Apr 17 17:28:00 <HattCzech> anyone else having issues with their pre3?
Apr 17 17:28:57 <HattCzech> issues = not receiving phone calls, text message, or emails... (or they are delayed)
Apr 17 17:29:20 <HattCzech> i believe it to be a carrier problem, but i don't know how to update the settings
Apr 17 17:35:54 <Herrie> Which Pre3 you have? AT&T, Verizon or EU version? What software version?
Apr 17 17:42:38 <HattCzech> AT&T, 2.2.4
Apr 17 17:42:56 <HattCzech> just started acting up a week ago
Apr 17 17:43:13 <HattCzech> had at&t reset some settings, got a new sim, and just doctored it
Apr 17 17:43:31 <Herrie> Ah ok... Hmmz... Strange...
Apr 17 17:43:55 <Herrie> If you have new sim, doctored etc that should do the trick normally...
Apr 17 17:44:09 <HattCzech> but i miss calls, takes me 3-5 times to dial out to make calls, and other various issues
Apr 17 17:44:16 <HattCzech> i was hoping it would
Apr 17 17:44:56 <Herrie> Maybe you can try another pre-paid sim on either AT&T or T-Mobile network... Could be you just have a bad sim that's not compatible...
Apr 17 17:45:33 <csc`> how old is it HattCzech
Apr 17 17:45:33 <csc`> how heavily used is the flash memory
Apr 17 17:46:00 <HattCzech> i've been using right around a year
Apr 17 17:46:33 <csc`> dropped it any?
Apr 17 17:46:50 <HattCzech> flash memory isn't used much: 11.9GB free
Apr 17 17:46:56 <csc`> not what i ment
Apr 17 17:47:09 <csc`> what i ment was wear and tear
Apr 17 17:47:09 <HattCzech> i might have dropped it a couple times (just noticed a crack on the top left)
Apr 17 17:47:30 <HattCzech> not as worn as my pre or pre2 were
Apr 17 17:47:38 <HattCzech> and haven't used it as long, either
Apr 17 17:47:41 <csc`> HattCzech, open the device info card and run the automated tests
Apr 17 17:47:50 <HattCzech> haven't dropped it nearly as much, either
Apr 17 17:47:54 <csc`> then run the manual tests
Apr 17 17:48:17 <HattCzech> running now
Apr 17 17:50:20 <csc`> should tell you systematically if anything is wrong
Apr 17 17:50:28 <csc`> if not, i blame at&t's garbage network
Apr 17 17:50:50 <csc`> the presence of CB radio may account to your lost calls
Apr 17 17:50:50 <csc`> or a truck stop
Apr 17 17:55:36 <HattCzech> quick tests were all fine
Apr 17 17:55:49 <HattCzech> i am not aware of a cb radio popping up at work
Apr 17 17:56:11 <HattCzech> i can agree about the network, but i don't understand why it's just my phone :(
Apr 17 17:58:17 <csc`> HattCzech, perhaps go to tmobile if available and say you're interested in switching from at&t but want to make sure the network is compatible with your device
Apr 17 17:58:32 <csc`> HattCzech, they *should* help you in that regard
Apr 17 17:58:34 <csc`> and let you test drive a sim
Apr 17 17:58:43 <csc`> what area you in, HattCzech?
Apr 17 17:58:48 <HattCzech> Austin, TX
Apr 17 17:58:59 <csc`> yeah im in metairie, next door to you
Apr 17 17:59:08 <csc`> im getting 3g off refarmed towers
Apr 17 17:59:25 <csc`> so if thats your reasoning for at&t, its nonexistant =)
Apr 17 17:59:34 <HattCzech> i have a nice discount with at&t, and my wife is on there, so trying to switch may not be feasible at this point :/
Apr 17 18:00:07 <csc`> how much do you pay
Apr 17 18:00:17 <HattCzech> 20% discount makes the price reasonable
Apr 17 18:00:35 <csc`> because their plans are being revised and their prepaid perks are no different than contract
Apr 17 18:00:35 <HattCzech> $65/person/month
Apr 17 18:00:47 <csc`> 70 a month for unlimited, and 30 for every other line
Apr 17 18:00:56 <csc`> so 50 per person after the first line, iirc
Apr 17 18:00:58 <csc`> for unlimited data
Apr 17 18:01:05 <csc`> and everything else
Apr 17 18:01:05 <HattCzech> hmmm
Apr 17 18:01:07 <csc`> yeah
Apr 17 18:01:12 <csc`> trump card :)
Apr 17 18:01:28 <HattCzech> that's the new t-mobile?
Apr 17 18:01:41 <csc`> not to mention you can bring any device
Apr 17 18:01:52 <HattCzech> yeah, i did like that when they announced that
Apr 17 18:01:56 <csc`> and if you choose 50 bucks instead of 70, all you do is get throttled data after 100mb
Apr 17 18:01:57 <csc`> its still unlimited
Apr 17 18:02:05 <HattCzech> i was hoping the other carriers would follow suit
Apr 17 18:02:09 <csc`> lemme prove it
Apr 17 18:02:36 * csc` sends #932# to network..
Apr 17 18:02:44 <csc`> 18.11 gb
Apr 17 18:02:51 <csc`> and I payed phone bill last tuesday.
Apr 17 18:02:56 <csc`> Pre+
Apr 17 18:03:46 <HattCzech> my problem is the lack of apps and trying to do ANYTHING on my phone now... :/
Apr 17 18:04:11 <HattCzech> LG needs to come out with nexus 4 lte with webos
Apr 17 18:04:36 <csc`> in the meantime, tmobile does carry the nexus 4 same price and the z10
Apr 17 18:04:47 <csc`> samsung is also coming out with android pebbles
Apr 17 18:04:59 <csc`> i personally dont care about apps
Apr 17 18:05:06 <csc`> we have plenty, the touchpad is the one that got the stick imho
Apr 17 18:05:17 <csc`> and atleast the majority are QUALITY applications, imho
Apr 17 18:05:19 <HattCzech> yeah, which is why that one is running cm10 right now
Apr 17 18:05:31 <csc`> im debating if i should update or not
Apr 17 18:05:33 <HattCzech> agreed
Apr 17 18:05:37 <csc`> you got your tp handy HattCzech?
Apr 17 18:05:40 <HattCzech> i like cm10
Apr 17 18:05:41 <HattCzech> indeed i do
Apr 17 18:06:11 <csc`> want to do me a favor and kick me off the fence?
Apr 17 18:06:12 <csc`> or are you busy?
Apr 17 18:06:25 <HattCzech> not too busy, just eating
Apr 17 18:06:35 <HattCzech> what would you like me to do?
Apr 17 18:06:55 <csc`> mind if i PM HattCzech?
Apr 17 18:07:01 <HattCzech> go ahead
