The LG Nexus 4 is supposed to not have an LTE radio.. WTF!

My mom has a GS3 on T-Mobile and I think its a great phone from the amount of time I have interacted with it.  If I were getting one on VZW, i would get the developer edition.

There's no need to. With the leaked unlocked bootloader, you can pretty much turn the regular GS3 into the dev edition.

I read differently on the LTE radio in the LG N4. All we can do now is speculate though. Everything that has been leaked has been different.

My brother has the GS3 (were both on Verizon) and he absolutely loves it.

Whats the developers edition?

[CrackerTeg]

Basically a Nexus with Touchwiz. Everything is unlocked and you can tweak to your heart's content.

I will be calling Verizon today.  My VZW app is telling me that I used 3.81 GB of data in 10 days... When every month for the last two years I havent used more than a GB... Something fishy going on here.

[Arielit0oo]

Don't use that app, dial #DATA(#3282) To know exactly what you've used. I hate that damn app.

If that says you've used it then you have...  

I hate when people say "well I've never gone over my minutes in 20years!! This has to be wrong" yet... We have the call logs to prove it lmao.

[accordguy04]

Well I called him and he said he cant see what sucked up all the data until after its been billed.  But I mean seriously, I know where your coming from but for 2 years I havent gone over 1.5 GBs with an unlimited plan and now I used up 3.5 GB in 10 days???  That  doesnt sound strange to you?  I always have it on WIFI and if theres a network, I connect to it.

[Jeff Likes Bagels]

What kind of phone do you have? If you have an Android phone running ICS 4.0 or later, you can set data limits, as well as view what apps are sucking up your data. With the downfall of unlimited data, it's a fail on Apple's part to not include this feature in iOS6.

[accordguy04]

DroidX.

[Arielit0oo]

Theres no way we can tell what you were doing to increase your data. We can, however, see the times you connected to the internet.

Is it possible, Ryan, to spike up in data easily. I have only seen such data usage issues with the Mobile hotspot devices, which is still rare.

If anything, I can take a look see what's hapnin'

[gargantula99]

Ariel, I swear your job has you brain washed.  Think about the little people. 

That being said, I still have an unlimited data plan, so :-P

[accordguy04]

Well I just found out about the data saver feature (better late than never I guess), so hopefully that will help.  And I also turned of syncing and gps, just to be overprotective. 

Idk what happened... Well see what happens come end of month. Lol

[Arielit0oo]

Nelson, I keep my sanity working here because I actually give a fuck about people. I'm like the only person that waives upgrade and activation fees when I'm not supposed to . I also always do shit for people that others wouldn't even bother so   off! Lol

[accordguy04]

So... Im calling them again today.  Last night I was lookin at some shit on Verizons site and I found a breakdown of data usage.  Dates and amounts from 10/8 - current.  The dude told me they couldnt see this til after I was billed.  So I took the info and downloaded it into Excel and guess what... It only hads up to 1.32 GB... Where the fuck are they getting the extra 2.6 GB that they are claiming I have used?  So Im gonna call and ask.

[CrackerTeg]

I currently have a GS3 on Verizon, and I think it's a great phone. I had a DX before this, and I think that it's an excellent upgrade. The phone feels solid despite it being a polycarbonate plastic something, but I have read that the screen cracks easily from drops. Definitely get a grippy case. I'm currently running a CM10 based rom, so I don't have to worry about Verizon's shit with taking forever on the Jelly Bean update.

Jeff, which ROM are you running on it? I just looked around on XDA and found out that one of my favorite dev teams has made a GS3 version. JB of course. Reason I ask is there are more and more leaks coming out of how the new Nexus won't have LTE and the GSM GNex doesn't either. I'm not happy.
