[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arctic Prodigy:
I can probably get the US Cellular much cheaper than a T-Mobile probably around $200 cheaper that is, not saying I would get one now but later around September when the G4 should be unlocked by then, For the T-Mobile network.

I notice the GSM Bands are pretty much the same and it also has the Band 12 for T-Mobile as well, I know that the US Cellular is Sim Unlocked right now and it gets LTE Data as well but not GSM calling because it goes through CDMA but when phone becomes unlocked I am sure we will be able to get the GSM calling working correctly.

US991 US Cellular

GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900

CDMA800 (BC0), CDMA1900 (BC14)

UMTS850 (B5), UMTS1700/2100 (B4), UMTS1900 (B2), UMTS2100 (B1)

LTE850 (B5), LTE1700/2100 (B4), LTE1900 (B2), LTE1900 (B25), LTE700 (B12), LTE800 (B26)

Only band missing from US Cellular that T-Mobile has is LTE2600 (B7) but US Cellular has a few more bands T-Mobile doesn't have obviously, so is LTE2600 (B7) really needed?

H811 T-Mobile USA

GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900,

UMTS850 (B5)UMTS1700/2100 (B4), UMTS1900 (B2), UMTS2100 (B1)

LTE850 (B5), LTE1700/2100 (B4), LTE2600 (B7), LTE1900 (B2), LTE700 (B12)

So what do you think? Would it be a better option at a lower price or should I just stick with an actual T-Mobile phone for the T-Mobile network?

For that matter the Sprint phone is also same bands as US Cellular too, but getting a Sprint Phone sim unlocked and bootloader unlocked would probably be hard to accomplish.

T-mobile just announced a new jump program. JUMP 3 times per year. that's pretty badass and probably answers your question
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arctic Prodigy:
I am actually a prepaid customer, so this has nothing to do with me and really it doesn't make any since for what I am asking. JUMP is a basic trade in offer if you buy into a 2 year contract, I don't see the relevance here, I am asking if what I am saying which would be a better deal US Cellular or just a T-Mobile phone, but us cellular you can get at a much cheaper price.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisokaly:
Actually their new program is 0 money down, pay monthly.... There are no contracts in T-Mobile anymore, so you may want to explore that as an option. Walk out of a T-Mobile store with a phone for $15. Plus they have unlimited data, not sure what US Celluar offers but heard really good things despite them being a regional carrier.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arctic Prodigy:
Ok, I will look into it a little more deeply, thanks.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfarrah:
Bands aren't really the issue (IMHO). What would be the defining issue for me is actual cell and data COVERAGE where I live and work. If you're in a good T-Mobile zone, go for it.

Unfortunately, we are not and my wife will be moving her service from T-Mobile to either US Cellular or Verizon shortly.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngominhnguyen:
Is the G4 from US Cellular sim unlocked or not?

Can anyone confirm it? :confused:
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrSteelX:
Just putting my 2 cents here. The t-mobile g4 is Bootloader unlocked so you can put twrp and custom roms on it now. The us cellular 1 in bootloader locked.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] windo34:
As the title says my phone is hard bricked on fastboot:

i was flashing a kdz file via flash tool and i took out the cable before it ends(lolipop kdz) after that i plugged the cable again and a realized that ive lost download mode(laf.img).

i had this problem when i was on kitkat firmware and i solved using the propers commands on fastboot,the thing is fastboot does not respond to any command and theres no way to get out this situation. i know its related with the bootloader and after reading alot and trying a few methods the problem still remais.

i dont know if i have any chance on this or to i have to send the phone to lg

i kindly aprecciate any help on this concern

thanks in advance:)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mido3adhalet:
same things for me, my lg d855 is stocked in fastboot mode and non accept any things, help please
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] windo34:
this problem never happened to anyone? its strange that on fastboot it doesnt respond to the commands erase or flash it kept saying erasing for ever and nothing happen. im no expert thats why i asked for help. i dont know if its soft bricked or hard bricked either way it has to have a solution.ive seen many tutorials and videos but nothing specific to this problem so im wondering if its a new kind of brick.

once again im asking for help,please.

thank all of u
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsbighead:
If you guys cant boot into the os normally the only way you can fix this is through twrp. If you don't have that then im afraid the only way you can fix it is to kick it into Qualcomm USB Loader 9008 mode and reflash from there. I vaguely remember the only variant that fastboot commands work on is VS985 (which ships with a unlocked bootloader), the fastboot commands dont work for any other variants (Someone correct me if im wrong)

