At&t has something in this phone!

Hi it looks like At&t installed something in the phone that checks what you download on thair network. It doesn't let downloading torrent with adownloader. This **** is going back to At&t.

Even if that is the case, which I SERIOUSLY doubt, it will only be a short matter of time until we can remove/deter it.

I think he's right. At&t install that stupid Carrier IQ crap. My data has been on and off is like I can't visit certain web sites. Some load some don't. What's going on? BTW that carrier iq has been monitoring my network state so far nothing else. I will take a look at the service log soon.

I think it's network related. They working fine now. But that Carrier IQ is there on our phone. If you don't know what it is Google it.

And this is not on the OGSII?
How do you check?

Can Carrier IQ be removed with a DEV ROM?

I do agree with this.
Try going to www.justin.tv over 3G/H+ and see if it works for you guys. On mine, it doesn't.
Then if I try going to it over WiFi it works flawlessly.
Any ideas/tips to fix this?

What else AT&T want to do with our privacy or our rights to do whatever we want with our phones!!!???
It is true, mine have the same 400 error bad request at 4G but no on WiFi

yes there is a fix.
Add a NEW APN for the old HSPA+ ; the 'phone' apn
the new LTE's APN (pta) is restricted on the AT&T's end..
it has nothing to do with the phone

This is in my account. I had the personal smartphone unlimited when I got the Skyrocket they change it to this crap
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

that is the LTE Personal unlimited plan. The grandfathered.
tell me from the list of LTE plan you rather have?

i agree. I'm not too sure what the problem is but it seems to filter sites even when i'm tethering (i'm grandfathered).
The issue is fixed when i hop on MIT's vpn (which encrypts all connections).
Not happy about this

It's not actually unlimited.
I used to be on GG myself and everything was going great. Then I started getting my internet cut off because I was using too much internet. How can one use too much of unlimited? I literally ended up getting cut of twice in one week for using too much and all I was doing was streaming through Netflix.
Here's a screenshot of the message I sent to one of their agents about the situation.

I am currently on 500mb data, having to cut myself short as I'm averaging 3x that in a month. I think the most I'll use is about 3 gig, mainly Rom downloads. Won't be using Netflix or streaming media, but still like access to my files at home whilst I'm out, which is why I was looking at giffgaff.

With that usage, you should be fine with giffgaff then. I was clocking about a gig a day and they said that was too much lol.

Giffgaff offer very good options in the UK, just need to be careful to make sure you always have a goodybag including data otherwise your credit disappears rapidly. Even better now the goodybags can auto renew.

Look at OP. He just asked about our carrier and hasn't posted since. He never wanted to discuss about our carriers either, he simply wanted to know WHAT carrier we were on. The replies started the conversation on what carriers were good.
Since I posted second, all I knew about this thread was that some weirdo with barely any posts just wanted to know what carrier other people were using. He never posted his carrier either, usually you would at least say "to start, I am on AT&T" or other carrier.

I only installed the radio. I highly doubt they'll be able to just connect whenever they want. You'll have to accept the request cause that would be some form of invasion of privacy but I still dont like the fact that they tried to force it on the phone. A big FU to Verizon for that one

They can not just search your phone. When you call in if they need to use it, they ask your permission and before it is initiated you have to enter a code to grant access.
Having said that, don't take an ota if you're rooted

As soon as I saw this on my fiance's stock phone, I said "No way, no chance I'm going to update my rooted phone." Like others have said, if you're rooted, you shouldn't be taking the update. If you updated your rooted phone and ran into issues, these post have warn you already.

To my understanding, it was on our phones when we first got them. I've called into Verizon to troubleshoot a signal issue and the computer and technician both asked me to let the use it. I have always declined. My brothers Droid Razr Maxx also has this.

My thought is to use cwm to banish the update to cache limbo, where I can pick it apart at my liesure and choose what (if anything) I want from it before filing the update as a whole with my S3 data.
I miss the days when people wanted an ota to hit so we could pick it apart for new software, anymore it seems most people are afraid of it...

Remote Diagnostic is a really really old news. I have this on my Charge and I rooted the hell out of it with many many custom roms and kernels. I flash like 1000 times and when I need to exchange, I just flash back to stock and they gave me a new one. In short, it's nothing people, it just being used to fix your phone remotely, of course, before you give them permission to look around, you have to roll it back to stock first.

This was on my old Razr Maxx. As stated, you have to allow it for Verizon to use it.
And with it, Verizon was able to see how Flash video was broken on my phone after the ICS update.

People were saying this BEFORE this update apparently Samsung has a root checker on these phones. My Droid charge had the same remote diagnostics. They can only use it if you enter the code. So you need to know what you're taking about before you start flaming. By the way how exactly am I noob?
By the way read previous post of people who have used it AFTER being asked to.

Samsung warranty

So I have a hard bricked infuse. Don't necessarily need to go into deets on that. However, I can exchange my infuse through warranty. But there is a glitch; I have a hair line crack in my screen. Maybe an inch in the top right corner. Warranty will cover it, but cost me $370. I was wondering if I could just bring the phone in locally to have that crack sealed (if possible at all. Heard of people doing it.) then send it into warranty without them knowing the difference? Then get my new phone without that hefty fee. 
Plan b is to send it into the jtag peeps. I've already tried the jig. That's a no go.
Heres a pic of the crack. Its that black line in the corner. Its hardly visible.

If the sealant is good quality and the application is flawless then no. But make sure before you pay that the fill is completely without flaws including air bubbles.

Well they were going to give me the infuse, but since it was the second time sending it in I convinced them that maybe that model was a little buggy and the skyrocket would be better due to the similarities.
