3 Network - One (M7) General

Has anybody pre ordered with these? Also what do people think of 3 and the service they provide? I pre ordered a few weeks ago but havent heard a bean from them. Im a new customer to 3 after being with orange for a few years

I'm with 3. Have been for years! In terms of signal and data packages they're amazing. Not found anyone to come close yet. But customer services are terrible. And don't expect them to ever do you any favours like keeping you in the loop or even giving a bit of a deal tweak here and there. They are firmly aware that they're the only true all you can eat data supplier and thus don't bend for anyone!

Yeh. I've upgraded with them again though initially they told me I should have it this week even though it says 28th online. After speaking to them today it seems that was bull**** and I'll have it on the 28th....not even by the 28th any more....
Wish they could just be honest with you rather then just trying to get your money.....having said that I think a lot of suppliers have been a bit crap with the delays on the phone and not told people the truth.

Yeah I read delay with the suppliers but that's the production of handsets. To be fair this happens every year. 3 are quite good although their network isn't the best in my area. But not the worst. Customer service is ok.

^This.
Generally my signal with Three is pretty decent and even though I have much better speeds with GiffGaff, Three's unlimited internet sealed the deal with me.
GiffGaff claimed they offered the unlimited internet aswell but it really wasn't.
Luckily, I've never had a problem with Three though so I've never had to ring CS. That is meant to be There's only downside.

Screen cracked yesterday. Nothing wrong with the phone besides glass being cracked.
I have insurance but not sure I want to drop $100 on another Epic. Can I bring it into Sprint and have them replace the screen for $35? If not, should I just wait for the S3 and keep the $100?
When does the S3 release?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
They won't replace it for $35. That is for warranty handling repairs with no TEP. If it is clearly a drop they will leave you only the insurance option. S3's won't be out at least til the summer...still rumored with nothiing nailed down. Only thing set is the Galaxy Nexus on the 22nd this month.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Stick it out for a couple more days... for the gnex release. Trust me the s3 won't be out anytime soon... if the earliest, late summer early fall... least for sprint.

Yeah but I mean usually they have an actually phone advertisement... and the lg viper was supposed to release today according to our "proof" and it hasn't... maybe this month but I doubt it be the 22nd unless both phones release that day.

This confirms the 22nd for the Viper. And the Nexus was touted as being the "first" lte Spint phone. Lets hope they stick with that and release a couple hours early!!

I checked the Spring website and they have the Evo 4G LTE preorder ad on the front page but no mention of the Galaxy Nexus. This worries me a little bit.

Since they haven't built up the release for these devices my guess would be 21st or 28th. Sprint typically changes their device pricing on Sundays.
I just want the Gnote, hoping all three drop the same day

Nexus and Viper on the same day? Because I hope they're not releasing the Nexus at the same time as the Evo 4G LTE. Might as well wait for the S3 then.

He's either talking about the international version or his own phone that has a Snapdragon S4.
Personally, I'd take the 2gb RAM over a 1.2ghz quad.

yup, its samsungs home turf so of course they will work extra hard there. I remember they had the Galaxy s II with HD screen while the rest of the world rocked 800x screens the whole lifespan of the sii.
and also, its impossible to keep up with tech these days, no matter what you buy within a month or so possibly you will be sad because something newer is coming out, especially with androids. just gotta live in the moment to enjoy! :good:

I'm really surprised at how far back the US in the phone world. It takes months for a new phone to arrive on main carriers once it hits international. The only way to get a new phone on exact release date is to use prepaid and put a SIM in an international phone.

Carriers using purposefully incompatible frequencies and tech (both voice, 2-3g data and LTE) as well as FCC are some of the reasons.
Forget quad core. I cant imagine holding a quad core when this dual core gets hot as it is. I would probably burn my hand

There is a quad core coming?? I haven't heard of it.
The LG phone going to Sprint and ATT is going to have the Quad-core S4. I'm sure those aren't far away for the other mfrs too. Unless you're gamer it doesn't matter anymore. These processors are fast enough for everything else. Smoothness in the UI is down to OS optimization now.

This is sounds like they're going to sell the Intl version in the US. Until we see LTE+Quad-core here, that won't be a big deal.

New Unlimited 4G Service and Tethering

Ok so now that most of you probably switched to the new unlimited 4G/H+ data Service. It says you can't use it as a Hotspot aka Tethering! Anyone try it with your Rooted device yet? I want to test it for myself but for some reason my service is dead in my area. Called and they are working on fixing it aka Trouble Ticket! Anyways just wanted to see what everyone is doing with the new data plan.

