One of my two note 3s got blocked yesterday, trying to contact somebody at Negri during the weekend is impossible. Called, emailed, and tweeted. Even called the owner. I'll update after I get a hold of someone
[Nexus 5 General] RED ZMAN:
Loving my Nexus 5, it was so great to get to leave Verizon for a better phone, and a better price.

I've been on Straight Talk for the past month, and my time is almost up, 2.5gb is close, but I need a bit more. I want to get the new Net10 $75 plan, and evidently need a new AT&T sim card for their network.

Can I just buy the SIM I need and then select that plan when activating? Or do I HAVE to buy this $50 activation kit and then upgrade to the $75 after a month?

Been getting the run around on socials and help chat.

http://www.net10wireless.com/#/plans

UNLIMITED*

TALK, TEXT, DATA

$75 30 Days

No International Calls

Auto-Refill

Unlimited* Talk / Text

Picture Messaging

Web / Email and call 411

*Up to 5.0GB

Thanks ahead of time.
[Nexus 5 General] chipstien:
I thought ST was unlimited data?
[Nexus 5 General] cbutt:
They used to be, now they offer $45/month for unlimited talk, text & 2.5GB of data.. After the 2.5, I believe they throttle.
[Nexus 5 General] RED ZMAN:
Yup. I'm using between 2.75 and 4.5 data a month. I don't want the throttling.

Was looking at AIO, but it is throttled all the time, and who knows what will happen now that AT&T is buying Cricket (word is AIO is being shut down).

Anyways, Anyone have some helpful info?
[Nexus 5 General] coorsleftfield:
It's 2.5gb of high speed speed data, then the slow you down to 2g.

My understanding is that you can just buy 0.99c sim off eBay and then activate it on any plan they have. It's a dollar risk, I'd try it before paying for an activation kit.. The apn settings are posted all over.
[Nexus 5 General] RED ZMAN:
That's what I was hoping. The guy I talked to on the phone support was nice, but I could barely hear him (landline), and that sounds like maybe what he was saying.

Net10 has free overnight shipping on their $6.99 sim cards, or you can get them on Amazon too for .99 as a Prime AddOn.
[Nexus 5 General] coorsleftfield:
Make sure you get one already cut for micro size.
[Nexus 5 General] RED ZMAN:
Check.

Was going to get this one.

[Nexus 5 General] RED ZMAN:
Okay [MENTION=4722148]coorsleftfield[/MENTION] , just ordered the one I linked. I'm assuming when it gets in I activate the sim and then select a plan on the site? It was a month ago for Straight Talk but I believe they had a similar setup (drank a lot since then).
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
tmobile is $70 for unlimited calls, unlimited texts, and completely unlimited high speed data(no throttling, an unlimited means 9999gb+).
[Nexus 5 General] STi_Fanatic:
Plus free text and 2G data internationally.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
right
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
To bad they suck in so many places which is probably why they are still so cheap.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
not here in nyc, they are the best. i average 30-40mbps download and 15-25mbps upload. great lte coverage here, no dropped calls. and they are cheap not because of bad service, but because they are the 4th largest provider in the us, and are trying to take away the customers from the 3 largest providers. att is terrible in nyc(but improving), so is sprint.
[Nexus 5 General] RED ZMAN:
Yeah, that's not what I asked about though, thanks.

My wife WORKS for T-Mobile, there's a reason I'm on AT&T now and she's giving up her Employee Plan for the same. Unlimited X No Signal = Unlimited Nothing. LOL In her call center they are lucky if they can get edge 95% of the time. In a large metro area too. In the two counties I work in, Socorro and Catron Counties, there is no T-Mobile service at all unless you stay within a few miles of the freeway (I-25), and that is spotty too. I can't be out of service for a 6 hour round trip drive to some of the lands we are responsible for near Arizona.

Hell, we live less than 200 feet from I-25, and she gets 1 to 2 bars in the house, and can't make a call unless she switches to WiFi.

I have no need for this, hence why I started the thread about this specific plan with Net10.

I've seen the other threads with what's available and what folks think about them.
[Nexus 5 General] RED ZMAN:
Sorry, that sounded rude, I just re read it. I apologize for that, wasn't my objective.

