[Galaxy Tab General] shEEEsh:
An agreement was announced under which AT&T will acquire T-Mobile USA. The agreement is the first step in a process that, including regulatory approvals, is expected to be completed in approximately 12 months. Until then, we remain a separate company and continue to operate independently.

We know our customers, business partners and others may have many questions.

Here is some more information:

Will my service change?

There is no change in your service and we remain committed to ensuring you have the best experience possible experience using your T-Mobile USA products and services.

Will I now be billed by AT&T?

No, your billing remains exactly the same. T-Mobile USA continues to operate as an independent company. As always, you would receive advance notice to any changes to your services.

Why is T-Mobile USA doing this?

Bringing together these two world-class businesses will create significant benefits for customers. The merger will ensure the deployment of a robust 4G LTE network to 95% of the U.S. population, something neither company would achieve on its own. Also, because of our compatible networks and spectrum, the customers of T-Mobile USA and AT&T will experience improved voice and data service almost immediately after the networks are integrated.

Will T-Mobile USA’s quality be reduced?

No. In fact, the combination of AT&T and T-Mobile USA will offer an even stronger service to customers. Until the acquisition is closed, we will work hard to maintain our position as the value leader with America’s largest 4G network.

If the acquisition closes, will I still be able to use my T-Mobile USA phone?

Yes. Your T-Mobile USA device will operate the same in the future as it does today.

Should I wait to sign-up with T-Mobile USA or upgrade my phone?

No, T-Mobile USA offers the latest wireless devices that are affordable on America’s Largest 4G Network and the combination of AT&T and T-Mobile USA will mean even stronger service for our customers. Now is a great time to be a T-Mobile customer.

Is T-Mobile USA getting the iPhone?

T-Mobile USA remains an independent company. The acquisition is expected to be completed in approximately 12 months. We do not offer the iPhone. We offer cutting edge devices like the Samsung Galaxy S 4G and coming soon our new Sidekick 4G.

Will my rate plan change because of the acquisition?

We will honor all contracted plans that are entered into before the change of ownership.

Where can I express my opinion on this?

T-Mobile customers can utilize the company's online Forums.
[Galaxy Tab General] areayetee:
The merger is good for At&t and T-Mobile, but consumers loose a bit of choice in a carrier who was willing to take risks and "keep the big players honest" when it comes to pricing and value. I'm not a T-Mobile customer nor have I been for a long time but I respect what they represented in the market place. If the merger gets green lit then wireless competition in the US dies a little.
[Galaxy Tab General] Digiguest:
A little. Have you HEARD all the moaning and groaning about how horrible AT&T is?

I wonder if google will go with sprint as their carrier of choice. I can't imagine that google will go with at&t. Google, a company that makes its money from people using its products on the internet surely doesn't want a company that doesn't have unlimited mobile internet and caps their users! I know this much the CDMA dev community will surely grow.

Bad for T-Mobile customers, and America in general. If only AT&T didn't have such deep pockets to allow this to happen. Also, Sprint and T-Mobile WERE in real, non-rumored negotiations, but AT&T has much more money, so, yeah.
[Hero CDMA General] abadasstanker69:
Highly unlikely considering sprint is CDMA and tmobile is GSM but this is irrelevant to us. Sprint did just announce the new google voice app that "seemlessly integrates" with sprint phones...
[Hero CDMA General] user7618:
Unlikely or not, it was a rumor floating around for a little bit. I'm sure Sprint talked to them about it.

I downloaded a calculator app and would like to replace the stock one with this one. Can I change the app name so it will be in the same order as the stock one? Also if I can where would I look for the app to rename it? I use root explorer for my file manager. Rooted no roms or themes
[Droid X General] maneddi:
Trying for answer again.
[Droid X General] chefthomas99:
Or just delete the stock one and then rename your desired app as whatever you want called
[Droid X General] chefthomas99:
In root explorer... go to system.... app... scroll to desired app.. long click it to bring up a menu to do what you need.

[Defy Android Development] wvdschel:
Hi,

From what I've gathered (and please correct me if I'm wrong), Motorola has locked down their devices by requiring you to sign any replacement kernel with a secret key. This process is enforced by their bootloading code.

We can't replace the bootloader or the kernel without this key, but we do have root access to the Defy. Would it not be possible to write a kernel module, and load it using insmod on a rooted phone? Is insmod available on Android?

This kernel module would then run in kernel mode, and should thus have access to any and all features of the processor and the entire memory space, right? Can't this be used to load a different kernel into memory, reconfigure the MMU to put it at the appropriate memory address, and then have the phone boot the new kernel?

The limited modding that has been done on the Defy and the uncertainty about upgrades down the road are the only thing that keep me from buying it..
[Defy Android Development] wvdschel:
Never mind, apparently this is what http://freemymoto.com/tiki-index.php does, so not only is it possible, it's already been done.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteiceDMSTech:
Over the last few months, I have noticed that my phone tends to get stuck on the splashscreen ALOT. I notice it when I reboot the phone. I can't remember it really ever being like this.

Someone did make a custom boot screen (The Michael Jordan symbol by Rydah in the Theme's and App forum.) I am in no way saying it's this or his fault or anything, I just have noticed it happening a lot sometime after I added that file.

I have flashed a lot of rom's here and there (always wiping ALL and using the format.all 2x before flashing a new ROM.)

I was wondering if anyone else has encountered anything like this and if they were able to correct it somehow? Or, if anyone has any suggestions on what I can do to try and correct this so anytime I reboot, it reboots normally instead of locking up?

BTW, when it locks up, I do the battery pull and let the battery sit for 30 seconds before I put the battery back in and reboot.