How to fix using TWRP shell:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

dd if=/sdcard/twrp-2.8.0.0_CHANGEME-signed.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] windo34:
thanks for the tip:good:

tell me one thing i have to write those commands one fastboot rigth?its like a bypass to enter recovery?cause if i have to write that and on fastboot it passes i think im good to go:o
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsbighead:
You cant write it in fastboot

you can only write it using adb or twrp terminal shell
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] windo34:
can u kindly post a link to the tool?using adb or the terminal shell i have to put the recovery.img on sdcard and then write the commands.

thanks in advance:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] krntehknik303:
Is anyone having issues with not being able to disable my T-Mobile account? For some reason I can't disable and it keeps turning back on ever since I did the update and factory reset. Do I need to do it again??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Synyster06Gates:
T-Mobile did that. They do not allow you to disable the app any more.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Lancerz:
Mine has been disabled ever since I updated to 5.1.1.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] grneyez:
If your rooted install Titanium Backup and freeze the app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Synyster06Gates:
If it was disabled before the update it will remain disabled. I updated then did a factory reset and can no longer disable the app.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PanchoPlanet:
Mine is also disabled since 5.1.1

You need to go to Privacy and safety and turn off "Report diagnostic info" .

Then it should disable.

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Lancerz:
I only disabled it a few days ago and I've been on 5.1.1 since the first day.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] krntehknik303:
That's what I did and it still won't let me disable it. Weird..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] krntehknik303:
I'm on the same boat as you.
[G4 General] chrisokaly:
Are you feeling like LG got one over on you? With the new T-Mobile jump program introduced today you can now jump 3 times a year, no cost. Badass.
[G4 General] Th3Bill:
Not in the least. I hated the Note 4, think the S6 looks like a larger iPhone6, could never deal with the underwhelming camera on the m9, and frankly would never own another iPhone. That didn't leave me with many options when I got to the point where my options were 1) I was going to use JUMP to get away from my Note 4 or 2) I was going to throw my Note 4 at the wall.

So far, I love the G4.
[G4 General] partylikeaninjastar:
You're basically paying the same amount of money, but you no longer have phone insurance.
[G4 General] bigz1981:
ummm...I have phone insurance with Jump...it's included, but I don't care to be able to upgrade early at no cost. I will pay my phone off early & have my bill back down to where it used to be.
[G4 General] Th3Bill:
If you're already active in the existing "JUMP" program, you don't lose that. It's only on new one. I guess I'm glad I have the older JUMP.
[G4 General] partylikeaninjastar:
If you're already an existing JUMP user, you don't get to JUMP On Demand. You have to pay off your phone and then sign up with JUMP On Demand with your new phone. Which will no longer have insurance unless you want to pay an extra $8/mo.

If JUMP On Demand included insurance or at least let current JUMP members switch to it right away, it might be a bit more appealing. As is, meh. I'll pass.
[G4 General] Th3Bill:
Exactly. I feel the same way...having existing JUMP, I don't feel like paying off my new phone I got 2 weeks ago. Besides, I doubt I'll be upgrading from this device this calendar year. I'll stick it till 2016 and see what everyone brings to next year's party :)
[G4 General] boynamedstacy:
I'm a new t-mobile customer as of this phone. What exactly am I missing out on with the new jump program? I think I'm still within my 2 week period and can make the change still. What's the benefit?

Sent from my G4 whilst wishing for root
[G4 General] Th3Bill:
Nothing...smoke and mirrors. It's actually a reduced version of the old JUMP program. You lose the device protection, but can JUMP 3 times a year or something. Same price tho...10 bucks. Better off on old plan if you have it
[G4 General] shook187:
My 2 week period is over Saturday, im considering returning it and rebuying with the new JUMP.

I always envied JUMP1 and hated everything about JUMP2. JUMP3 is every bit as good as JUMP1 with the option to waive the $10 fee if you feel you can do without insurance.

I challenge anyone on JUMP1 explain how it's better than JUMP3?
[G4 General] Th3Bill:
Now after reading further, I understand your point.

Truth be told, JUMP 2 (which I'm currently on) is really a bit of a ripoff. I am not clumsy with my device, so I don't need the protection, I don't use Lookout, as I find it just alerts me to every site I am going to as being "safe. And then comes the "Jump" I did to get the G4. I had a Note 4. Owed right about $600. I pd $280 to bring device to half price (after paying $10/month for the 6 months I had the phone). So, $340 out of pocket. I could have sold phone on swappa for $450-500, costing me $100-150 to pay off the phone out of pocket. #IntelligenceFail.

Looks like I'll be cancelling my JUMP 2 program LOL.