I was with T-Mobile for years under my wife's plan, I wish them nothing but luck and love how they are changing the industry, but until their network expands and gets reliable, I can't us them here in New Mexico.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
lol, i just checked out the part of new mexico that youre in, now it makes sense. i wouldnt consider anywhere near there a large population center where you work, probably not where you live either. yea, tmobile doesnt have good coverage out there, near the middle of no where.. my bad. but near actual large population areas, tmobile is starting to earn its name :)
[Nexus 5 General] TiltedAz:
Is tethering extra?
[Nexus 5 General] LordDemon1:
Go with h20 wireless, they have a $60 plan unlimited 4g no caps.

Its a new plan they just got.
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
tethering is included in all the plans, its unlimited tethering on all the plans except its limited to 2.5gb on the completely unlimited high speed data plan($70 all inclusive). but even then, another 2gb tethering can be bought as well.
[Nexus 5 General] TiltedAz:
Ok. Thought I read no tethering in the $30 prepaid plan.
[Nexus 5 General] jimmyjoebob:
T-Mobile doesn't provide free anything.

If its included in your plan, its because you pay for that service.

The Simple Mobile plans do include international text when you are outside of the US, in those countries listed, not inside the US, unless you pay extra for that service.

It is nice that all incoming international texts are included while in the US, no extra charge for those, unlike most other companies.
[Nexus 5 General] RED ZMAN:
H2o have LTE? No throttling?

Do they do roaming?

Yeah, Socorro is like 9000 people, and the biggest thing in both counties.

Albuquerque is the 31st largest metro area in the US (geographer), we live just south of there. we are in a '4g Coverage Zone' with all of the services, but only Verizon and AT&T have anything work a damn.
[Nexus 5 General] coorsleftfield:
I tried T-Mobile for a week. No signal at my desk at work, no signal at the Dr office I was visiting every other week at the time. Cancelled it under the 14 day back out period. The problem with tmo is they only have 1700mhz spectrum which sucks for working inside buildings. Net 10 runs on AT&T which can use 800mhz. Coverage should be better.

As far as I know, net10 does allow roaming. Interesting that straighttalk does not.
[Nexus 5 General] imablackhat:
I've been on st for a month. No complaints.
[Nexus 5 General] RED ZMAN:
No LTE on H2o either. Damnit, ib knew I had reviewed these all thoroughly a free dais ago...

Lol
[Nexus 5 General] xdm9mm:
I am also on net10. I use the ATT compatible sim card. When you buy make sure you get the ATT compatible if you want ATT signal. I also bought from amazon. BYOP on Net10 will only allow you to use the higher tarriffs like $50/month unlimited... you can always change your plan, but make sure you do it on the end of your current plan.
[Nexus 5 General] oct2274:
I've been on aio for a month now and it has been fine. Throttled to 8 Mbit is not bad at all, plus the network is huge.
[Nexus 5 General] cas8180:
Disregard
[Nexus 5 General] markdapimp:
And no indoor coverage for free
[Nexus 5 General] mattcoz:
That is correct, no tethering on prepaid, only on the Simple Choice plans.
[Nexus 5 General] californiarailroader:
Yeah, but their coverage is sub par compared to AT&T's in a lot of areas (ours is one), and they have large areas still on GPRS and EDGE (again,ours is one). Make sure and check on your area first, as you might end up with SLOW data and poor coverage.
[Nexus 5 General] fallingd0wn:
So does Net10 have the same network usage policies as Straight Talk? I know with ST they have a warning in their terms of service about continuously streaming video over mobile data. Some users have been throttled for it even though they were under their limit for the month.

Edit: Looks like they do.
[Nexus 5 General] RED ZMAN:
I didn't have any either, other than they should have a few options for more data, a 1gb addon for $10 would have been perfect for me.

[MENTION=5602773]xdm9mm[/MENTION] , I've got a XDM 9mm Green/Black 5 inch Tac model, LOVE that pistol, Big Dot Night Sights too.

Got the right card, sure of it, going to use it on the $75 unlimited plan that this thread is about. So worst case scenario I have to do the $50 Unlimited for a month, then go to the $75 at the end?

I really wanted to go with AIO, but with all the uncertainty of what they are doing right now with the aforementioned AT&T/Cricket buyout, I'm going to wait. But that's the good part about pre-paid, go where you want, you are there for a month at the worst, right? I just don't like throttling, I want the best speeds that I can get.