To answer the origanal question... I am using AOKP and the built in tethering works great on the new unlimited plan..
As for those who still refuse to accept hspa+ as 4g do some research.. it was decided well over a year ago now that hspa+ is accepted as 4g since it is so much faster.. and fyi.. lte was granted this approval at the same time since it also doesn't technically meet the minimum 4g requirements either...
Bottom line I get well over 20 mbs do speeds..

yes we still get pretty fast speed, no complaints there. Still not as fast as lte though. I think it's because h+ is the same technology as regular 3g, but with a boost. Lte is a different technology where you can separate into 2g, 3g, or lte. However our 4g using the same thing as 3g. Yes they can call it 4g 5g 6g, or whatever they want but they're still using the 3g technology. It doesn't mask the fact that it's slower than 4g lte

Lte being a different technology in data was what i measured to be "4g" and the fact that it hit 60mbps down really did it for me. Is the new 4g lte advanced a different technology from lte? Or is it another marketing gimmick lol.

Is there anyway to add this to an Even More Plus Plan?
Lte is using a different tech. It will be called long term evolution. Why, I don't, but it seems too expensive for Tmobile probably for maintaining it and the signature style of evolution. Foundations for technology must be solid, and have a lot of hardware add-ons in terms of future sales in my best guess.

*SIGH* I Love Maxx - But One is So Tempting

Talk me out of exchanging for HTC One.
The one is boring after a week... The moto 8x is winning me over... Have multi cores to do different things is better than 4 cores all trying to handle everything. Plus the maxx is mad sexy and feels great in the hand. The one is sexy too but it chips easily!!

HTC one is a hype beast that just can't die. Just because it's metal it's getting insane praise. Battery life is abysmal compared to the maxx. Oh and its 6 months old so HTC will be dropping something along the lines of a one+ soon

The battery life on the Maxx is insane. I cannot kill the battery in one day. To me, that's the killer feature of this phone, and it's one the X cannot match.

I went and looked at the One tonight, it's really nice. The sales person said they sold 3 all day, not much for opening day.
I'm with you. Especially when you consider you can pickup the one for $99. I'm planning on picking one or the other tomorrow.

Is a great device, had one for a few months, but I'm enjoying this maxx much more. Battery life is insane, screen is nice, OS is perfect without any skins and the feel is great. Not to mention Motorola signal quality. Got to get what's best for you though, sense is still much better than touchwiz!

Yeah, if there was / is better developer support I wouldn't even consider. Root will probably come soon enough. I have 12 days to decide.

Here is a pic of my battery life on the second charge. According to Motorola the phone will learn your habits and battery life will get better each charging cycle.

For everyone, the HTC One is being sold UNLOCKABLE! There is an ota that prevents it, but if you buy it then prevent the ota, you can unlock the boot loader and do with it as you wish.

Okay... how did you do a screenshot?! I've been hitting buttons all day like an idiot and can't figure it out, lol. I came from a Samsung Galaxy Nexus (and no, not even the 4) so I'm going to use that as my excuse for my inability to figure it out.

Use this for photosphere. Works great, though only has 5mp normal camera. It is from GS4 GPE.

No signal and recovery not working

I flashed a international ROM on my 801 yesterday and it seemed fine. I rebooted the phone and then lost my signal + phone keeps rebooting. Backups do the same thing. Made a mistake wiping everything. Was able to use the LG tool to download a stock ROM but for some reason it still boots up 4.4 and with no signal then reboots. Stock recovery just boots for a few seconds then reboots. Thanks for any help.

I tried all these and nothing has worked. The KitKat Rom keeps coming up even when I use the LG Tool to flash a stock Rom. I notice around 80% the phone reboots while flashing the software. I wonder if I should try and power the phone off when it does that so maybe it will take? Probably a dumb idea...Have no signal or WiFi and the stock recovery just boots up for a second. The Rom stays on sometimes for a min or two so I can put small files into the storage. Not sure how to get twrp back on. If I do that maybe I can flash my modem back up and be good to go. Probably dreaming though. lol

I had the same issue and this problem makes me a little weary of rooting the G2 again, although I was able to go to stock unrooted without issues.. I've never had an issue like this the Samsung phones I've rooted.

LOL good luck with the Note 3. With LTE 800 coming out there is no way I would be getting a single band LTE phone at this point.

Still want to try and fix my phone. Trying to figure out how to get twrp or and recovery back on my phone. As of now the stock recovery just boot loops. Phone powers up for a min or two and I can get small files into the internal storage. No signal or WiFi.
I'm having the same issue with my Verizon G2. I attempted to restore to stock but am getting that same error in LG FlashTool. Any suggestions??
