IF the service ends up sucking (which given that they screwed up Cingular when they bought them), then I will switch to Verizon. We will see how this goes, if it even gets approved anyway, but at this point in time Verizon looks to have the better LTE network anyway.

Although the Evo 3D is tempting, I need a physical keyboard. Whoever has a 3D screen, multicore processor and a physical keyboard gets my business.
[G2 and Desire Z General] userfriendlyme:
I don't think after the merger "if" approved our phone will be paper weights I'm not seeing the problem if so I'm sure ugrades and so on will be offered. Most of us on XDA don't even keep our phones for a year so by the time this all happens will be on to the next best dual core device out there. I think with the pressure on the other carriers if this deal is approved we will probably see some good offerings from other companies to solicit our business. I'm sure verizon or sprint would love some tmo customers. Sad to see tmobile go but its the nature of the beast with this economy today were seeing allot of our favorite companies disappear. I've been a tmobile customer for 6+ years and I don't ever recall them being out of the #4 spot. This was bound to happen and I'm almost glad its with at&t then the rumored sprint. I have 5 tmobile phone lines on family plan all I can do is wait and see and make the best choice when its done for my money. I'm actually looking forward to better coverage and more phone choices.

[G2 and Desire Z General] robot_agenda:
agreed.

however, i want to see how long i can stay on my even more+ plan with att before making a decision. if i can stay grandfathered in and keep the reduced rate with unlocked phones, maybe i will stay.

thats a big maybe though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Same. AT&T's CEO said that they are "looking into" keeping the no-contract plans. Which means that they probably won't lol.

If I can stay on my $59.99 plan with no contract, and the service isn't complete abysmal, I'll stay with AT&T. If not, I guess I'll check my other options. Because I completely despise AT&T (as well as Verizon, boo CDMA) I really don't think I'd stay with them unless they can grandfather me in, which I don't think they'll do because they're not contractually obligated to offer me anything.
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
same for me i think... we'll just ride it out for now.

ive also heard about simple mobile, maybe ill check them out.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
Simple Mobiles uses TMO's 3G towers. The same towers ATT wants to build their 4G on. Which means no more 3G towers.
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
Who says simple mobile won't be paying att for the towers?
[G2 and Desire Z General] antbankz:
sprint

if the deal goes through,and the customer service starts going to **** like at&t is known for and pricing starts rising im outta here,will def look into sprint cuz there prices are good as well as there coverage,and they got some pretty nice phones right now(evo 4g,epic 4g,evo shift) so im guessing in a year they will have better faster phones all with FFC and dual-cores....hopefully
[G2 and Desire Z General] narunetto:
I would love to leave right now because I'm honestly just pissed off at T-Mobile as a company (I know that DT did it, but it's a branch of them) and I don't want to give them anymore business, but, I don't have the luxury of paying $1000 to pay the ETF fees on the account.

I'll be pretty screwed if AT&T doesn't nullify contracts and let people leave.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sakazuki:
Most likely Sprint. They're currently the closest to T-Mobile in pricing and unlimited data. Plus it looks like Sprint and Google are gonna be working more closely with the full integration of Google Voice and Google building their new gigabit broadband network in Sprint's backyard.
[G2 and Desire Z General] astriaos:
I'm going to have to go with Sprint as well. Even though their coverage where I am at isn't the greatest, they're the only other company that can get close to the rate plans that Tmobile offers.

Also: bugger paying $30/mo for a a data plan that I LITERALLY MUST PURCHASE TO ACTIVATE THE DEVICE even though Verizon has no 3g or 4g coverage in my area. God forbid I actually utilize a smartphone as a cellphone by turning off my data connection whenever possible. I already do this on Tmobile as they have zero 3g coverage in my zone and will likely continue doing it into the future.

Telecoms in the US are holding the consumer over a burning cauldron of oil and splitting them in half in the name of "good customer service." This unmitigated greed will not be stopped by those who are charged with protecting the populace from the foibles of big business.

Edit 2: Okay so I've done comparative pricing between my current Tmobile plan and a rough equivalent on ATT. All in all I would be paying an additional $6 dollars before tax and fees for 50 less minutes and no insurance on my device. The fact that unlimited texts cost $20/month is absolutely absurd as lets face it, that calculates out to something like just over a grand per MB of data transferred

