I don´t know if i can do this..

But it's possible to do something like this to our Xperia Z Ultra?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41821003&postcount=1

And change to KK version?

I checked out the file it flashes, and it's just an animation. I've only seen the boot animation by Chainfire that shows the logcat/dmesg while it's booting. I haven't tried it on my XZU yet though. Here's a link if you'd like to check it out. Link

edit:

Nevermind, it looks like it won't work on Xperia devices...

I just switch my plan with ATT. I got now 10 GB share plus unlimited talk and messages 3 smart phones connected for $145. Compare to last I had some around $190 and each phone had 2 GB data.

Is looks good for me, but other can have defriend opinion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ~wolverine~:
Did you get to keep the phones you already had, or did you have to trade?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Kaze105:
They started this in the beginning of Feb. If you have 3 or more lines, this is definitely worth it. I went from 225 to 140 with taxes and warranty.

Just go to att wireless and you can change the plan. No need to buy anything or trade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] norbarb:
I keep my phones
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bennyboy78:
Can you guys provide a link to those plans? Ours is only 4 GB shared with 3 phones and it is well over $145 a month
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] NighthawkXL:
I was on a Mobile Share Plan paying around $205 after taxes & fees for 3 lines on the 4 GB plan. I called the other day and got moved to the Mobile Share Value plan without any issues... next billing cycle will indeed be cheaper after doing the math the service dropped to $145 along with tax & fees of around $10-$15. I definitely have no problem with saving nearly $50 or so dollars a month while getting more data out of the deal. T-Mobile really has AT&T scrambling to keep customers from jumping ship, and we're reaping the benefits.

what happens with the 2 year upgrade deal if one chooses this plan. I been reading but seems like that may be gone and they trying to push the next idea upgrade?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] kvl19:
I believe you won't get the "2 year upgrade deal". You have to use Next
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Tinag379:
you can go with a 2 year upgrade deal but your monthly phone charge will go up to $40 per line. not worth it for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] norbarb:
I don't think so I got 2 years on 2 of my 3 phones and get only $15 per phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Tinag379:
But when you go to upgrade your lines it goes up unless you go with the Next program.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] norbarb:
If on upgrade I can't keep my plan I can always change company since I do not have any obligation to them. Then is they move. I think you will be able to keep your plan.

I went from 280 to 175 for 5 phones.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] atistang:
I switched last week also. Just so people know. You will no longer get upgrade discounts every 2 years with the value plans. You will have to use Next or pay up front the full price of the phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] norbarb:
So they doing this to sell less phones? Not to smart.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Cusa:
Can someone please tell me the difference between Next and the 2 year upgrade plan?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hiii_imkris:
Basically if you're in a 2 year contract signed prior to 2/2 then your line is $15 on a 10gb+ value plan. If in the future you sign another 2yr then your price goes up from $15 to $40. If on next it stays $15 and adds installment. No contract stays $15.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rizzo269:
I ended up switching and grabbed a couple sgs2's on swappa for my other lines that weren't smart phones before. This gs4 is my last carrier phone I'm going to get I think. Either a nexus or Google play edition of the next great thing will be my next device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CZ Eddie:
Pretty damn good deal for those who like to buy phones outright, such as with the Nexus lineup.

Which is how I'll be going since AT&T locks bootloaders now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] kcttocs:
Works for me

It's going to decrease my bill by about 100 dollars a month and give me 10 gig vs 6 gig on 5 phones. Currently before I switched I wasn't upgradeable till October on one of my lines. I recently upgraded two of my lines and wouldn't be upgradable for those for almost two years anyways. So doing the math, saving 100 bucks a month is well worth it. I can buy the phones outright with the money I am saving now. Actually I will probably go ahead and upgrade using the next program and get my GF the S4 once the S5 comes out.(GF is complaining about how small her iphone 4s is lol), and once my S4 gets old to me, maybe go with a nexus for my next upgrade. I am pleased with this new plan option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] atistang:
With next you can upgrade whenever. But you pay the full price of the phone. They let you make payments for 20 months. Say you bought a phone that is 599. Your bill will be 29.95 higher for the next 20 months. Or you can always buy a used one, or a nexus
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] norbarb:
Just for more info about this plans.. Tethering is included in this plans.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Cusa:
I have three lines in my plan, 2 are smartphones and 1 is a dumb phone. I pay ~$145 a month. We have the most basic data plan. How much lower will it drop with the new plan if I do decide to switch?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] atistang:
10gb shared is 100. Then 15 per phone. So it should be the same price before taxes but your dumb phone would get smart. Check out there website
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fals3illusion:
wow, just changed this. my plan was 260 for 3 phones with only 700 min rollover and unlimited texts with only 8 gigs.

