I've tried to use the tap and play at three different places showing the logo, latest being Walgreens, without luck. However at the Walgreens the cashier recognized what I was trying to do and told me that it doesn't work for anyone. So all of these stupid NFC terminals are out there and many...

Yes. Does the phone have to be unlocked as well as just woken up?

I have a DE and upgraded to KitKat. Wallet now shows it can be configured for tap and pay, so I set that up and it showed a little tutorial. So I go and use it -- and nothing. I just look like an ***** waving and pushing my phone against the terminal. The tutorial said you don't have to be...

Re: Developer Edition LTE signal strength weak on AT&T Make sure in settings, mobile data, network mode that it is set to use "LTE Auto"

It works fine on AT&T, even visual voicemail. I also used it with a Simple Mobile (T-mobile MVNO) the first month I had it. I got a lot of their "4G" service, but I live in a refarmed area. Outside of that, it was EDGE only. I never did get LTE on T-mobile in their Baltimore area, which...

I have an unlocked Developer Edition and Visual Voice mail works just fine. I just downloaded the app from the Play Store.

I got decent 3G coverage while there. I knew I wouldn't get LTE but was quite happy with the speed I got.

My wife and I are loyal iPhone users, really heavily bought into that entire ecosystem. But I recently wanted an Android phone -- and the HTC One looked really good to me. I knew that this Summer we had planned a trip to Iceland, and I can't live without Internet everywhere. I usually use an...

Beats Audio: Explained! - YouTube There ya go... It's on the Internet, so it must be true...

Keep in mind that I've read that the Beats off profile on some devices actually makes it sound worse than flat ... they EQ the bass and treble way down on the off profile. That way when one toggles between Beats on and off, it sounds like Beats makes more of a difference than it really does. I...

Check out this site. It shows refarmed T-mobile areas. Sightings of T-Mobile 3G/4G/HSPA+ coverage on 1900MHz (PCS/UMTS band II)

If that doesn't work for some reason, dial *#*#4636#*#* there's an option in there for setting network mode as well.

I know vendors can fiddle with the network indicator in the status bar, but try this... Dial the following number: *#*#4636#*#* About half way down that display is a field for Network Type that shows what you are currently connected as and will show LTE, UMTS, and maybe Wimax in case of...

Dragging up this old thread because I have seen the same thing. I have had an AT&T iPhone 5 for a year now and quite familiar with where LTE works in my area. I now carry my iPhone 5 *and* my HTC One Devel Edition around and have definitely seen that in fringe areas, LTE is weak or turns off...

Ah, I missed that. Thank for confirming I'm not crazy! Well, at least on this one little thing.
