[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FancyMonkey:
I noticed that the notification icons in the upper left hand corner of the lockscreen don't show up anymore after updating to Lollipop. On my phone it just says "Sprint" and I asked a co-worker who has a Note 4, and hers says "Verizon Wireless." We know what carriers we have. I would much rather have the notification icons. I looked through the lockscreen settings, but didn't see anything there. Currently I have to unlock my phone, then I can see my notifications. I did verify that I did have a notification which didn't show up on the lockscreen. Maybe it is just not something that we can change with the Lollipop update, apart from rooting it of course.

Hi all,

I'm due for and upgrade soon and I was wondering what you think of your operator. Prices / Customer service and support / Network coverage etc.

EDIT-My original reason for this thread is below. I took the risk of going with Orange today and got a Trinity

I'm considering a Trinity (only on Orange atm) or a Hermes (on o2, T-Mobile and Vodafone)

I prefer to look of the Trinity (bigger storage card, size, cheaper and GPS) but I view Orange as a bad point, but the Hermes has more support and roms here and is available with my current operator - o2, who I plan to bribe with 'give a free phone and a better contract, or I'll go to t-mobile or vodafone.' Anyone had any luck doing that?
[Off-topic] Midget_1990:
reliability- vodafone

best deals - t-mobile

t-mobile wins :D
[Off-topic] damac:
Do you know if any of the UK providers offer unlimited internet connection (without the stupid 'fair use' policy)? I mean, really unlimited like usual broadband?
[Off-topic] Midget_1990:
err usual broadband is fair use too. only very few are truly unlimited :)
[Off-topic] chrisjasper:
How much are you planning on using? I find it hard to get anywhere close to the 1GB fair use "limit" on standard Web n Walk.

Unless you plan on doing a lot of streaming video, in which case you should get the Web n Walk pro which has a 10Gb ceiling, you will find it hard to download a lot on a pocket pc.
[Off-topic] delude:
bbobeckyj, I tried the same 'bribe' but it got me nowhere. I have always been on O2, but might have to switch to Vodafone because they have much better contracts that suit my needs for my XDA Mini S. Vodafon are bringing out a new internet extra as well soon, so I'm going to wait until then.
[Off-topic] mrvanx:
Well guys and gals I successfully ported across to t-mobile from O2....the data charges are just scandalous on O2.

Web-n-walk and U-Fix 25....nice

HSDPA activated already according to the woman at t-mobile and i can verify it was....just watched the latest BBC News feed without a hitch!.

NICE
[Off-topic] damac:
I was thinking of using skype a lot actually. For that, I think definitely 1 GB limit will be crossed fairly easily. But for that also need a fast connection. Will look into all this when about to get new contract near end August.

Midget1990: I didn't know that usual broadband is also capped! I have NTL and I download easily something like 20 to 40 gigs a month, which sometimes increases and sometimes decreases... So far never faced any caps, and got this connection just for that fact that it was 'really' unlimited, even if the speed was just 2 Mbps.
[Off-topic] mrvanx:
Just so you know, t-mobiles usage policy doesnt allow skype...you have to use the web-n-walk pro for that.
[Off-topic] damac:
Thanks for that!!!

You just potentially saved me spending a lot over nothing.

Now all that's left is to find someone who does allow unlimited usage and VOIP. I think I'm living in dreamworld :)
[Off-topic] delude:
I don't really want to pay loads for a contract, but it looks like the cheapest t-mobile do is about £30 . Which would you say is better out of web n walk and flext?

EDIT: Just looked at flext 20 and it looks perfect for me. (Mobile internet (t-zones, WAP or web'n'walk) charges

Browsing costs 0.73p per KB, a maximum charge of £1 per day no matter how much you browse the internet on your mobile phone.)

Please could somebody say though, where would the £1 for the internet come from, because the £34 you get to spend a month just says that you use it on calls and texts. Does it come from somewhere else? (Never been on a contract before)
[Off-topic] mrvanx:
Well all i can say is im using flext 25 with web-n-walk 18.....that works out at 32.50 a month..........unlimited internet (obviously fair use...but a gig is MASSIVE for a pda)

the flext thing has 60 quid of allowance, works out at (if you go half for text and half for calls)

300 texts

150 minutes (anytime,anywhere(uk) )

plus free weekend calls to ANY uk number (not including premium or 08 numbers)
[Off-topic] delude:
Youd get much more out of the flext + web-n-walk 25, but i really wanted to pay the cheapest option. I hate it when they put a few quid in between, but boost the allowance by almost double.
[Off-topic] mrvanx:
Yer ive noticed that...but the free weekend calls must be worth a HELL of alot.....think thats a limited time offer aswell??

