Huge thanks for posting this thread. Capped data was my only gripe with my current at&t plan. Thanks to you pointing this out I went to the atrix thread, met up with a fellow xda member and borrowed his iphone and now I have unlimited data. All within a few hours of finding out.
Careful, I clicked on that link and my virus scanner went off. Wiped out my PC as no exe files will run.

I can't tell if your joking. My head just exploded trying to figure it out.
I'm not joking. I clicked on it to read about it, and Avg went off. I quarantined the virus and now when I try to run an exe file my computer asks me what program to use to open it. I'm about an hour in trying to figure it out. I wasn't running anything else except for my browser window when it happened.

That sounds like a lot of work. I was talking to an AT&T rep the other day about how I could get my unlimited data plan back, he said,
"Call customer service, explain to them how you had the unlimited plan before & since switching to the 2GB plan it just isn't working out. When they tell you it can't be done tell them you'll have to cancel & go with another carrier. Just TRY it. That's all I'm gonna say."
So I'm going to give that a shot, hopefully they don't give me to much trouble.
I hope this works for me

If you had unlimited before you can have success with calling but if not the iPhone trick takes an hour of your time and works without fail.

Yeah but even if you have to buy one you can get them from an online seller with a return policy which winds up costing only shipping charges.

Isn't this community about sharing? If you don't like the idea then don't post a comment... I was grandfathered in on unlimited data and thought I would share with those that don't share the same luxury. (end rant)

I understand your point of view but not everyone had an unlimited data plan to begin with. I personally didn't and bought the captivate in September so I wasn't given the option. I tried calling back in Oct/Nov to try to talk a representative into giving me the unlimited plan but had no success. Another thing to consider is you may not be given back the plan no matter how much you complain/threaten to move to verizon. This is something that is known to work for the time being so I don't see why it's a big deal.
I had an unlimited plan before I got my Captivate and they told me I had to switch to the 2 gig plan because my previous one wouldn't work with smart phones. So my question is, did I get screwed and if so is it possible to call customer service and switch back.

switch your phone to LTE mode. mine rarely/never switches to LTE anywhere in my city, but when I set it to LTE mode it switches right away as long as there is coverage.
Weird weird! They must have only been testing a small area. Traveled (on Sunday) about 3 miles from my home and the 4G LTE connection was gone. By 10PM that same day it was gone altogether.

Hey Thunderbolt users! I currently have a Droid Incredible and my upgrade is due in 3 weeks. I was thinking of getting a 4G device and the Thunderbolt would have to be the best out and I don't care for the Bionic. I hate Motorola.
Anyway, I was wondering if there was a Thunderbolt user in the Arlington/Mansfield, TX area that could tell me about the 4G coverage. Is it spotty, slow, etc? I know Dallas/Ft. Worth has 4G coverage (and extended signal areas according to the verizon website), but I don't think I live close enough reach just the Dallas/Ft. Worth signal.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
If you don't have 4G yet wait for the HTC vigor to come. It's gonna blow the thunderbolt away.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
I'm trying to find out if my area is covered or not and I think I'm waiting for the vigor anyway. I guess I'll just have to go ask the Verizon guys this week. Do you happen to know when the vigor is colony out? I heard fall, but you know rumors.

The negatives depend on who you talk to. Alot have GPS issues along with bad battery life.Also people have been going through signal loss. The good is the screen and with some Roms debloat and optimize it. Once rooted you have alot you can to customize it. Best just to search and see what other people are going through.
Ok I guessing that we don't have miui.us on the charge what's the average battery life on moderate to heavy usage
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
With moderate use, I can get about 12hrs. That's including internet, phone calls. videos and just generally messing with it. I managed to solve the gps problem with faster fix from the market. I now generally lock on in 10 to 20 seconds. The screen is incredible. I truly enjoy watching my videos on it. Enjoy your Charge.

Not too many problems here except those that are hardware related... all roms I've tried run great, battery life is decent but I do have the infamous 'random data drop' bug and I've had a 4G sim replacement once (probably due to my compulsive flashing lol )

Here's the basics of my request. Live in a fringe area of 3g reception. My MAXX gets at least 1 bar more in coverage. Clients never complain of reception issues. GS3 gets inconsistent coverage... I have updated to the newest modem... works better but still under par to motto. Is there any way to allow this phone to use more power to transmit and rec signal?? If there is a working solution I will be happy to donate 200 to any dev that can make this happen.
Just inherit with the design? Or it possible to increase the phone signal power??

Just like in the real world, if you throw cash then we can do whatever we want.
You probably already know this, but, you will have to either wait for Verizon to release a new radio or install a signal booster at home. I don't think that your request is possible, I could be wrong though....

From what I understand Samsung reduced the radio's power to meet lower radiation standards. I think a newer firmware could solve this problem but the question is will we get one.
Keep it together
Thanks for the input. I will give you a call on the number you left.
Ps... tried the booster. In fact I run a 3watt kit in my car which works great. The in home kits I don't find all that great.... unless you are in front of the repeater. Basically too limiting imo.

Try a directional antenna and getting it as high up and away from metal objects as you can.. Look over at SolidSignal.com for some hints..

Really? If that's the case, shouldn't someone be able to come out with a kernel which ups the power of the radios? That would be absolutely amazing if they could!

Upping the power of the radio will also eat through your battery quicker and doesn't necessarily mean it will make the radio work any better..
Better designed internal antennas would be sufficient in most cases.. And since Samsung has a looooong history of dishing out poor radios, I doubt increases in radio power will help if any..

Hey hipnosis my friend has weak signal at his house as soon as he gets out of his house just goes to the yard he has full bars , could you recommend an antenna ? not to expensive that could help him out. Thanks he has VZW GNEX
