[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek4484:
Walmart's Straight Talk cellular service now offers two GSM phones, the Nokia E71 and something else. I'm pretty sure they're on AT&T's network (Data specs say 3G - 850/1900 bands). So if I got one of them and their $45 unlimited plan, would that sim card work in my captivate?

My bill is $95/month and thats with only 450 mins, 1500 texts, and the iphone grandfathered data plan. Straight talk offers unlimited data, texts, and minutes for $45/month.

Has anybody tried this?

----BUMP----
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
I thought that straight talk was through Verizon.. maybe it was called something else.

I know that the phones are on the "low-end" range of devices - and I doubt you could move your current phone to use this service.

I'd suggest searching the ol' intarwebs and see what the reviews are of it's service/availability.

It'd be nice to have all that in a 50$ package - but if you don't get service as soon as you walk out the store what would be the point?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootnik:
It is, with the exception of these 2 new "smart" phones. These run off the at&t network. Evidently wal-mart is big enough to pull this off.

I'd be willing to bet that ATT will be paying close attention to the IMEI, I don't think we would get away with using the straight talk unlimited plans with our captivates :(

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek4484:
I was hoping that somebody on here would have tried it already. I personally dont know anybody that has one, otherwise I'd put their sim card in my phone and see what happens.

The two phones on straight talk are legit smart phones and could burn through some serious data, same as we an do with our captivates.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootnik:
The problem is AT&T.

Currently they do IMEI sweeps to make sure you are paying for a data plan if you have a smart phone. I found this out the hard way last week when they automatically added a data plan to my wife's iphone even though she did not use a single byte of data.

How does this relate? While those straight talk phones are smart phones capable of using allot of data, they are not near as nice or as comfortable to use as our captivates. You are more likely to use more data with a captivate, and they know this.

I wouldn't be surprised if they already have measure in place to periodically check the imei to make sure it matches one of the "acceptable" smart phones. Acceptable meaning not very fun to use :D

I think you would get away with it for a few weeks, but eventually would be shot down.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harpo1:
Actually several people have used the the sim card out of straight talks nokia e71 and used it in there Iphone for sometime now. I have an old AT&T Fuze and everything works but MMS.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadams47:
To directly answer your question, I placed the Sim from my sons StraightTalk Samsung slider phone into my Captivate and the message "Sim Card Crashed" appeared on the captivates's display. This did not actually crash the sim card, but I think that it just appeared crashed to the Captivate. If somebody out there was able to get a Captivate working in this manner, it would be nice if they posted detailed step by step instructions on it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
[RUMOR] Verizon was handling Straight Talk, but someone got their panties in a wad and more its att. They are slowly changing thing over. My brother has ST, and was fed up with lack of vzw service on his ST phone. He called raising h*#$ and they offered to send him a sim card for a gsm phone (his old att leftover), and things have been good for him ever since.

FYI: Straight Talk is the monthly service branch of TracPhone.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoull:
Basically yes it is possible to get your captivate working on straight talk. Technically there's a bunch of bs you have to go through to get it to work though.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guy3o3:
So while browsing through my contacts, I came across this error "The Google Service Framework (process com.google.process.gapps) has stopped working unexpectedly. Please try again."

I've did a little bit of research on how to fix this error. So far, I've tried to clear my data with Gmail but that didn't help. Some people have tried reflashing the rom and doing a full wipe but they still get the error.

Does anyone else have a clue? Thanks in advance.

I didn't find any information about that in the desire hd manual or after a google search.

Any help is appreciated!

Someone pointed out froyo was on the hero and they've never had even a LEAKED OFFICIAL build of it to work with...and now they're on their way to 2.3...

Is there something in the epic that makes it harder to port?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubby323:
Nothing makes it harder to port, its just a bit easier to port things and upgrade kernel versions and such with the 2.2 source instead of pulling the initramfs editing it and pushing it back in and hoping you don't get a kernel panic. (;

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] difrent7:
Previous hero owner here. I was running cyanogenmod 6.1 on my hero but it took a long time for it to be a daily driver. Hero never had 2.2 but yeah after a lot of hard work they got it working. We have a cyanogenmod build coming for the epic but yeah it is gonna take some time to polish it up. Either way I am very happy with my epic even on 2.1.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ansong:
I don't need froyo (or any other update) for any reason other than to patch vulnerabilities...which are currently unpatched.

The more powerful these phones become, the greater chance for them to become a target for malware. A botnet of mobile phones might serve as a wakeup call for the carriers.

Hey guys, i have a question about those free mp3 download app, are they all legal?

I know we can download mp3 for free but isnt it illegal? I just dont wanna get in trouble..

Guys please enlighten me.. Thanks!
[Click Themes and Apps] alpick36:
I wouldn't have thought downloading music without paying for it was legal.