Which have you looked at then?
[Off-topic] delude:
I was gonna go with flext 20 + web-n-walk.

I can't see when the offer ends, I can't actually start the contract now so was going to in a month or so.
[Off-topic] PayableOnDeath:
WnW MAX allows skype, its basicly everything like home Broadband but with 10gb fair usage, you can go over but if you go over say 3months in a row they may contact you and ask you to reduce it, allthou 10gb for a PDA is a hell of a lot, unless you plan on using it as a modem a lot of the time 10gb should do.

if you will be using it as a modem all the time then the t-mobile usb modem might be a better option as that allows unlimtied internet - http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/personal/.../internet-on-the-move/internet-on-your-laptop

I wish that t-mobile did a cheaper flext and web-n-walk. I only really want to spend £20 a month.
[Off-topic] dave the hampster:
Orange - best customer service, talk 7 data plans ok, do the Trinity on very good deals if you shop around

T mobile - plans excellent if you want flexibility or if you download a lot.

O2 - customerservice absolute ****, plans ok, once the best range of PDA's - now limited

Vodafone - havnt a clue

Really depends on deal your offered. Orange clinched it for me at last upgrade - 7 months free line rental and a free trinity with GPS on a 12 month contract.
[Off-topic] mrvanx:
One thing to note about t-mobile wnw.

They are blocking IRC/MSN etc... over GPRS, some users have reported those apps are working correctly however recently signed up customers seem to have ports blocked??

Id be interested to know if anyone can use IRC over wnw....if so what GPRS settings are you using?
[Off-topic] PaulMdx:
Short answer - no. I've been with Genie and then O2 for many years, and the one thing that's happened in that time is handset and contracts have become more expensive. I rang up a while ago to try and get a new XDA, and they wanted to put me on a £35+ contract and I would still have to pay something for a (decent) phone.

What O2 are good at (for me at least) is giving you dirt cheap contracts. For instance I got a 1 year contract of £20 a month reduced to £10 a month, then £100 cash back for not taking a phone. So I'm paying £20 for a whole year for Online Offpeak 300 (or whatever the hell it is). Even the O2 rep suggested I just get an XDA off Ebay.
[Off-topic] wizardragon:
It would have been good to include the piggybacking services such as virgin/tesco mobile/mint etc in the poll too.

Currently I am with Tmobile who i returned to about 18 months ago - its an old package now reduced to £16 a month for 200 mins and 40 meg, although its fairly difficult to use the 40 meg as it connects to my wifi in the house now - and most places in the city centre have open office networks. Although I guess is just a matter of time before some systems admin mimics an evil twin.

I left T-mobile in 2001 after being with them since 1996 or 7 when they billed me well over £200. After loads of calls it seemed to be fixed, until the letter from the debt collection agency arrived. Eventually I got someone in customer service who had a clue and did call back - he said he was amazed I had made over 30 calls and no one have bothered to check what i was saying - but the 30 calls was just the number who had bothered to note my call. After he sorted through it I owed them under a tenner - which he said he would waive for the lousy service. I then ended the contract mid way through as they had introduced charges for 0800 calls.

Then I went to Orange whose CS are worse. Orange CS are trained that unless you take out their insurance all problems are with the manufacturer.

WIth recent price increases with PAYG some foreign or roaming sims are now getting close to UK PAYG prices...

http://www.0044.co.uk/UK.htm#

...is 15p a min for any geographic/mobile UK call - however most foreign destinations are cheaper - at 5p to the US/cananda - 6p to Ireland - and 7p to most of europe. That site offers many other sim flavours too - funnily the sim for the country you are visiting may not always be cheapest depending upon where you plan calling.

Generally these sims dont do data - but there was an Italian one last year from a company called "Wind" offering 500 meg a month for 20 euros, which dropped to 133 meg when roaming - which was still excellent and had no bar on VOIP.