Good point. I don't do this though, most of my data is used by either downloading podcasts, navigation via USB tether to my in dash mounted Nexus 7 for my 2 hours of commute a day, and forum stuff. I would also like to stop having to wait to get home to update apps on Wifi, the only thing I miss about Verizon is that unlimited data, but these plans will put me above anything I ever used to begin with, for cheaper.

I'll update everyone today when that sim card comes in.
[Nexus 5 General] zz_marcello:
I'm in Northern Virgina using the T-Mobile 30USD 5GB plan and I have 100% signal at home or work or everywhere in between.

90% of my time I have LTE connection and the other 10% H+ (which is still like 6-10mbit)

Plus the Nexus 5 is my first Smartphone that doesn't empty the battery in case of a weak indoor GSM signal so I'm completely happy with T-Mobile here and and I like to support this plan so that ATT etc. also have to move their butts to make LTE affordable.

[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
Do prepaid plans get the same exact service area and coverage as contract plans?
[Nexus 5 General] RED ZMAN:
Yes, they use the same towers. Some prepaid ones do NOT allow roaming though or "partner" networks.

I've been super happy I left the contract scene.
[Nexus 5 General] RED ZMAN:
Wow, what a nightmare.

I got my sim card, went through the process, and there is NO option to not only buy the $75 plan, but you can't buy any when activating. You HAVE to have a airtime number already to activate. So where this leaves me, I don't know. They already have all of my Verizon info, so I don't know if the port is already taking place or not. From what I understand, my ONLY option is to now buy the $50 plan,a nd then go to the $75 plan later. Net10's website is about useless, their phone support can barely speak english 50% of the time (sounds like Jamaica), and the chat support throws the first thing their search can find and then close the chat.

UGH!!!

Does anyone know where i can get a airtime number for this $75 plan?
[Nexus 5 General] Cobra11Murderer:
That use to be the case but not anymore, the 30 dollar plan has 100mb tethering included
[Nexus 5 General] KrazyAttack:
I'm on NET10, also had it on my Nexus 4, have never been able to get MMS to work once. I can send but not receive.

Does anyone on here have a Nexus 5 on Net10 with the $50 unlimited everything plan with working MMS? Please post your apn settings if so.

I've tried every apn setting I can find all across the internet and while I have LTE and it's fast and fine, I cannot receive MMS.

[Nexus 5 General] _jordan_:
Man att and their mnvos are such a ripoff. Only 5gigs for $75. Im glad I can get T-Mobile where I live. Used 35 gigs on their unlimited plan last month lol.
[Nexus 5 General] Rob4828:
I left aio for T-Mobile. The first two months were OK and even after I went over the 2gb limit 3g was ok for streaming music. However, after those two months 3g was unbearably slow and there was two major outages in the same week. I get good coverage with T-Mobile but signal in buildings is pretty bad but they make up for it in my book with unlimited LTE data.
[Nexus 5 General] _jordan_:
Unlimited LTE is awesome. In areas with good coverage, T-Mobile is the way to go.
[Nexus 5 General] abdel12345:
Had anyone tried this plan? It seems too good to be true unlimited everything including 4g for only 40 a month? The 25 dollar isn't too bad either if you don't have LTE speeds in your area
[Nexus 5 General] RED ZMAN:
If I remember right, republic Wireless is sprint only. So everyone knows, I never did end up going with this plan. I'm on h2o wireless for now. Net 10 couldn't help me get my phone on their network for some reason. None of the stuff they said I could do good actually be done online.
[Nexus 5 General] abdel12345:
What's wrong with sprint?
[Nexus 5 General] _jordan_:
Sprint is horrible. Even in new york, their coverage is horrible.

Also, if you fall off of LTE on sprint, you are relegated to their HORRIBLE cdma network.

Not so on att, or T-Mobile, where you fall back on hspa. Verizon also has an awful CDMA network to fall back in, but their LTE is pretty much everywhere.
[Nexus 5 General] abdel12345:
Oh wow I didn't know it was that bad my friends that have sprint say it's alright. They say it's better than T-Mobile here in Ohio. Anyways I'm on lycamobile right now which has been giving me great service so far but doesn't have any good data plans. I thought this one looked good. My area isn't covered by their 4g so I was gonna use the 25 dollar 3g one but if it's as bad as you say then never mind.

