Hi there,

I was recently shocked with my O2 phone bill due to GPRS charges, until May the GPRS was totally free on my account and I was spending a small fortune's worth on it, now I'm afraid to connect through GPRS as last month's bill topped £140, I only usually spend £40!!

Does anyone know of a way to make GPRS cheaper other than speaking to the operator, being an O2 Online customer I am only allowed a bolt-on for 8 megabytes!, I could use that in 2 days!!

I know WM5 has a built in compressor in IE but it's not as good as OperaMini.

Is there any tricks to trimming off that price?

Thanks guys

Terry

If you are stuck with a contract time remaining - you may be better paying the rest of the contract off and switching to the Tmobile a web and walk one.

If you need to stay with O2 for some reason (like they would not be happy porting the number of someone paying that much a month!) you could try disabling graphics as that makes your usage plummet and unless it is something you really need graphics for (like maps) then you dont really notice any inconvenience.

If you do need graphics then try...

It works by connecting via a proxy that is sending compressed data to your phone. When you tell them what phone you have it also reduces picture resolution to match the screen, as a compressed 800x600 image is about 5 times larger than the same 320x240 that your screen could show. Obviously your phone needs to run code to decompress the data, but it is meant to drop data usage fairly substantially and as your are receiving the data at the same speed it effectively decreases the time it takes a page to load.

It costs £20 for a year - however there is a "free" trial running currently which costs 50p for two weeks - so I guess a minud point that a company runs a free offer you need to pay for.

If you are a quidco member you can get a 1/3 off this, which even makes it viable to join quidco if you are not - as it would pay your years membership and £1.60 into your paypal account so you could then get all their other refunds for a year.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] terryd1980:
Thanks guys, that all looks great, I've only recently renewed my contract with O2 so I'll look into the cost of paying them off, 2gb per month sounds amazing from T-Mobile and well worth the hassle!

Cheers

[Samsung Gear 2] BlackZenith:
Quick review of the JOTO - Samsung Gear 2 Screen Protector Film I ordered from Amazon.com.

These protectors are very clear but the adhesive doesn't create a good bond at the edges. You can see this lift in the picture I provided. Check out the bottom portion of the protector. They do not cover the entire glass area of the screen.

My order came with 3 very thin protectors. Straight out of the box one of the corners on all of the protectors was slightly bent (not creased), which may be the cause of the edges not sticking well. The adhesive seemed to be on the weak side too. I tried applying 2 of the protectors, but got the the same result.
[Samsung Gear 2] ash99:
From what I've read in the manual, they don't recommend using screen protectors as it could cause "Do not use a screen protector. This causes touch screen sensor malfunctions."

I don't know if this is the usual Manual talk, as this is the first time I've actually read part of a manual :)

Check out the manual here:

[Samsung Gear 2] Pirateguybrush:
Good review, was thinking of picking some up but I might steer clear of these.
[Samsung Gear 2] cryptiq:
I picked up the Spigen screen protectors and they fit perfect. I wonder if they sent you a protector that was designed for the Neo since it has a smaller screen?
[Samsung Gear 2] bigdad771:
joto screen protectors

I had bought the same screen protectors and had the same issues you did. The top and bottom seemed like the had no adhesive on them at all and the screen protectors themselves are terrible. I ended up ordering some armersuit screen protectors as thats the brand I had on my original galaxy gear and I loved it, i'll post a review once they actually come in.
[Samsung Gear 2] BlackZenith:
Thanks. I just ordered the Spigen ones.

So I been installing Rom's lately on my rooted lg g2 D801. I was wondering if there is a way to do a full wipe that clears the storage side as well or would that brick my phone?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SysAdmNj:
Well what custom recovery are you using. For example im using twrp and under wipe you click advanced and check all options including internal storage. Why do you want to do that? Youd then have to push your rom and files via adb in fastboot mode. I wouldnt do that ,but its been done.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostman256:
its been slowly taking up all my space and I'm at 4gigs left now.. I deleted a bunch of media files and still can't get back to at least 10gig free. I have recovery CWM v6.0.4.5
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SysAdmNj:
You might have old roms you downloaded before installing you could delete. You could also have nandroid backups taking your space you could delete. Try installing nandroid manager from app store and see if it finds backups taking up space and delete them
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris61292:
What I do for a full wipe (with TWRP Recovery) is wipe system, data, dalvik, and cache - Flash my rom and gapps - and then wipe internal storage
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SysAdmNj:
Smart lol. I need my internal storage so I dont even think about that.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmileti:
Best way is to every now and then use USB otg. Move a backup to it or when you are about to fresh install a ROM put everything on USB otg and then wipe everything including internal. Then install ROM and gapps or whatever and you will have a super fresh internal storage. All folders and misc. Stuff left behind from multiple flashes will be formatted and you will have only what you need

[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] APeter001:
What is it? I have a Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Wi-Fi only edition.