Going more off topic now - there is a newish UK company called Noodle who will offer you a sim/service that will pay you some of the termination charge of calls to you and also for outgoing calls they route - they figure it could cover more than your line rental (although at 1-2p/min you are swapping line rental for your brain being microwaved).

[Off-topic] RichardKAthena:
Pro isn't that expensive. About £22 IIRC. And then you get Skype or other VoIP, as well as "unlimited" broadband.
[Off-topic] bbobeckyj:
good idea, but I didn't iclude them for the following reasons

1 I started it for my own gain, to find out if the benefits of going with a better operator outweighed the negatives of buying a phone I don't want (cheaper and better (imo) trinity with orange vs expensive hermes on any other operator) and few people read the off topic

2 I wanted to keep it to companies that sell these devices

3 It didn't occur to me:o
[Off-topic] bbobeckyj:
In the unlikely event that anyone was curious I got a Trinity on Orange today, with free unlimited broadband included.

£50 today and £35/month thereafter

400mins/month 100 texts

unlimited browsing evenings at weekends on the phone for first 2 months

unlimited 8meg broadband at home

Much cheaper than t-mob:D and a better deal for my needs
[Off-topic] jasonchiu:
hey mate

this is what i did to get my Hermes.

I hunted ebay for about a week and got my hands on the vodaphone version for 170 quid with shipping and it was factory sealed.

i then went to phones 4u and talked till i got the most rediculous deal.

i;m with 3 and i'm paying...wait for it! 10 pounds a month 800 mins 500 text 25 video and 25 mms.

and i got a K610i with it. brillient back up and good phone to swap to when you going to do rough stuff e.g. clubbing where the Hermes is not the best phone to carry in your pocket!

so mate!

buy one off ebay for less than 200quid and then go to phones4u, reject every plan they throw at your first, carry on till you get a stupid deal! my GF's on 02 paying 15 a month 600mins 500text if you dont like 3 btw!
[Off-topic] bbobeckyj:
I always felt that eBay was a bad way to get a ppc - no guarantee, so many stories

of them being reported stolen after being sold (then imei blocked) etc, and the condition is unknown
[Off-topic] wizardragon:
But with 3 are you not wallgardened into what they choose you see on the net?

Also I remember 3 had started to glue sims into phones to stop them being unlocked and used elsewhere.

In 3s favour though - the inclusive minute can roam free in Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Italy, Hong Kong, Australia, and the UK.
[Off-topic] jasonchiu:
When using a 3 issued phone your able to go on the internet for a v.little charge. theres also loads of free stuff u can look at and use. each month your given 5 pounds to download whatever you want off their site (music games videos)

I dont use the internet when walking around so i am unsure of the charge. however, i did use a CAB to put in the network settings and one time when i accidently did go on the net it didnt work and said i need to use a 3 phone if i wanna surf the net and it doesnt work with my phone (hermes)

i'm not sure if you can chagne the settings to get it work though.

3's networks pretty good in birmingham and i've never not been able to make a call. customer service is good too. one time my k610i broke just before i got my hermes and it took 3 weeks to fix. i complained and got 10 pounds credit so i didnt have to pay for my bill that month, although i didnt use the line for about 2 weeks when waiting for my hermes.

Buying a Hermes off Ebay is ok i guess. I've bought 2 so far. One for myself and one for my girlfriend. Just buy ones which are still factory sealed or with loads of pictures and your able to be in good communication with the seller. Paypal is always there if **** happens i guess.

Hello Shreps,

I try to install your rom on my A700 with twrp and the install never really start. It stop with some commandline then it freeze.

I install lots of rom with different device and it never happen.

What I'm doing wrong?

Thks for the rom.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] kleSk_zer0:
I thought i had the same problem while flashing: twrp seemed to freeze, but after a about 15 minutes the rom was flashed (along with PA Gapps Pico).

First impressions: the initial setup (WLAN, google account) was extremly laggy and after each step the tablet rebooted.

After enabling Developer mode the A700 crashed and rebooted but they were enabled afterwards.

Unfortunatly a message that the storage space is running out popped up.

Next reboot after enabling expanded desktop.

WLAN, expanded desktop and camera work, bluetooth and GPS couldn't be tested at the moment.

This was the second lollipop build I have tested on the A700 and like on the other build the screen turns completly black on minimal brightness - I hope this helps.

I will test it now for a while before reverting to PacRom RC3.