In short: Go set your head on fire ATT. I will remove myself from the 21st century and forgo the conveniences of smartphones if it means giving you any of my money. I'll live in a box under a bridge enjoying sprint band coverage on virgin mobile for $25/month with unlimited text data and 300 talk minutes.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Odemata:
Simplemobile maybe a good alternative but I'm holding out for the LG phone which is supposedly going to work with at&t 3g signal as well T mobiles. Also my main concern is how Android friendly at&t will be since they are still committed primary to the iphone?
[G2 and Desire Z General] lukkystrike:
i intend to find out if the gov't approves, then i am going to upgrade all 3 phones on my plan, and lock in my plan for 3+ years, even if ATT acquires Tmo, they will have to honor all the existing contracts for at least a few years, that we we can see the prices level out with only 3 "large" carriers...I would have to pay 75+ more dollars for a comparable plan to my tmo plan on ATT, and thats just nuts, to step down on the customer support and network quality is just crazy, but in a way since all us tmo people have good service, i see that the added towers to ATT's network will improve it for everyone, and thats why ATT wants Tmo, a 'cheap' way to 4g, not to mention the spectrum space.:rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z General] shabgard:
Sprint for sure my parents just switched from ATT after 7 years to sprint cause I pushed them to do it, and I'm waiting for the evo 3d to come out so I can make my move.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drivendaily:
I have had my EVO since August and had the screen replaced twice for dust under the digitizer this Fall. Latest screen (003 Nova) has developed a blue vertical line about an inch from the right edge of the screen. This 1 pixel wide vertical line is a dark blue color regardless of the surrounding background. Seems like it is more/less noticeable depending on the temperature of the phone but has not shown any signs of going away for about a month now.

Took the phone into a Sprint store and they said it is deemed cosmetic and thus not covered for replacement under TEP, regardless of whether or not it is a hardware issue since it does not impair the functionality of the device. Phone has not been dropped and is in otherwise immaculate condition.

Anyone have similar experiences and/or possible solutions? Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunsparc:
That's not cosmetic, it's a defect. I would replace it in my store.

Sent from my HTC Evo 4G on the Now Network.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drivendaily:
Well I guess this means I should try another store when I get a chance.

Hopefully another store views it correctly as a hardware defect. It's pretty annoying to look at the line every day.

No it means you make your life easy and contact sprint corporate by phone, explain, have them make an eticket and go to your store and get r done
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SchmediumTux:
That is absolutely ridiculous. I would replace it in my service center. I would call customer service and let them know exactly what that service center told you. If you did not physically damage the phone, and there is no water damage, then the phone should function EXACTLY as it did the day you bought it.

Hi,

At last an Arabic enabled Froyo rom for my wife's Wildfire!

Much smoother than 2.1. One question though, I've installed the A2SD version with no problems so far apart from not having the HTC Mail app installed.

As you know the HTC Mail app is quite tightly integrated into widgets and contacts, is there anyway to add it?

I've wiped and reinstalled the rom and it's the same.

Hey guys I'm getting setup to root my buddies Evo shift. I Dloaded android sdk followed the instruction. I've opened cmd.exe when I type in a command it says it says 'adb ' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable command or batch file.

I'm trying it out on my Evo first just to get familiar with the system any direction is greatly appreciated
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
What version of windows are you on? You followed all of the instructions on setting up adb from that thread in the Shift forums? I also rooted my roomate's Shift, and I read that adb setup tutorial when I was over there. It was pretty solid. I already had adb set up, but read it through to see. When I set up adb, I had someone advise to me to place the adb.exe, and that .dll file (found in platform tools, in the SDK download) in my 'system32' folder of my PC. Once I placed those two files in the 'system32' folder, adb has worked flawlessly.

Also, have you made sure you have all the correct drivers installed? I believe I also had to install HTC Sync, because that installed some drivers that were necessary. Once it installed, I uninstalled it (the drivers will remain installed) because it can interfere with adb communication, apparently. Hope you get it set up. Once you do, rooting the Shift wasn't hard. Just follow the instructions to the t, and just copy and paste the commands, to eliminate the possibility of messing up the commands.

You're welcome, feel free to PM me if you have any more issues.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muellersirch:
to get adb to work, you need to be in the same directory as all of the sdk tools to use my setup as an example, my stuff is located in

C:\SDK\platform-tools

when I open the cmd prompt, it starts in

C:\Documents and Settings\Chris>

to change directories, type

C:\Documents and Settings\Chris>cd \

the display will change to

C:\>

type (in my example, yours may vary unless you set your folders up the same way)

C:\>cd SDK\platform-tools

it will change to

C:\SDK\platform-tools>

then you will be able to use adb commands like push/pull, shell, devices, etc.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
By putting the adb.exe and the .dll files in the 'system32' folder, that will allow you to execute adb commands from any directory in the command prompt. I don't have to navigate to my sdk tools to use adb. It saves a few steps, so you can just open up your command prompt and command away.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsupersonic:
Or you can put the directory that contains adb in your system PATH. This will let you execute adb in a command prompt anywhere...

[Atrix 4G Android Development] Ririal:
I don't really see any reason why it wouldn't. You might get the default AT&T apps loaded (which can just be easily removed through the app management in settings), but I find it hard to believe the apps are that much different. I would probably hold off on it, though. If you want to get me a /system dump from a stock Bell Atrix (there might be one already I haven't really looked), I can deodex it and make a new package for it.

Yes it does, but afaik Gingerblur is optimized for 1.2.6, this is for the leaked 1.5.2 SBF. There were more than a few apps that were updated and are much smoother than the 1.4.6 apps (camera for one), so it's a nice option to have. Also, as darkamikaze mentioned, some people don't want the gingerbread theme stuff.