Thank you,

Whiteice
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well the phone will take slightly longer to boot up once you wipe the caches, because they have to rebuild. Do you wipe your cache and dalvik when flashing a boot animation?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
That's never really happened to me on a consistent basis. I've got stuck at the splash screen a couple of times, but it was my own doing one way or another. How long do you let it hang on the Splash screen before you pull the battery? Sometimes mine will sit on the splash for a good minute or so during a normal reboot. After wiping cache's it can sit there for a good 3 or 4 minutes sometimes. I've caught myself pulling hte back cover off the phone to yank the battery, then I notice that the boot animation was starting, and it booted up. I just wasn't patient enough. Have you tried changing away from that boot animation, temporarily, to see if the problem goes away? I doubt that's the cause, but you never know. And if it started happening right when you changed boot animations, I'd say the first thing to try would be changing out to a different one, and see if the problem persists. Has this been happening on any ROM/Kernel combo you've tried? Perhaps it's the kernel you're on, have you tried another? Do you use SetCPU?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteiceDMSTech:
Thank you for the responses.

Just to make sure, it is not the boot animation but the splash screen (Originally the white screen that had EVO on it) that I have changed.

The boot animation screens are usually the ones that comes with whatever ROM I am using. I have done the particle motion boot animation from time to time.

And, anytime I flash I flash in recovery, I always ALWAYS wipe cache and dalvik cache (Unless I am flashing a new ROM, then I wipe everything 2x prior to flashing it.)

I usually let the splashscreen sit for about a minute, maybe 2 if that. I was under the impression that if the splashscreen sits there for more then a minute, then I should battery pull to fix it?

I use different kernels to try them out depending on if I am using a sense based or AOSP rom, and it seems to happen no matter what kernel. I do not use SetCPU.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Oh I gotchya, so it was the splash screen you changed to the jordan symbol. Yea, I mean, most of the time it will pass by the splash screen in less than 30 seconds, but for whatever reason, from time to time it will sit in the splash for a little longer than normal. If it goes past 5 minutes then yea, that's too long. It shouldn't take that long. Have you tried a different kernel?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteiceDMSTech:
Yes, I try different kernel's all the time and it happens on most of them.

It seems that anytime it freezes up on the splashscreen and I reboot, and it still freezes up on the splashscreen that I have to reboot into recovery (AMON 2.3) and wipe cache and delvik cache each and every time for it to clear whatever is going on. Then usually it reboots fine the next boot after doing that until I reboot again and it locks up. Then repeat above.

Thank you,

[Nook Color Accessories] tj!2k7:
So I was looking for an efficient way to tote around my nook, ecig stuff, and and other odds and ends to and from work, and while I'm out in the field.

I generally don't carry around enough stuff to warrant a backpack or a messenger bag, but saw that a coworker had a Versipack, and suspected that the rear/CCW pocket the perfect size for the nook... so I picked one up, and it is. Now I just need a name tape to make this one mine. :D

So for anyone who's interested, here's the Maxpedition link, but it can be had cheaper at other various online vendors:

http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/FATBOY-VERSIPACK-4p31.htm

And of course some photos; as you can see it even accommodates the nook with silicone skin and neoprene sleeve. The pack itself is very well-made and looks to be extremely durable. Thumbs-up on this.
[Nook Color Accessories] magicalsleeper:
I agree the fatboy versipack is great for this. I had the type-s for my kindle originally, now I use it for my wookie (nickname for my wonderful nookie), Evo, usb cable, wall adapter, keys, and a few other things. I love my fatboy =)

Aaahh... the good ol' Fatboy... I think I had one of every color at one point LOL, even a few Jumbos'. I'm also an EDC junkie... Right now I'm pimpin' a Tactical Tailor Modular Operator Pack for large edc/shtf, a Tactical Tailor Enhanced Daypack (now discontinued) for regular daily EDC. The Nook fits perfectly in the slip pocket behind the admin area of that. Then theres' a custom bag I had made that acts as a removeable organizer that I keep in the latter. This list goes on....

Can the regular one hold a NC and a Dell mini 10v? Or would I need to get the Jumbo?
[Nook Color Accessories] KDOG2020:
The regular one would hope the NC just fine but for the additional 10v you would need the Jumbo. I found that when loaded the Jumbo got too heavy and made me lean. Unless your a bigger person you may want to consider a small backpack like the Tactical Tailor removeable operator pack I just got. Nice and small and out of the way but still holds plenty. Got mine a few weeks ago and its fantastic.

The good way to manually select the radio use in the phone is to type:

*#*#4636#*#* when you want to make a call.

Then, scroll down until you see the words say "CDMA + LTE/EvDo".

Click that and change it to "CDMA PRL Auto". This is for 3G only and disables LTE/4G.

If you want to change it back and use 3G/4G, just do the steps above, and instead of "CDMA PRL Auto", change it to "CDMA + LTE/EvDo" (you can also change to "LTE mode" if you want 4G only).

There are a few free apps you can use to automate this radio switching:

Yeah, I also wanted to say THANKS! (I hit the thanks button on your post)

We live in a 3G only area, and while playing Pocket Legends, my wife would loose connection on her TB fairly regularly around 5-10 mins. (never timed it, but am thinking of doing it later) I have switched off 4G, as I am suspecting that it looses connection from the server when polling for 4G. The lost connection is only for an instant, but she gets kicked from the server and must log back in, so we will see if this fixes it. I am hoping that this is the problem and not some other reception issue with the TB. I have a Fascinate and never loose conneciton while sitting just 3 feet away from her.

Will report back and let you know.
