No you can't get rid of it, just have to wait until the next billing cycle.

We used to have a fix for this but T-Mobile closed it quick.
T-Mobile also pays attention to XDA threads, by the way.

I thought I saw a thread on resetting your apn (ie do a search for network)or something along those lines

Yeah, that will actually work for a while. So will changing your apn to voicestream. You'll have to reset every time you reboot or use wifi but it does in fact work

Nitro Update

When I turned my phone on today, a message appeared in my notifications about checking device and there was an icon that looked like a star.

aaaaaaannnnnddd?
I had the same exact star, but when I clicked on it a pop-up appeared and said something like the device manager was loading, but then it kind of froze. I checked for am update under settings - about phone, but nothing was available.

And.... same thing. I went to check for an update, but nothing. Sooooo, what the hell is this device manager?
Same thing.
It happened yesterday morning, then no updates available after checking for a phone update.
Second time this has happened with me, and nothing noticeable resulted either time.
ics??
ics 4.0 is coming?

About time I say. But cm9 is stable enough to be used as a daily driver

Yeah, wish I could install it!
Sent from my LG-P930 using XDA
If this is the same star notification I have seen before, then it is just spam. I used to get them from time to time and it was just spam from some app I had installed. I wish I could remember which app, but it's been a while.
This happened to me.I clicked on it and my apn settings changed. It was at&ts way of using the original PTA apn because I was throttled.

You're saying if you get this message then that means you're throttled?

No, they just delete your new apn so they can throttle you when you hit 5 gigs. I leave it on a different apn so they don't throttle me

Simple mobile data wont work on my tmobile s3. Please help!!

Hi I have a tmobile s3 and im using it for simple mobile and data doesnt work. Messaging and calling works but internt doesnt work . I updated my 4g plan
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Are you running stock? Any mods?
Check the imei number, make sure its not zero.
Also, where did you get the phone?
When did you upgrade your plan? Maybe its an account issue and you either need to wait a while or call the carrier and reset the account.

Wrong section. You need to post this in the q &a section. You probably lost your imei number.

Also, is this a new issue? Did you flash/install/add or remove anything?
I was able to fix it by full wiping and re installing JellyBam 7.3
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I had this happen a bunch of times with my skyrocket, then my ATT S3, and finally with my friends Verizon S3. I just deleted all the different APN s. Then manually entered the APN info that I saved on my skyrocket or a text file. All is well now. FYI I've always had a tough time figuring out APN settings even with XDA. So I actually got my APN info from an activated phone in an ATT store one day and have been using that since.
Definitely not well documented on these forums that I've seen anyway... Please correct me if I I'm wrong.

Sprint connection optimizer

I deleted the sprint connection optimizer from my phone and am now getting download speeds of about 1Mbps whereas before I was getting 150-200Kbps. It might just be me but worth trying out if you are rooted.

And unlocked. You can't remove apps unless unlocked. Or you end up in a boot loop.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
I always remove it first thing on any ROM. Even on my GS3. It took up so much battery by itself by turning my wifi on and off and messing with my data.
So once rooted and bootloader unlocked would I just go to system/app and delete what? Is it the WiFiOffLoad.apk and the WiFiOffLoad.odex? Thanks

Has anyone tried it with a locked boot loader? I know removing Google and LG stuff causes Security error on boot, but I have frozen sprint apps no problem

Is there any merit to this? How is deleting C.O. making your download speeds faster?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Whether or not this works for anyone else or why it works for me is unknown. All I know is that before and after the deletion my download speeds increased. Whether or not it coincided with a network improvement that is causing my speed increase I don't know.
I have compared my results with a friend with the same phone but is completely stock and my download speeds are significantly more than his.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Well it doesn't hurt to try. I'll check if it does anything to my speeds and report back.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
I'm not sure if it's a fluke but it does seem that I am getting better download speeds. Top 2 scores are with C.O. uninstalled and bottom 2 are with C.O. Installed. Maybe you are onto something. I'll perform more tests later on since there isn't sufficient data to prove this yet.
Edit: Before I tested with/without C.O, I updated the PRL. Both internal/external IPs were different. No speed changes were seen without updating PRL with/without C.O. I doubt removing C.O does anything to increase speeds.

If anything the connection optimizer is annoying and deleting it does clear up some resources.

I want to try this but I don't want to unlock again. Could I freeze the application? Or disable with autorun manager with no ill effects?

Trouble with global mode

So I'm visiting family in Austria and had Verizon set me up for global. Now that I'm here it just won't work. I'm set to global but there's no signal at all. Verizon had me try a few things but no go. Is there anything I can check that might be missing or need to manually add? I'm using EclipticOne ROM.

Under settings --> Mobile Data --> Preferred Network change the setting to GSM/UMTS.
I went through a few different settings with Verizon but it didn't help. Would the absence of any system apks cause this to not work? Or some other internal config?
