Nexus 4-T-Mobile U.S.A Thread

The thread was not started for a Q And A.Because this is a world phone I thought T-Mobile customers can have a thread of their own.
Examples: pricing, deals,rebates, and yes even LTE info. All things T-Mobile.

They dropped the price from $549+$50 rebate yesterday, which I bought yesterday, to $457.99 no rebate today. Went back to price match today and the said no manager on duty, try again tomorrow.

The Thread is to gather info and to help each other out for T-Mobile customers in the U.S.I did a search and came up with nothing.

if you have root, add this to your build.prop file(/system/build.prop/) then reboot for it to take effect. see if it helps you.

I have a unlimited plan and I just tether.I was wondering if it comes with unlimited plans like the one that a person stated in a previous post or if I should expect a message from them.I always felt that root did the trick.

should you expect a message, probably, eventually, depending how much you tether. it took them a looooong time and lots of data before they stopped me. root has nothing to do with them stopping you from tethering, root just gives you "administrative" permission over your phone.

Any one know the what's the current city's that have/will have lte??

Agreed. The phone looks nice but I think the S4 is still better. I had a Nexus device once and it was ok. But the rom options are basically all variations of aosp/cm. It's nice having the option of TW as well.

The removable battery I could take or leave. I would've agreed with you about the SD card situation until recently, when I realized that I was using less than half of my card. I've also recently uploaded all of my music to Google Music, so my local storage needs are basically limited to photos and videos that I take with the phone. Even THAT isn't really a big deal anymore since it's all uploaded to Dropbox anyway.
Either way though, I'm willing to make the tradeoff at this point.

Good points all around.
I'm not up for an upgrade. It definitely is tempting. And I guess it would only be about $100 after selling the S4.
Just don't know if it's worth it. I can see where you're coming from after the issues you had yesterday.

Goodbye SGH-T679 (Exhibit 4g)

Well it had been an awesome 2 years with this phone, but it is just outdated and lacks speed. My wife and I are switching to the galaxy light, she had an S1. The quadcore makes a difference. And comes stock at 1.4ghz I'll miss this little phone a lot, but its time to move on. I'll still be around to answer questions but not on a regular basis.

Sad to see you go, but I understand. I had an S1 before the Exhibit and it was a nice phone. Good luck and nice to know you'll still be here occasionally.

Still using my sgh t679.
I like that it's rooted, small screen (hate the new mini tablet phones people have), and that if I lose it I won't be out 400 or so USD...
And suprising amount of apps are compatible, don't know how long this will last since i am still on 2.3.5 android.

Its so fast and it has wifi calling!!!! How I missed that.

Got it. $10 a month is really nice, but when I can get it for half that online, I will get it from ebay, maybe. I'm still waiting to hear from t-mobile about working at a store. If that happens, maybe I can get the phone even cheaper. On the T-Mobile site it's 0 down, $9 a month. Why are you paying $40?
Did you buy the phone already? QVC has it for $150 and offers financing to break up the payments without paying more. "Order two and save on shipping!"

Its not$40 a month, it was a $40 down payment. Because my credit is not the greatest.

No. It's 40 down 10/month, right? I understand about the credit. I have horrible credit, as well. I'm glad you're getting the phone. I'm very, very jealous.

Awesome. It's good to hear that it's as good as I have heard. And, I see you already know about the thread on rooting this phone. I think it's still too new. Being on the cutting edge isn't always so good. AD told me about the Light and only went to the S2 because it was already rooted. I'm gonna be patient and wait the few months until I can root it and leave it rooted-stock, anyway. At least for a little while, just to get rid of the bloatware.

That's mainly what I want to do

Kit Kat Antutu Benchmark

How many of you have noticed a huge drop in your benchmark after the kit Kat update? I was scoring right above the Gnote 3 to barely passing the gnote 2.

Sent from my LG-D950 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Mines below the g2 and it freezes and reboots itself now. At&t is sending me a replacement in a few days because of it

I just literally makes me wonder. I know not all devices are equal, but if I had known i would have taken this big of a performance hit I would have never upgraded. Other than the knock feature it just wasn't worth it. I could already take picture ect in 4k resolution on my device. Which seems kind of moot to me it only being a 720p display. I switched to art and yeah it was an even bigger hit. So i placed it back into dalvik.

You can easily flash back. Reroot etcetera, until they maybe get the custom recovery going and we can get some custom Roms. Also most developers will tell you that benchmark tests are really not that important.