So, LG didn't get one over on me....T-Mobile did....DOH!
[G4 General] NardVa:
Was going to get the G4 the other day from T-mobile, but will wait to get it with On Demand. It's the same cost as EIP and there is no $10 fee like regular JUMP. Set myself up to use On Demand in a few months for the rumored LG Pro G4.
[G4 General] Zachary droid:
Each time you upgrade, you have to put money down again, and the money you put down previously, doesn't roll over to the next phone you get, so it doesn't seem worth it to upgrade that much, unless you have great credit, and don't have to put anything down each time, Im almost done paying off my G3, after that, I may get the G4, or wait until fall and get the G4 pro, or whatever it'll be called,.
[G4 General] vansmack:
You don't have to take it back if you're still in your grace period.

Just call them up and have them add Jump On Demand or switch from Jump to Jump on Demand. I did this yesterday.
[G4 General] shook187:
Call the store or 611? I thought its only currently available in stores only starting Sunday?
[G4 General] vansmack:
Call 611. I purchased my G4 online....
[G4 General] willjohnson:
Just FYI, i was told by a salesperson that if you have the original JUMP, NEVER<EVER<EVER<EVER change it, no matter the wording of anything new that comes out,the original JUMP the best plan they will have now or in the future. Just what a T-Mobile sales rep told me. This was prior to this new plan, but if you are an original JUMP member i would think twice before changing, just research it well and make sure its the right choice.
[G4 General] vansmack:
I'm impressed he could see the future. I'd ask him for stock tips too....

No plan is prefect for everybody - research is always good but a blanket statement like that with no idea what the future holds is a little naive.

I was on the fence about leaving the Nexus line when I went to the G4 so I added Jump. This new leasing plan is simply a better piece of mind plan for the next 6 months as the new Moto X, rumored LG G4 Pro and the next Nexus are announced. I'm happy to lease phone(s) for the next 6 months and sort it all out then....that't the beauty of t-mo. I can always opt out and purchase outright.
[G4 General] BDestroyer8418:
are you sure about this? I was told I have to go in store. Bought in store and only retail stores have this ?
[G4 General] shook187:
It makes no sense... If you're "never never never never change it" then are you even jumping?
[G4 General] BDestroyer8418:
You can still Jump on the 1st plan your grandfathered in that plan but what they mean is you shouldn't change to the Jumpondemand plan.

They have Jump 1, Jump 2 and the new OnDemand Jump. Jump one you had to wait 6 months right between Jumps but the key was you didn;t need to pay 50% off which Jump 2 requires.
[G4 General] willjohnson:
I mean never change the plan...not the phone lol.
[G4 General] NardVa:
On Demand is the best Jump plan. You get 3 Jumps in a year, no $10 monthly fee, and you don't have to pay sales tax on the total cost of the device every time you Jump.
[G4 General] LancerV:
Its also only 18 payments instead of 24, so yeah if you have the original jump its still a better deal
[G4 General] MicroMod777:
No way I'd get any device without insurance! So with jump on demand you can't have insurance? Sounds crazy.

Edit.. Just read insurance is $8. Sweet deal!

"Existing JUMP! customers can get a new smartphone with JUMP! On Demand the next time they upgrade, and won’t have to pay that extra $10 per month because the ability to upgrade whenever you want is now included in your monthly phone payment.* And, if you still want device insurance (Premium Handset Protection), it only costs $8 per month."

http://newsroom.t-mobile.com/media-kits/jump-on-demand.htm
[G4 General] NardVa:
The monthly fee for the phone is the same with Jump 1 and On Demand for the first 18 months. After 18 months under On Demand, you have to upgrade the phone or pay off the remaining 6 months all at once. Under Jump 1 you can continue to make your monthly phone payments after 18 months, but why have Jump if you are gone keep your phone for almost 2 years. You are just wasting $10 a month. With On Demand, if you decide to keep your phone, you just pay it off after 18 months and you didn't waste $180 with the $10 monthly fees.
[G4 General] 20degrees:
Leaving out the part where you may need a down payment though. Jump 1 doesn't need it. And jump 1 customers can jump to any phone they want, jump on demand can't.
[G4 General] BDestroyer8418:
Jump 1 and Jump 2 still include the Insurance coverage and Lookout Mobile Security I believe they will cost you $8 and $4 if you are on Jump On Demand so don't say your wasting money. Just thought you know that though. If you are someone that likes to have Insurance then Jump 1 or Jump 2 was a good deal with Jump 1 being better since its $8 a month anyways and for extra $2 you got Lookout and Jump feature for the $10 depending on what Jump most likely you were going to Jump in the 6-12month range.
[G4 General] NardVa:
Right. There are some advantages to Jump 1.
[G4 General] vansmack:
Yes. They sent me a customer survey via text on Thursday, which I answered. They called me Friday evening to discuss my answers from a local # (San Francisco). I gave them a list of the dead spots I deal with on my daily commute, etc.

He said, "anything else I can do for you?" I said, if the new Jump were out I would have signed up for that, but I bought my phone a week too soon.

He said, yes, you ordered it on June 6 which is out of the grace period so I can't move you I to Jump On Demand.