You have to pay for all your music downloads when downloading them from music sites, but think of the programs as sharing music with your friends ;).

How many times have you bluetooth'd music to/from your friends phones ?

Hello all. I have been searching and searching for the app called Reader's Hub. I have a US Version Sprint Tab that I just got yesterday. I found, what I believe to be two files, the Reading Hub.apk and Zinio_pressdisplay.rar.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilbluemirage:
My Vibrant just stopped working...

My Vibrant is unlocked (purchased code from a site) and was working fine for a week (got it 2 weeks ago). It's rooted and I flash a few roms and modems to test out what i liked. Yesterday, it decided to lose signal. I wanted a few hrs and still had no signal. I tried searching for a network. AT&T showed up and when I selected it, I got "Your sim card does not allow connection to this network". I've tried flash the modem, then the rom, and even tried restoring it with Odin. Non worked. I then tried a TMO sim and i got signal, but can't dial out...

Please help! I've search and haven't had any luck fixing it... Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kponti:
Usually when you flash a rom, it may wipe the folder containing your unlock code. Redo your unlock with the same code you purchase

When i do a "search now", AT&T shows up and when i select that it says "Register on AT&T" and then i get the "your sim card does not allow a connection to this network"
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggnoodle:
I ran into the same problem last week. My Vibrant was working in the morning, and then it gave me the same message a bit later on the day. I couldn't figure it out for the life of me. I contacted TMobile and they told me it could be a bad sim. I was taken back by this, as it was working earlier in the day. I ended up going to a TMobile store and got a new sim. It worked after the new sim was inserted.

Maybe you can get a new sim with ATT.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilbluemirage:
I popped my friends AT&T SIM in and still had the same issue...

I'm thinking of just getting a prepaid SIM and testing it out. That should be the same as getting a new sim, right?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggnoodle:
After the trouble shooting didn't work, TMobile gave me a free sim card. She noted my account and told me to go into a Tmobile store to get one.

I won't pay for a prepaid just to test it out...Can you contact ATT
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilbluemirage:
I talked to AT&T yesterday too... Tech said its the phone... contact the carrier/maker of the phone... They don't really help you unless the phone is AT&T branded... guess I'm SOL and might need to just sent it to Samsung for repairs... =T

Update: I flashed everything back to stock JI6 via odin. Just tested on my friends TMO sim (he has a vibrant also). It finds the TMO network, but can't dial out. After a few min, no signal...

Unlock code

I downloaded the SGS unlock app a while back but had not done anything but get the code.

I powered off, installed a different sim and unlocked the phone. It was some left over sim that I knew would not give me service. After unlock and a failure to connect I powered off and put the working sim back in.

I had a little difficulty with getting 3G to come back up. Edge data and phone worked. I had to go and force a manual selection of t-mobile and then 3G popped up.

Then gmail and syncing died. I restored gmail gmail-storage and sync from backup with no luck. I'm not sure how I got it to come up but I got a password prompt and after entering it I got it back. I still had a sync error message under accounts and sync but not when I pressed on the gmail account. Rebooting got rid of that error and it's back up.

Not a clean swap at all. I'm not sure why gmail hurled.

The phone remains unlocked. If I get another sim I'll see if gmail still has a panic attack.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nscott69:
Kinda dissappointed that it's not dual core, but i'm still fairly interested in the device. Time to open up a thread??
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lude219:
I was disappointed as well. But then again, I think HTC is flexing their muscles at maybe MWC this coming February. There hasn't been a true successor to the HD2, yet (just a lot of 'cousins' and 'brothers' ala EVO, DHD, thunderbolt, etc). Hopefully they'll put the new Snapdragon QSD8672 1.5ghz dual-core in there with an even thinner body.

One can hope, right? :D
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcase:
Not my first choice for a new device, but I will be on board at least until I can get my hands on a bionic.

I hope we can assume HTC will continue the trend of not nandlocking their newest phones.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magikspl:
I'm not really bothered by it not being dual core. I sold my galaxy s in anticipation and it was plenty fast after custom rom and kernel with lag fixes. I know we'll have a 1.2 ghz rom in no time.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZuneNinja!:
Honestly, who cares about dual core. 1ghz single core phones right now are running just fine without lag. I'm in for this phone for 3 things...

1. 4G LTE

2. It's an HTC Phone with a big screen

3. Getting rid of the Droid X's camera hump.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sna:
is there a gsm version of this phone? AT&T are starting their LTE services this year. I'm also disappointed about it not being a dual core.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bateluer:
I would think it would be pretty quick, given that the phone is so similar to the DHD and EVO.

I'd prefer a dual core device, but I'll watch the Thunderbolt to see how it pans out. An open Thunderbolt would be preferable to a locked Bionic, IMHO.
