[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Jspex:
From how it was explained to me at the store.

They will pay off your device (up to $650 per line) and your contract if you have your att # ported to tmobile. Then you give them your att phone and buy a Tmobile phone and activate it on their service. They don't have contracts so it'll be month to month. I'm sure there is fine print about keeping a line of service open with them for a period of time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] SBA1226:
Since T-Mo doesn't have contracts, when you buy a phone from them, you pay for the full price of the phone spread out over 20 (or maybe 24) months. If you terminate your service before that time is up, you're on the hook for the balance of those phone payments.

This is the same thing as if you bought a device through at&t Next. Since you are not on contract, you are not subject to an early termination fee, but you are responsible for whatever you haven't paid toward the cost of your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] lildoggs:
I use to be an AT&T customer when I bought my last phone which was the note 3. Now I'm a happy customer of t-mobile rocking a note 4 with unlimited data for 2 phones for 100$. Life is good. Glad I moved to t-mobile when I did.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nyydynasty:
that $100 for 2 unlimited data lines is a great price. I know TMO extended that deal for 2 years but I just hope we wont get forced onto a different plan after 2 years.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] lildoggs:
Yup. They will probably find a way to force us into a different plan. But for now I'm enjoying it. On the note 3 with AT&T I was paying for 300mb of data. I thought if was super expensive. But now I'm happy with what I'm paying for.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] DARKCHYLDX101:
I'd jump on T-mo too. But I need to wait a few months. Hopefully the deal still exists till then. Unlocked bootloaders, unlimited data, lower monthly payments, timely updates. Sounds good to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] lildoggs:
They had me at unlimited data. Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] randpost:
I still have one line of AT&T currently. I switched 7 lines over to Tmobile. I'm lucky to be in an area with better Tmobile coverage and data than AT&T. Only downside I have is wall penetration of Tmobiles 4g. Wifi calling takes care of it for the most part though and you get a free 4g hotspot or free wifi router depending on your preference. The ASUS Cellspot router is pretty damn good.

I like AT&T physical stores better too. Something about Tmobile stores around me makes me want to get a carry permit. Thank god for webstores.

Unlocked bootloader/easy root = no bloat.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] yokozuna82:
I returned my Note 4 before the 14 days...I still have my note 3 it runs way better than the note 4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] gongtowjai:
From what I read, you will need to buy the phone & get a plan from them. You can just walk into Best Buy and buy the TMobile phone outright I believe. You will be paying full price + tax. There is a thread out here about using TMobile phones on ATT network. http://xdaforums.com/note-4-att/general/official-t-mobile-910t-att-thread-t2962920. This sounds tempting but I was playing around what the trade-in value for the ATT phone...less 300 bucks...ugh....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ShrekOpher:
I've owned both the N910A and the N910T and the AT&T one has WAY more bloat. Tmobile phone has a visual voicemail, and WiFi calling, that's the only non samsung added applications.

Also I tested the Tmobile service that came with my phone for about 2 weeks. It was good near any decent sized city. But once you get out of town it's gone. Also I had some issues inside old buildings with thick walls.

I stuck with my AT&T service, my grandfathered unlimited data was tough to part with. But the N910T is all around a better phone, even with the slow update schedule. (Still no lollipop)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ossito2012:
can not jump ship fast enough, as soon as S6 arrives at Sprint or Tmobile I am done with At&t, will fire sale my Note4, G2, S2 SkyRocket, and my lowly iPhone 2g, hello Sprint/Tmobile S6 already unlocked
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] thedonvaughn:
Yah I traded my note 4 for a nexus 6 and I could not be happier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Spawn026:
thats my plan but not sure i want to move it over to t-mobile. coverage looks good here but there are quite a few bad spots.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Jspex:
The coverage is what is making me hold off for now. That and the news that root has been achieved for the n910v and our n910a is being fixed up also.

Guess time will tell in that one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] ossito2012:
don't say that, lol, if S6 gets unlocked bootloader on At&t, I would stay with company, T-mobile has strange plans and Verizon seems no different from At&t I think
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] heXacode:
Sprint used to be great back in the early 2000's and was on its' way to be considered as the #1 carrier over Verizon and others. I don't know what the heck happened to them and their downfall.

I tried to find the article, that I read years ago, that stated Sprints downfall. WiMax does play a bit into Sprints downfall but there was another big part about Sprint going in the opposite direction of CDMA.

Wish I could find that article. It was a definite eye opener how Sprint was trying to be completely different and going the opposite way of all carriers to make it unique and possibly the #1 carrier. All of those methods failed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Spawn026:
If someone jumps ship could you share the process you went through. I get different answers from different people about getting paid.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nyydynasty:
a coworker just went thru this from Sprint. he had to pay all his Sprint bills in full and TMO gave him a form to fill out, which he had to specify all the Sprint bills he had to pay (i.e. device charges, ETFs, etc...). About 4-8 weeks later, he got a prepaid visa card with the total amount on it. Its sounded pretty simple but you had to wait for the refund/prepaid card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] Spawn026:
Thanks. That mirrors some responses I've received. Others have said you dont have to pay your bill in full, you just have to provide your final bill and you will get the money in 4-8 weeks. I dont have $1000 to drop for me and my wife to move so thats why I'm hesitant to make the switch. T-Mobile needs to have this info clearly stated because its confusing and can cause problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nyydynasty:
well, my coworker said that he had to provide a receipt in order to submit the form, so based on that ... you definitely need to pay it first.

Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] smokeingit:
Big blue

I was with AT&T and and i got tired of paying that huge bill every month for 4 phones. my note 4 and note 3 were paid off and the other 2 phones on my account were phones i bought on craigslist which are both note 2 tmobiles.

all phones are unlocked and rooted, so i did switch and could not be happier. i called tmobile about the signal inside my house and they sent me a cel-fi device to boost the signal. i once had 0 bars inside this old house, i now get 5 bars and the sound is clear as it gets. attached is a pic of the device.

P.S. i know the unit is supposed to be by a window inside a house, but it never rains here and my indoor cams that are outside have been outside for years.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nomoclutch:
I tried to set up ActiveSync/Direct Push on my 8525 to sync my corporate email without needing a laptop. I seemed to have gotten part way through the process:

The server pushed to me the new password policy complete with x-digit requirement and x-minute timeout.

When it came time to sync, it bombed (I tried another device - I just think my company doesn't allow ActiveSync).

I'm convinced IT isn't supporting that feature,

Problem - HOW DO I GET RID OF THE PASSWORD POLICY! I'd like to go back to my plain 4 digit PIN with the big keypad. I see some reg entries that must be associated, but I'm not sure.

I did a search on the forums, but didn't find anything. I appologize if this a newbie post ...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] hey_meonly:
AFAIK there is no easy way to do this other than hard resetting the device. I had the same problem I had to hard reset it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] shogunmark:
I could be wrong.. but from what i have read the password policy is set on the server and not the phone.. you would probably have better luck talking to your IT people than editing the policy on the phone..
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] DeniaL:
It is definitely set on the phone. It has to be disabled on the Exchange server before you can remove it from your phone. Once it's disabled on the Exchange server it requires a soft-reset before you can remove the lock.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] 006fazer:
Hi,

I have the same problem on my trinity ;-)

I delete the exchange server in activesync but security et here :-(

I found the solution :

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] positiveplus:
When I purchased my Nexus S 4G (Sprint), it already came with Android 4.1.1 (and an OTA upgraded it to 4.1.2) and slow, painfully slow. So slow, that my Nexus 1 running Android 2.2 (CM6) runs every app (installed in both) much faster.

So, I am looking to upgrade/downgrade it so that it becomes usable. Through a quick search I found out that there is a CM11 ROM specifically for the Nexus S 4G (sorry I can't post a link here as I don't have enough posts to allow that).

I downloaded it but before proceeding with trying it out, I would like to get an idea of what I am getting myself into and I would appreciate any tip or pointer you can provide:

The filename is cm-11-20140505-UNOFFICIAL-crespo4g.zip - what does "unofficial" mean? Should I be concerned about malware in it, or is it legit?

If I understand correctly, CM11 is essentially KitKat. Will this slow down my Nexus S even more? or is it expected to improve its performance?

Thank you!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahkah:
1. Go to http://www.cyanogenmod.org

2. Select Wiki and there click on "Devices"

3. Choose Vendor "Google" and look for "Google Nexus S 4G" alias crespo4g

After choosing "Development Channel" or "Release Channel" you can see all "official" builds. The latest one seems to be "cm-10.1-20140216-NIGHTLY-crespo4g.zip", thus the build you are referring to is not an official build, i.e. it's "unofficial". There are clever persons who get the source files from CM and do their own "build" on their computer. Some of them provide the built firmware to others. You either trust the person who built the firmware, or you do not. It's finally your choice. Do you trust Google? Or Microsoft?

So I recently upgraded to Lollipop and (re)rooted it. I used TWRP to install Xposed, but now it seems I have some issues:

- The phone takes a while to boot, "upgrading" 150+ apps every time I turn on the phone.

- I get a low storage space warning even though I've only used about 1.5GB of my space.

- I can't download anything from the Play Store; I guess because Android thinks I don't have enough space (although I don't get the low space error when attempting to download an app).

Good luck
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Z.Z:
I have just received an i747 from a friend and had unlocked it to be able to use my T-Mobile SIM. Now the phone works but I cannot call out OR receive calls unless the phone is on EDGE. If it has a 3g connection I cannot call out or receive calls for some strange reason. When I try to call out it will not ring and hang up after about 20-30secs. I can also not if I turn the data off completely.

The IMEI does match the back off the device and i have system reset the device. I tried it while on: stock unrooted 4.1 / 4.4 , stock rooted 4.4 , and a custom rom (currently SlimKat). They all do the same thing.

Any fix for this would be great. My best guess is there is something wrong with my efs folder but everything seems to be there so I am not sure.

At the very least is there a way to disable 3g all together leaving only Edge and LTE? Although this is a last resort.

Thanks.

Edit: I forgot to mention that messaging and data connectivity work absolutely fine and I haven't had a problem with that.
