Return for a new Maxx? - Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have had data available on 4g yet ultra slow download speeds. Phone switches to 3g and it was faster than 4g until I called tech and the reset me on the network. It has been good since.
The other random problems are being connected to service but browser does not respond to touch. Have had to reboot twice for that.
Touch tones on speaker phone are not correct so my pins enter improperly.
Love the phone otherwise.
Should I go grab a new one while I can?

Yes. Mine works perfectly

Taking mine in tomorrow to swap. Hope to get a developers edition but will not sweat it if I can't.
Started doing slow download deal again and when trying to send contact card, force closes.

Here is what I am getting on 3g the higher numbers, and 4g, the one lower number(tough to get it to even connect on 4g).
If it wasn't for having my tonsils cut out yesterday I would have taken it back today. I have two days left to get a new unit.
Looks like my epic connection is not allowing me to attach the speed tests.
3g is 1.48mbps down avg
4g is .11mbps down the only time it would connect.

How would you exchange for that? You pay full retail or have they began subsidizing developer editions

They just swapped for another consumer edition and go figure, still having the same problem with data. Tech support said go get another phone. Has to be the network though.

One of the tier 2 guys did something to fix my phone, just not sure what. The new phone runs cooler than the first one as well so back to happy camping.
Due to a tonsillectomy I cannot set up voice actions for most likely another week.

I don't even think verizon sells anything but the consumer editions. You have to get the developer editions from Motorola. Right?

Nope...once you go to SM you are free of T-Mo. However, if you use Wifi calling or other T-Mo branded items you will not be able to use them on SM.
I did have a data loss last week with Simple here in Sacramento. They had tower issues. But nothing else of consequence.
One issue that I have had. On virtually every ROM is editing the APN. YOu can usually edit it once, but when you go back in often the APN's do not show up. Food for thought.
Lol. Hmm thank God. I'm going to get sm tomorrow. Thank you very much.

Actually you can and do get 4g depending on where you are located. I am in Sacramento and get 4g speeds on SM.
Your plan also has to do with speeds. If yo are on the $40.00 plan yes, you are restricted to 3g. If you pay $60.00 then you get 4G.
And no you do not have to unlock for SM.
They do offer a $60/month plan that has 4G. As usual the giant word plastered all over their website and retailers is "unlimited" - which, as we all know, is a load of crap. Yes it's "unlimited internet" - however you get 1gig at 4G - then the rest of the month you're throttled to a whopping 56k (so useless you can't even stream a song with it).
As for the disappearing APN problem - if you run the CM7 ROM, and you're APN's are not in there - all you have to do is pull the battery out, restart the phone, and the APN's are back in. Also as pointed out the specialized apps for t-mobile like the wifi calling app won't work.
Anyway - all that being said - I've been on Simple with my G2X for 3 months and it works quite well for me. Only wish they offered more data in the plans - so I try to stay connected to a wifi hotspot as much as possible.
I thought there flyer says 2gigs of data hahaha on the 60 dollar
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Yes you do have to be unlocked on simple mobile. You cannot use a simple mobile sim in a locked phone. You also get 2gigs of data on the $60 plan and 4g if available in your area.

Hmm, did you root? WiFi could be a boot.img problem. I've not had signal issues but flashing the latest radio or the eu radio fixed it for others. What? The One S has great battery. I get almost six hours of heavy usage [Games, Web, Music at the same time]. The only thing I wish for is more access to ram. There is no reason I should only have 200 free mbs.
Go to one s. It's tied at first for a reason. I have NO problems. Signal is great and very fast with great battery. Chicago

Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Gs3 is officially on its way back and rocking the one s again unlocked, rooted using axiom 1.6, twrp and latest eu radio. Reception has been awesome and holds steady no matter what. I do lose service at home which seems to be an issue with low signal strength on 4g and not rolling over to edge. Not a big deal because wifi is available at home. This phone just feels completely better than the gs3 and is definitely faster! Plus I have 75gbs of free drop box space ;-) so that makes up for any storage issues between the two.
How can the one s be faster than gs3? Gs3 is quad core

To get the unlimited data you have to pay I think an extra $10 or some sort of extra fee but the unlimited data doesn't include hotspot, for hotspot you have to pay for it seperately.

Actually, i'm not rooted (became unrooted with the last update and just haven't gotten around to rooting it agina yet, lol) and neither is a cousin of mine. We both stayed with my grandpa for a week (our grandmother passed away) and we were able to use tether. He used it for his wifi only iPad and I used it for my Nexus 7. Neither of us rooted, and neither of us got charged for using it. Both of us on T-Mobile.
I just upgraded to unlimited w/out hotspot. Only $10 more then my previous 2GB plan. I seem to remember some rooted ROMs getting around it awhile back though. Haven't tried, but hoping I can get around it still.

will samsung galaxy nexus value go up?

since google no longer sells the unlocked gsm samsung nexus, does anyone think the value will possibly go up on Dealextreme?
I don't think so. Since the launch of nexus 4, the only wayvi can see someone paying more for the GN is if he desperately craves LTE. So in US it might go up, but in other parts of the world, very slim chance