What do you want to do with it? I want my wife to be able to text to and receive SMS/MMS messages on the Note.

Where do you need this to happen? Anywhere in the USA, whether over Wi-Fi or 4GLTE through the hotspot.

We have an AT&T Unite Pro hotspot for her to use to connect when not in a Wi-Fi zone. It has its own phone number- not sure if this is needed for this.

I'm wiling to pay a small fee (<$10) for a good app, but if there is a free one that would be even better.

She has a flip phone for calls. I assume it has Bluetooth capability but I am not looking to use the phone at all in this exercise. I want my daughter to be able to send a text/sms/mms to her mother from her iPhone and the Note to receive it whether on home Wi-Fi or hotspot.

Any helpful suggestions would be great. She does not use any Google services so I do not want to rope her into a Google Voice account if I can avoid it. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serinety:
Well Google voice is free. There is no "roping in" you just sign up and pick a phone number.

Look into "whatsapp" to see if fits your needs. It allows messaging to all sorts devices. Its free for a year then .99 after that.

But as far as I know. The only way to send sms messages on a WiFi device is using the Google voice app. You can even make WiFi calls to cell phones with a GV number and an app.

This won't work. She has a feature phone (flip phone) and will not get an android any time soon.
[Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] REHolt218:
As was stated earlier Google Voice is your best bet. I used it on my Motorola Xoom when my work phone would not allow text. You only have to install it on the tablet. As far as anyone else knows it is just another phone number that they send texts to or receive from. It works great.

If you have at&t as your service for cell phone just use their messaging app...or verizons if you have that. Then tada....not sure if either of those are your service..I use the At&t messaging app. No need to tether. Just WiFi and sync

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] TheMavic:
I just now figured out that a lot of bloatware can be disabled through the app management section in settings. After rooting and going s-off, I found that titanium backup has those apps listed as frozen. I was just curious if it's essentially doing the same thing as titanium backup as far as freezing is concerned?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Abe21599:
i do see that too - freezing in TiBu marks them as disabled in the app settings, but system apps have the disable button greyed out, so you need TiBu. I checked a few system apps i hadn't frozen and i couldn't disable them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Droiderific:
I bought a Sprint Galaxy Nexus a while ago because it was cheap and I needed an mp3 player (bad esn with sprint). Now I'm going on vacation and need an unlocked phone. I have a SGH T999 Galaxy S3 with T Mobile that is on 4.3 and apparently I'm not going to get it unlocked (I haven't spoken with TMo, but from what I can gather, it isn't likely to work). I was wondering if I could switch the LCD/digitizer from the Sprint G Nexus with one I purchase from ebay with a busted screen but is GSM unlocked (seems like the cheapest route, since I already have the phone). Is this possible, or should I just buy some cheapo unlocked phone for travel?

thanks in advance for read and replying =)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AASonyKK:
They have both the 4.65 in HD Super AMOLED with RGBG-Matrix (PenTile).

I have only the GSM unlocked version but searching on Internet I can't find differences on their screen.

I think it should fit.

> GPE GAPPS 4.4.2 | MUST INSTALL AFTER ROM | PLEASE REFER TO INSTALLATION GUIDE

> SuperSU 1.94 | Flash After ROM and GAPPS | Please hit TIP US on the top right corner of this thread

Installation Guide

> Read WHOLE Thread (Yes it's ALOT but please DO IT)

> Download Nexus 5 GPE ROM

> Download GPE GAPPS

> Place both ZIPS on internal memory

> Back-up ROM

> Wipe Data Factory Reset

> Install ZIP from SD card (If using Philz make sure binary option is unticked)

> After ROM is installed REBOOT

Changelog, FAQ's and Misc

Changelog

15/04/2014 - V1.05
Stable release of GPE ROM
Added cherrypicks from other AOSP ROMS from G2 that were not compatible from Nexus 5
Deodexed ROM
Added latest GAPPS as seperate installation

F.A.Q'S

> Q. What is the difference between this and other AOSP ROM's such as CyanogenMod, AOKP, PA and OMNI?