THANKS, hopefully this plays out well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sandman7793:
I pay $420 for 7 phones, unlimited talk, text with 15 GB share data, with insurance on all 7 phones, tethering on all phones. So don't know if I would switch to next or not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] norbarb:
2

Math is easy 7x15=105 plus $130 for 15GB total is $235. 420-235=185 savings per month 185x12=2220 a year.. Over 2 years it is 4400 of saving. If you upgrade your phones with 2 years contract you any way will pay around $200 per phone. 7x200=1400. Full price is around $600. So 600-200=400, 400x7=2800 so looks like your saving still is some around $1600 per 2 year period.

But like I said in OP everyone is defriend :o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sgndroid1:
Actually, the new Next plan would save me about $60 per month on all lines times 24 months would be $1440. If I was to purchase 5 phones, that would cost me $3000 with average price.

If I keep my two years contract plan, the phones would cost me $1000 for 5 lines, compared to Next, that's a $2000 savings. If you subtract the $1440 savings with Next to the $2000 in savings with the 2 year contract savings, than you save about $600 more with a 2 year contract.

Keep in mind you can always do an early upgrade with a 2 year contract where a Galaxy S4 would cost you $350.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] norbarb:
You not wrong. All depend on what plan you have now and how many phones are you using. That what I said everybody have different situation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sandman7793:
I'm curious to see what the next price will be per month on the new s5, because supposedly the new s5 will be $800 without contact. I guess time will tell.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jvnat:
I did the exact same things as OP. I'm in a 2 yr contract (about a year left) and switched from the shared 4GB plan to the new shared value 10GB plan. Went from $190/month to $145/month with more than double the data cap. Contract length didn't change (verified). Tethering is still there also. Complete win.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CAG-man:
I'd check your upgrade options. My Galaxy S4 contract started May 12. I went to add a line a few days ago and the representative asked if I was using my upgrade. After a short discussion clarifying my confusion 10 months into a 2 year contract, he informed me ATT is basically pushing the Next plans on a lot of accounts regardless of contract terms. After returning home and looking online, sure enough I had an upgrade option for my line with the S4. I think It said something about only to upgrade to a Next plan, which I don't mind. This is the only line I have left with a contract.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] chvybeatsford:
How many lines. We pay now 189 for two with data and one just a call only, I called and tried to get exact price but they cant because of taxes and what not. But she said that she normally just adds a 20 to the cost and makes up for the difference. Well that would only save me maybe 20 bucks and i lose my unlimited data. So i asked online for a total and same deal but the women in the text sent me this link.

http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/additionalcharges/. If all this is correct on top of 145 then no way im gonna switch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Phoneguy589:
If you have 3-5 smartphones and use 10 gb of data the savings of the plan will allow you to do the next upgrade on 2 lines and you'll still be saving money. I pay $220 now vs $290 last month....I can pay for the next on 2 devices and still be under my original $290 and then next year upgrade again OR upgrade the other lines when I'm done paying for the device in 12mos or 18mos. I personally am the only one in my family that always wants the newest device so I still save either way. The next program allows you to upgrade in less than 2yrs or you can just keep your device. As of right now it says I'm eligible for either a 2 year plan, an Iphone upgrade or $0 down on a new device via the next plan. Like someone posted earlier, depends on your circumstances.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jvnat:
We have 3 smartphones with 3 lines. I was paying $190/month. You are right in that I haven't seen my new bill yet. The plan bill is $145. I'm not sure how much the tax will be yet. But for us, it will be still lower than the previous plan and we get more than 2 times the data usage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rebel1699:
I just set mine up today to switch at the beginning of the next billing period (i hate proration and month ahead mid cycle junk). We have 4 lines and are paying $250 a month. $224.97+taxes. The new plan takes me down to $160+taxes. We were only averaging 5Gb a month total, so 10Gb should be more than plenty. Then being able to tether my Nexus 7? $70 savings and more options. Works for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jherring002:
I had 4 link and a tablet with 4 gigs of data and was paying $238/mo. This was after taxes.

Switched to the new plan and that brought me down to $170.

I also got a boost in data up to 10 gigs. I am very pleased. I'm not a data hog, but I do find myself being more liberal with my dat useage.