I corrected him and said "No, I ordered it on June 6 online, but it wasn't delivered until June 17, so I'm within the grace period. He agreed, put me on hold, came back and said" because you're in your 14 day grace period, I've converted you to Jump On Demand. You'll receive a new ESP statement on Monday when the Jump on Demand program starts. "

I said thanks and hung up. Never set foot in a store.
[G4 General] rkn5555:
The fine print

I read the fine print. This jump on demand. Is a pure lease. With penalties for when returning the phone. 3 point check. Cracked screen, $260. Water damage $260. Doesn't power on &$260. You don't have the option to buy it out.

So, you pay a monthly fee. Then if you have one of the things listed above you get charged that. So, if all 3 things are wrong with your phone you have to pay all 3.

Info at this site
[G4 General] NardVa:
You can buy the phone out right at any time between months 1 and 18 or buy the phone out right after 18 months.
[G4 General] vansmack:
Yes, this. It even says so in the article rkn5555 linked to, but perhaps misread:

"If you want to do it before the end of the 18 months, you pay your Purchase Option Price plus any remaining lease payments."
[G4 General] vansmack:
Well, you guys were right.

T-Mobile just called me back and said that they were unable to do what they told me they could do on Friday and that I would have to go through the "buyers remorse" ordeal to be moved to Jump on Demand.

What a bummer.

Sorry for the confusion, but I was only going off what they told me they could do. I'll clean up the mess I left in the thread.
[G4 General] 20degrees:
Be aware that they can still charge you a down payment....
[G4 General] imna357:
1st in my place, got the g4 yesterday
[G4 General] BDestroyer8418:
That's what I thought no worries though the reps are still not 100% what's going on. I decided to pass on the OnDemand Jump not worth returning for the restocking fee and buying it again etc. I don't need to upgrade that often and plus I'm switching to Harbor Mobile Unlimited everything $53 same tmobile network. So I'm just gonna pay the phone off and switch in the next month or 2.

It is nice to be able to upgrade often if some of you guys are developers or just buy phones often not a bad way to go at all. I had the Note 2 for 30 months I doubt I'll go that long again between upgrades but once I rooted it and custom rom got me through another year+ really wanted to upgrade last fall but didn't want another Note was holding out for what the S6 was going to be and then after I seen that waited to see what the G4 would be and decide to go with that.

I do like the power and volume rocker on the back I can't tell you how many times when I was watching a movie or something I would tap the power button on my note 2 or the volume. I thought it was funny was doing some side by side testing with the 2 phones and I kept double tapping the Note 2 like it turn on and off the screen HAHA.
[G4 General] 20degrees:
Honestly there's no flagship releases every 3 months anyways.
[G4 General] vansmack:
True - you can probably get a way with a new phone every 6 months based on release dates, but there are enough phones on this list that I would have liked to try at least 3 of them out:

HTC One M9 - April 10

Galaxy S 6 - April 10

LG G4 - June

Moto X - Late August/Early Sept

iPhone 6s - Late Sept

Galaxy Note 5 - October

Nexus line - Late Oct / Early November
[G4 General] NardVa:
If you just got the G4, you could jump to the IPhone, Note 5 then the Nexus all within the next 6 months. Most people probably start loyal to a brand so yearly upgrades make sense.
[G4 General] 20degrees:
I don't do iPhone or Samsung. I jump from nexus to LG.

Where is Aroma Installer Template???
[Sony Xperia M] rohan4991:
Hi all,

Over a year back, I updated my Xperia M(C1904) to JB 4.3(latest build) and the experience since then has been quite mixed for me. While I am loving the updated walkman, album and movies apps as well as the apps and of course, the camera, constant lags has been ruining my experience as a whole. Furthermore, dunno for some reason, my internal memory keeps on decreasing despite not installing any new apps or updates and clearing cache constantly. So now I wish to revert to the original build(JB 4.1) which was super smooth although I will be compromising on my camera. So I have a few questions:

1) How to revert to original ROM? (Factory reset maybe?)

2) I play subway surfers and have unlocked a lot of stuff. If I backup my game data and restore it upon reverting to original build, will the game data remain in tact?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia M] CJ2311:
You simply need to flash an older version of the firmware to your phone.

This page has detailed instructions on how to do so, as well as links to various firmwares. Although some of the links are dead...
[Sony Xperia M] rohan4991:
Thanks but I will rather use sony's official flash tool instead :) one last thing, what about my subway surfers question?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia M] maniganala:
Helium app by ClockworkMod from Google Play may work...

Didn't try it because never needed it. I'm just mentioning it because it is the most used app for data backup of games and apps. But also Google's own backup and restore option from Settings>Backup&restore>Account for backup may also work. Good luck.
