wants to watch video and download something, I'll go for 7.2Mbps but you need to use it well because it is limited for 1GB. You can look here for more info click here

If I root the L9 and install a custom rom, does this get around the throttling by metropcs or can they still throttle the data and force 2g/3g speeds after my 2.5GB is over?

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] isaacj87:
No. They will still slow down your speeds after you reach your limit. The ROM is just a superficial change. The radio hardware/SIM is still in communication with MetroPCS.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] zviki:

I have been able to achieve WIRELESS display and audio mirroring with my AppRadio!

I just connected my adapter to the HDMI input, powered it via USB and then used the wireless display feature in the phone to connect.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] <:GeeK:>:
Here is the thing, I think we can all agree that mirroring with no wireless kicks a lot more ass than being forced to use a wire. The current setup I'm running accomplishes everything that the wired connection using 'AppRadio Unchained' does without using a wired connection, except for touch control through he head unit, which we all want.

I'm just not exactly sure how the head unit decides to allow/disallow touch and that's why I'm reaching out to the community to get a solution to the problem.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Area51©:
For the radio it doesn't make any difference whether you are using a wireless connection or using a wired connection. The main thing is that it gets its input signal through HDMI.

The touch info from the head unit is sent via bluetooth to the phone. That's why you need a bluetooth connection and an app on your phone that is able to connect to the radio and interpret the touch info that is received. If you use the Pioneer AppRadio app this should work but you can use only the "Pioneer approved" applications. The goal of the AppRadio Unchained mod is to be able to use any application and control it from the radio.

My new-ish Note 3 is soo much better than my old S2 at finding and fixing to satellites.

This test was done under the same conditions (Left on my windowsill for 5 minutes then screenshots taken.

The S2 won't usally find GPS satellites for at least 2 minutes if i am trying to navigate (walking in town using Maps) (Not stationary).

My Note 3 with AGPS with GLONAS or whatever it is is so much better at navigation

My Note 3 clips on within 5 seconds to a satellite.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
Hmm, quite strange, I am bumping this thread here just to try to gather a little more info on this.

My experience is that my i9300 (which was supposed to have a much better GPS than the S2) is VASTLY quicker at getting a GPS lock than my N9005.

That being said I was shocked to see that starting mobile (cellular) data on the N9005 made a pretty large improvement (I have Sygic so really I don't need to be online and also I would like the GPS in my N9005 to work even if no cellular signal is available - just as my i9300 did).

Any more insight in the N9005 GPS? Any more (hidden?) settings? Stuff on disabling Assisted GPS , enabling Glonass and so on?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Turning on wifi, even without connecting to a network, also improves the localisation speed. Which is useful when your provider has disabled roaming until you buy a dayticket.

Mine's very quick at getting a fix, even for Europe, which is known to not exactly hace perfect coverage. (often enough even a GPS tracker can't find more than 2 sats.)

Mobile data improves GPS tracking because it can use the network towers to send&recieve a data package and triangulate from that. This method is also used by the police when tracking a non-GPS enabled phone.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xclub_101:
I am not certain this (hotspot-related positioning data) is what we were talking about, and to be even more specific in my own tests the i9300 constantly had very good GPS-lock speed even without WiFi or Mobile Data activated, while on the N9005 the GPS-lock was abysmal with no connection or with WiFi and was somehow passable (but nowhere near the i9300 with zero connections) when Mobile Data was active. (all those - I explain somewhere below in more details - under "cold start" conditions).

The GPS system is designed such that there is no significant (average) coverage difference at similar latitudes (from instance from EU to US), and at the worst timing moment at least 6 satellites (up to something like 10 in a good moment) would be in direct line of sight at any moment from basically any point on Earth. (obviously being underground or masked by huge or metallic objects/buildings is a different story). All the above number basically double-up if Glonass is also used (which also improves coverage in polar regions).

I am aware of Assisted GPS (but triangulation does not really represent a major part of it). Either way it does not quite explain why WiFi does not also result in improved lock-in on the N9005, nor does it explain why the i9300 under absolutely identical conditions (and without any form of data connection) still does the initial lock-in faster every single time, and MUCH, MUCH faster when the N9005 does not have Mobile Data. To give some sense of the numbers (all in Central Europe identical conditions indoors but with no major blocking structures around; most tests with the same program called GPS Test, but also some tests from inside Sygic) - i9300 is in the order of 20-30 seconds (no connection), the N9005 with mobile data is in the order of 30-60 seconds but without mobile data it can go as high as 300-500 seconds at times. The N9005 numbers tends to get a little better if I go outside, but still does not seem to be any faster than 60 seconds on a cold start. The lock is (on both devices) always faster if a previous GPS lock was done in the last 30-60 minutes, so in my comparative tests I always tried to get GPS lock after more than 1-2 hours since any of the phones had a lock.

Another funny thing is that the i9300 is claiming on the order of 12-16 satellites in view while on the M9005 I even saw 24 in view - a number which really would suggest something like a mix of 10 GPS + 10 Glonass + all 4 Galileo :rolleyes:
