[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sfsilicon:
OOPS, this was supposed to be in the Q&A sections, can a MOD please move. TY.

----

I'm currently on a myFaves for Families 1000 plan with 2 lines and I have a grandfathered T-Mobile Android Unlimited Web + 400 Messages. This gets me to $110 and I hardly ever go over on text or calling. Data seems to be unlimited, but I think I only went over 5GB once and there didn't seem to be any slow down.

Does anyone still have the older Android Unlimited Web and is it the equivalent of the $80 Unlimited 4G LTE data simple plan? Is this truely unlimited?

I'm thinking of switching to a simple plan, I travel from time to time for work and would like to take advantage of the Unlimited data & text in 120+ countries & destinations and the hot spot feature. I'll end up spending $10 for $80 unlimited line 1 plus $40 3GB for line 2. Only downside is I will be giving up my grandfathered plan and if I ever leave my company I'll have to pay the extra $10 per month or downgrade to 5GB data. Any advice or ways to bring my monthly cost down? TMO offers $15 off if I change data plans and keep myFaves Family plan, anyway to get a discount on the simple plans?

Finally does anyone have experience using the unlimited data and text overseas?

TIA!

The data overseas is unlimited, but 2g speed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mike102871:
And 2g is barely useable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mardukeme:
International Roaming is usable, alot faster then being on Edge here in the states, even though it throttled. Viewing Web pages and emailing, gps, and voip calls worked fine. If you want faster speeds you can always upgrade to a higher speed package.
[General Questions and Answers] princeofsands:
I'm looking for help pertaining to how I can tether a phone to multiple laptops.

The background of what is going on is the following. I am moving to an area that I can only get satellite internet at. After finding out the amount of data I use I realized that I would need an unlimited data plan. I have only found 1 service in the area that provides unlimited data for home internet, but the speed of that service is poor.

I was told at a local sprint kiosk that I should buy a rooted sprint phone that has the ability to tether. After doing so I was told that I would be able to purchase an unlimited data phone plan at the sprint kiosk and then use the phone to connect my laptop to the internet with unlimited data use.

I am used to a pre-paid tracfone - smartphones drive me crazy and are mostly foreign to me. Can anyone confirm that I would be able to do what I was told at the sprint kiosk? If I am able to do this, then what kind of rooted sprint phone should I buy? Where would I go to buy a rooted phone?

Thank you.

This is the first time I root/flash my Xperia ZR from .101. This post is to document how I rooted my phone and the problems I encountered.

Tools I used:

Flashtool (Windows Installer)

by IJskonijn22

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2713073

C5503_10.1.1.A.1.310_GLOBAL-LTE.ftf: which can be downloaded from the above thread

C5503_10.4.1.B.0.101_Generic NL.ftf: which can be downloaded from the above thread

Idea:

1. Downgrade to .310

2. Root it

3. Install Recovery

4. Flash rooted .101 ROM

Steps:

1. Backup all the data in the Internal Storage

2. Backup apps data using Helium - App Sync and Backup

3. Install all Flashtool and driver

Flashtool comes with drivers installer. I checked "Flashmode Drivers", "Fastboot Drivers", and "Common drivers Lagan, Fusion3 board"

4. Enable USB Debugging

5. Use Flashtool and Flashmode to downgrade to .310

When asked to hold "back buttom" and connect the USB cable, hold volumn down instead.

6. After booting into .310, enable USB Debugging Mode and UNKNOWN SOURCES

7. Make sure you close Flashtool in your PC

8. Run runme_win.bat in DooMLoRD Easy-Rooting-Toolkit v17 and root the device

9. (Optional) After rooting, backup the TA in case you need to unlock the device in the future.

10. Run install.bat and install XZDualRecovery

11. Copy the ROM zip file to the SD card and flash it using Recovery

12. Swith Off the device

13. Use Flashtool to flash C5503_10.4.1.B.0.101_Generic NL.ftf, CHECK exclude system

14. Boot and after 1-2 minutes, reboot the phone

15. Restore apps data

16. DONE

Advice:

1. Take some screenshots for the homescreen before everthing, so you can put the apps icons back to where they were after rooting the phone

2. Check MD5 checksum of the files downloaded

3. Make sure the battery of the PC and phone are enough

4. Download everything before you start

5. Have fun

Some problems I encountered:

Problem with MTP/MSC USB Mode:

MTP mode seems cannot be used with Flashtool. For .101, you can find them in Setting->Xperia->USB Connection.

Using DooMLoRD Easy-Rooting-Toolkit v17, got stuck at *daemon started successfully*:

1. Make sure ADB driver is installed

2. Make sure no other adb.exe process is on

3. Make sure USB Debugging Mode and UNKNOWN SOURCES are enabled

4. Try Restart PC

5. Try uninstall drivers and install again
[Sony Xperia ZR] drZeT:
Hello,

for all fellow ZR users: you do not need to downgrade your ROM version to root it.

here is a simple way, you will only need Flashtool, Cyanogenmod kernel, SuperSu zip and original .230 ROM kernel

1 Backup TA, link provided in first post (this is optional but highly RECOMMENDED)

2 Unlock Bootloader, you will need flashtool and code from Sony

3 Download SuperSu and place it somewhere on your device

4 Flash boot.img from CyanogenMod 10.2.1 (unzip and flash only boot.img using fastboot mode - USB in holding vol+ while device is powered off)

5 Boot into recovery (power on, hold Vol+), choose "install zip from SD card", find where u placed SuperSu zip, install it and power off the device, do not do anything more

6 Connect device in flashmode (USB in holding vol- while device powered off) and flash the kernel form your 10.5.A.0.230 ROM (or any .230 ftf for that matter, for ex. this). Flash ONLY kernel, uncheck everything else.

Original instructions for previous versions of ZR firmware are here courtesy of NeoJeo

And if you dont have a ta backup you still need to downgrade to gain root.

If you dont you will lose the drm keys and bravia.

Skickat från min C5503 via Tapatalk
[Sony Xperia ZR] drZeT:
This is a way to root a ZR which includes unlocking the bootloader, it is clearly stated. Unlocking your bootloader is

supported by manufacturer

since it is Sony who provides you with a key. So I suppose it is no more unsafe than any other operation with the device, although yes it

voids your warranty

. That's why making TA backup is recommended, one can relock the bootloader easily with it.

If one's priority is safe play, do not proceed with flashing and rooting in the first place.
[Sony Xperia ZR] drZeT:
Derogate means belittle, make something appear less than it is. This is what you've done on Thibou's thread and here. It also means not being able to discuss thing in civilized manner, swearing and insults.

Cumbersome means inconvenient or too complex.

Lengthy means taking more time than one would expect

This is exactly what I have done.
[Sony Xperia ZR] sijav:
thanks for full translation of those words
[Sony Xperia ZR] ming0070913:
This method works with prerooted 4.4 too.

If you want to backup your TA, root is required. And if you are in 4.3/4.4 already, you need to downgrade to root your device tho.

I would say, you don't really need a phone shortcut onto the today screen. Just press the green "dial" button and that brings up the phone application no matter what screen you're in and press the red button if you want to return to whatever screen you were at before. However, I do recommend the free picture dialer plug in floating around here in xda. It works wonders right from the today screen, one touch dialing :D

Hey guys, this is my first thread on XDA!

There are not many S5 apps for 4.3 here...

SO Today, I want share some apps from the S5 which work correctly and the SystemUI.apk (Thanks to Zyr3) which look like the SystemUI from the S5. They have been tested on S3 i9305 LTE. I hope they work for all the 4.3 devices, you can test on your phone.

Don't say "There is a special section for the S5 apps" because most of the S5 apps don't work for 4.3, and the S3 i9305 in particular.

Apps:

S Browser

S Translator

S5 Camera

S5 Contacts

S5 Download Provider

S5 Messages

S5 Music (with widget on the homescreen and lockscreen)

S5 MyFiles

S5 Phone

S5 Settings (from Revolutionary S5 V3)

S5 Voice Recorder

and SystemUI.apk and S Finder (you need S Finder if you want SystemUI to work correctly)

DON'T INSTALL THE APPS AS NORMALLY APPS. JUST COPY AND PASTH THE APPS IN THE System/app FOLDER!

Just choose the apps of your choice :silly:

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] djb77:
I've had a quick look at these files before flashing. It appears that most of them are from a I9300XXUGNA7 Firmware (in other words a custom S3 ROM), in other words they are not genuine S5 Apps.

In other words, the core files like Contacts, Download Provider, Messages, Phone, Settings and SystemU are just modded S3 files.

So, I do have one question, which ROM did you rip these from?? There is no credit but I can only assume they're from Revolutionary S5. Does the dev know you've done this??
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Arfy34:
There is juste the SecSettings.apk which is from the Revolutionary S5 rom. For the other apk, i had founded them on Internet.

And sure, this is maybe S3 modded files, but they make my phone look like the S5, so...
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] sevsman:
The only thing is though, people are going to read the description where you state that the apk's are S5 and think that that's what they're getting, when they're not!

The ftf included with flashtool is.not what you.need. You need a ftf firmware from the mega thread in general. Locatetyou device in post and select your regions version or the generic versions. I recommend to flash the ftf that matches with your current install.

You also can enter recovery and wipe dalvic cache and factory reset and it should boot.

If not you must flash ftf. Ensure you select to wipe all and nothing checked in excluded.