> A. This ROM is the GPE experience found on official Google phones such as Galaxy S4 GPE, HTC One GPE, Nexus 5, Moto G GPE etc

> Q. Why is there two seperate ZIP files?

> A. Because its quicker for me to upload a small ROM and GAPPS seperate so whne I update it I can upload faster without the GAPPS bloat

> Q. How do I customize this ROM?

> A. After you install SuperSU you can download Xposed installer and download GravityBox KK and tweak the ROM that way. This adds the same tweaks from OMNI, CyanogenMod to your ROM but with other tweaks they do not have, MultiWindow and Theme Engines can also be downloaded from Xposed

> Q. Can we install LG camera for AOSP ROMS and QuickWindow mod for AOSP ROMS?

> A. Yes, you can as these mods we're designed for AOSP Android just like this one. CyanogeMod, PA and AOKP are branches off the AOSP ROM so all modifications made for those ROM's will work for this. Plus when porting this ROM I used alot of cherrypicks from CyanogenMod and AOKP so they will definitely work
[G2 Android Development (D802)] kpyhere:
Oh my god. Will download as soon as the upload is complete. Thanks a bunch!

Why is this different from PA, for example?
[G2 Android Development (D802)] DesertHawk:
This is the stock GPE exp. found on the official Google devices such as: Xperia Z Ultra GPE, Nexus 5, HTC One GPE, Galaxy S4 GPE etc.
[G2 Android Development (D802)] kpyhere:
Nice, so there should be no bugs present?

Also, is it possible to port the stock LG camera to the GPE edition?
[G2 Android Development (D802)] jafalex:
Wowww. It is unexpected ROM :) Good job :good: It has bugs? or completely stable?
[G2 Android Development (D802)] DesertHawk:
Updated F.A.Q's. Hopefully this will answer your questions.
[G2 Android Development (D802)] piasek1906:
HI ;) Nice work ;)

Would it be possible to create ROM that looks and uses as GPE but based on official fw?

The rationale behind this idea is the ability to use:

- Camera (4k, magic focus, etc.).

- LG keyboard

- Knock ON

- Split View from the LG G Pro 2

- Quick Remote

- Nav Bar Key from LG G Pro 2

- Qside

- Weather Widget

Is this the end of the line for my favourite loyal servant of a phone??! Please help me as i can't get an upgrade to a HTC one (M8) till

November! I will have to use a friends... dun dun dun... IPhone!!!​

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! :crying: :crying:

Surely you guys wouldn't see me drowning in dull lifeless home screens for the next 6 months would you??!

So here it is... I am stuck at the boot screen... been here before a while back and all was solved by a factory reset and rebuild from back up... so when it happens this time, i think ah no dramas same again... boom didn't work, still stuck at boot screen! :(

Thought i'd try a different ROM, picked cm11 for i9300 bosh same problem... but a different picture at least! :silly:

Any ideas gentlemen?? :confused: :fingers-crossed:

The twist might you ask???

The USB port on the phone is "temperamental" at best after a run in with the floor and a friends shoe, so plugging it into the computer can only be partly relied upon... i had to convert to "wireless charging" from this exact reason :o

Any details available on request... Was on Liquid smooth ROM which was functional perfectly for about 6 months... until one day the screen went a bit... hmmm flashy? fuzzy? not sure how to describe it... then switched itself off never to return!

PLEASE OH LORDS OF THE ANDROID WORLD TAKE PITY ON A noob AND HELP ME OUT, I CANNOT GO BACK TO USING AN IPHONE AGAIN, THERE ARE SO BORING! WHERE WILL MY WIDGETS GO, WHERE I BEG OF YOU????!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] milan03:
Since only AT&T variants of GS5 and M8 are the first devices capable of aggregating two LTE bands into a "fatter download pipe", has anyone actually seen faster download speeds? Chicago seems to be the first market with confirmed live Carrier Aggregation, so AT&T users should be able to see download peak rates in excess of 100Mbps when Band 17 and Band 2 are aggregated (10Mhz + 5Mhz). Other usual suspects should be dense urban markets like NYC, LA, SF, Detroit, Dallas, etc... Keep an eye open!

You can verify this by accessing ServiceMode:

1. dial *#197328640# and tap on "AS INFORMATION".

2. Check the first line which tells you if CA is enabled but not configured, Disabled, etc.

3. Post a Screenshot of that page.

And of course check the speedtest.net app, and monitor speeds :)