[Transformer TF300T General] cx1964:
I have a tf300t with twrp 2.6.1 and cyanogenmod 10.2 stable installed.

Because I installed cyanogenmod 10.2 I do not have Google play store and the other standard Google apps installed anymore.

I read an article which said that I had to install GApps to solve this problem.

May this is a stupid question but I do not know how to install GApps on my tf300t tablet.

I already download the zip file for Gapps apps for Android 4.3 (because CM 10.2 caused Android 4.3).

How can I install the GApps zip file?

Can I use the install function of twrp 2.6.1.?

I am familiar with root-ing my tablet by de twrp install function (install the supersu zip file with twrp).

Is this the same procedure (can I install the GApps zip file with twrp install function)?

Please help?
[Transformer TF300T General] therealbene:
Just update using TWRP

You should be able to install directly Gapps package using TWRP or CWM (that's what I did. Have you tried?
[Transformer TF300T General] cx1964:
Because I did know what the impact will be, I asked this question.

Did you install the GApps zip with twrp?

I only found an article which uses CWM to install GApps zip and not twrp.

So I want to know if you can install GApps zip with twrp.
[Transformer TF300T General] cmendonc2:
You can install GApps with any recovery, such as TWRP.
[Transformer TF300T General] cx1964:
Thanks.

It worked. I installed GApps with the install function of twrp.

I bought my phone earlier this month. Just now it feel off my table and the screen is cracked and not working. You can see the crack on the screen. What are my options here? The phone is rooted and you can see the custom unlock screen (if the screen was working). I do have insurance. Im still within the 15 day return period too. Im not sure if that matters

What was it doing do close to the edge of the table, and who knocked it off, (N3 doesn't move by itself) :silly:
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theROMinator:
First of all I'd compare the prices of having samsung repair it and insurance replacing it.

The samsung service center will fix it no matter what, but for a fee of course. About a year ago I smashed my S III's screen and sent it for repair to the service center in Texas. It cost me $170. In the end it's all a matter of how much time and $ you want to spend.

Do you know if your LCD is still intact? If it's not, I'd pay to have samsung repair it. LCD/glass assemblies are expensive last time I checked.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solarenemy68:
The return period is only 14 days and that does not cover damage caused by you.. The insurance will cover that but only after the 200 dollar deductible.

If you used kingo to ROOT then just use Kingo again to unroot and boot the device twice and the lock should go away.. Even if you rooted it does not void the warranty since rooting does not trip KNOX. Only changes that trip KNPX will void the warranty..

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG9:
Hi everyone.

I owned a Nexus 5 one month ago, but unfortunately, it does not work as expected. On 4.4.0, I had multiple issues concerning network already (unable to switch to 3G networks only, very variable HSPA signal reception (from 4/4 bars to Edge exactly at the same place), ...). This issues were supposed to be fixed with 4.4.2 and most of them are, excepting HSPA signal which is still very weird. However 4.2.2 brings my phone another issue that I didn't noticed on 4.4.0 which is a very annoying and repetitive complete signal blackout (no reception at all (Edge/HSPA), even for emergency calls I guess). Signal drop can happen twice in an hour, twice in 10 minutes or may not happen at all 3-4-5 hours long. It's completely unpredictable. After a while, Edge signal (not HSPA !!) gets back by itself. If I wait 10-20 more minutes, HSPA comes back again, until it drops again.

Moreover, at phone boot, just after typing my PIN Code, it usually takes 2 or 3 minutes to catch a signal. Very slow isn't it ?

It does not seem to be a network issue, since my Samsung Galaxy S III doesn't encounter this using the same SIM card.

I read on Google forums and probably some XDA threads that I was not the only one to face this kind of network issues, even on 4.4.2, but issue description was each time a bit different from mine, thus I tought that it may be useful to post a new thread to describe precisely what was my problem.

Edit : My Nexus 5 is unlocked and rooted, but issue is present on untouched 4.2.2 also.

Edit 2 : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2525583 is probably my issue.

Do no hesitate to answer if you're thinking that you have the same issue (or kind of) or if you think that you know something that may help.

Thank you :) .