• These are the most competitive rates I've ever seen from AT&T. - Still hate the locked bootloaders though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] norbarb:
Remove tablet from plan since you can tether now and use phone as wifi spot.. that get you $10 less
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jherring002:
Already done! I actually hardly used the galaxy tab 2. I aways thought it was bad. Oh well, AT&T suckered me out of money on that deal.

l have recently bought the galaxy note 10.1 (2014) and am loving it. Writing instead of typing when I want is awesome. Add to that I can tether now, can you say "winning" ⇐ (in the words of Charlie Sheen)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] torrentsoo:
essupyr hospitalem

This is funny, I am not getting sucked into these share plan, it's just so pathetic and rip off. $145 on top of the service plan, no thank you. Don't say you're playing $145 cause that's only for the share data plan, say how much total you're actually paying. So like for 3 lines it's like um....$70 + $145 shared plan, that's about $200 + just for a 10gb share plan, am I not right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] norbarb:
Where did you get $70 from????? 10GB is $100 plus every phone you connect to plan is $15. so for 3 lines is total $145 plus tax. Read this
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rebel1699:
You should probably read better. $100 gets you 10Gb, unlimited talk and unlimited text. Then, $15 per phone. The talk and data are bundled. You do not need an additional minutes plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rkennison:
I went from just over 300 a month on 5 phones to just under 220 month.

Yes, the normal plan is +40 per phone that is still under contract, however, that's all waved currently so it's only 15$ a month per phone regardless of it being next or otherwise.

If it where the 40$ a month per phone on contract, then yes, it's more but thats not the case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rebel1699:
Exactly. As long as you did your contract before 2/2/2014, you get the $15/month price.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CAG-man:
I'm not so sure. I have added 2 lines since the new year to have 3 lines now. Only one line is on a contract. The line for my S4. The third line was just added last week. There have been plenty of eyes to look at and adjust mybplan accprdingly. I am still charged 40 am month for the contract phone but they gave be an early upgrade option to get a new device for the Next plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ted77usa:
I can confirmed ....just called ATT....:crying: After 2/2/2014 it went back to $40 per month per line.....before 2/2/2014 $15 per month per line. Everything else the same with share 10GB data with unlimited talk and text....:cool::good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CAG-man:
I just added a line on NEXT with 15$ a month last week. I had also upgraded a phone in January that changed my plan. That phone received 15 a month. When I added the line last week I had to change plans again because the NEXT plan I got in January was being phased out for more data cheaper plans.

Just saying as of last week I was told the plans changed on 2/2 and what I was quoted is what I got last week. Now the phone still under a 2 year contract. Still 40 a month. But I have an upgrade to a Next offer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fuga350gt:
This past Sunday 2/16, we were at the ATT old town Pasadena store, and we switched data plans to the recent 10gb data share plan and we got the $15 per line rate. This also ended up saving apprx. $15 after taxes based on the prior plan we had, PLUS the two kids lines get data now when they previously did not.

I also handed over my iphone 4 32gb to my daughter and decided to pick up the S4 16gb 1337 MK2 out the box.

Looking forward to finally have 4G/LTE access, rooting the phone, getting rid of bloatware, and learning about the avail. options for ROMs, which I understand is currently limited based on the safestrap method? Which I am trying to learn and understand a little further.

Been a lurker on XDA in the past, you guys have a great HP TP section which I have that is running CM9 currently.

Your carrier wants you to buy into early upgrades, but should you take the bait? http://www.engadget.com/2014/02/19/early-upgrade-plans via Engadget Android
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] kcttocs:
Complicated but simple

Switch to the 10 gig $100 dollar plan.

Pay 15 per phone that is not on contract.

From what I can tell, by looking at my account if you were previously on contract which all my phones are, it's still only 15 buck per phone, BUT If you have a device that is ready to upgrade after moving to this new plan, do the next program only if the total price of the phone is less that than 600 dollars or is one of the freebie phones. Why? Here is what is not explained very good...you still keep the 10 gig for 100, but the phone you upgrade will cost 40 dollars a month vs 15 to stay tied to your shared data plan. That's 25 dollars more a month x24 months. So your looking at 600 dollars for that freebie phone, if you get a premium phone you could pay an upgrade fee of up to 200 dollars and pay 800 dollars for that phone. Long story short, you will pay the full price or dang close for that new phone, but the share data plan is a solid choice.

If you do the next program and upgrade after one year, you just paid half the price of that phone and gave it back, then you are going to re-up and pay the full price for the next phone. Not a solid business decision if you ask me.

Here is the site that explains it. scroll down to the middle of the page step 2. if you do the 2yr agreement, then you pay 40 dollars a month.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] colbur87:
I made the switch. For me i save about $46.00 a month. This was the finial nail in the coffin for me to drop the unlimited data plan. RIP...

Its simple math for me, i don't buy subsidized phones, so it worked out great! Ebay and Craigslist are good friends when looking for a new phone if your comfortable gong down that route.

The only thing that sucks is the fan discount i have 20% is applied on the base plan (10gig $100 discount = $20.00) still a better deal though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CAG-man:
The way I understand it and what is written in the literature no matter what device you put on a Next plan you pay full price for the phone in payments. There is no subsidized phone on a next plan like with contract plans. So there are no freebie phone on a next plan. I look at the $15 or $40 as just the fee to be connected to the system. Much like a water bill. You have plumbing, it may all be paid for, but you still have to pay the water and sewer service bill. Also I added up all the payments for my Next phone. Came out to the exact price of the phone.

However what I think should happen is this, since a phone on the Next plan is purchased outright in payments, then all Devices on the Next plan should be fully unlocked. In my opinion other than a possible revocable right like a Rent to own store, ATT has no rights to the phone if we own it outright. Therefore I feel if we want to flash and void warranties and what not on our devices, let us do so if it is not subsidized.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] norbarb:
Very well put... If I will buy another phone from AT&T store I will ask to fully unlock even bootloader since this is my OWN phone and I can do whatever I want to with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] wavemaster00:
I have heard it mention here that tethering is included, but when I asked ATT today the lady said my computer would count as a data only device and I would have to pay $20 for it.

Where do you see that tethering is included?

---------- Post added at 06:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------

We have 5 lines, 3 of which are unlimited.

Currently we spend $267 plus tax

New plan: $175 plus tax. four of the five phones are from april 2013 (Note 2, 2X Active, S4), one is off contract.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] gottech:
Using the feature found under settings/connections/more networks/tethering and portable hotspot would make this included
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] torrentsoo:
root, and search for tethering, not saying it comes with the package, but you can make it tether yourself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sandman7793:
All share data plans included tethering. I must warn you though, if you use very little data now and then start tethering, your data usage will increase significantly. Increasing your chances of going over and getting charged $15 per GB instead of $10 on the old plan.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] wavemaster00:
Where does it say that it is included?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rebel1699:
In the terms and conditions, where everything is described.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sandman7793:
Read, read, read. That's why people get screwed all the time. Because they don't read.

Also when it says 5 devices, they mean 5 devices tethering on one phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jab74101:
When I look at my rate plan and the 10 gig, it says $130 is that including the two next phones I have or is that the plan by itself. Also is that with the $40 unlimited talk text?

Thank you for this.. I just saved 50 dollars a month from seeing this post!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] scott14719:
The phone isn't yours until the last payment has been made. Just like a house, if you have a mortgage and are making payments, the house isn't technically yours until after the last payment is made. That being said, there should be considerations made for people that pay the full price of the phone up front (not in payments). If you pay 100% for the phone, you should be able to unlock or modify it as you want.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] norbarb:
That what I use on one of my line 100% payoff phone and they keep telling me this is they property because I have contract with them for some more time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] norbarb:
On ATT side...just look or call ATT anyway if you turn on tethering on your device is checking and turning on. If you have no tethering and turn on will check but after you will get message to call 611 number.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MilzGatez:
Whatup everyone? I am a bit unclear about this Next program. I read all the post and chatted with a Rep on the ATT site which I think I understood a little but my question is....

I have 3 lines and Im interested in the Next program but one of the lines is due to an upgrade already and the other two already had their upgrades. The rep told me I could pick any of the lines but I am interested in all 3 lines.. He told me the line that is due to an upgrade can go on to the Next program but has to pay $40 instead of $15 and pay something for the new phone for the next 12-24 months...

What I need help with is if I upgrade all 3 lines to Next.... Will I still be able to get that 2yr upgrade or I have to use the Next plan instead?

And/Or..... Can I upgrade the phone then switch to the Next Program so I can pay $15 for all 3 lines? And the last one.... If I just picked one line to upgrade to next... is that the only one that will change to the new plan and the other 2 will remain the same?

Thank you in advanced
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Maribou:
The wife and I were at the new AT&T "Future" store this weekend getting her S4 activated. A woman was in there asking if they could unlock her phone because she was going over seas in a few days. I heard "unlocking", and started to listen in on the conversation. The rep had no idea what she was talking about ( although, he did play it off like he did). After 20 minutes of him spouting scripted crap, he finally said he couldn't help her, and she left looking pretty upset. That being said, I could just imagine walking in there asking to have my bootloader unlocked, and seeing the wave of confusion come over their faces. :silly:
