yeah, but u would think they wouldnt care, because if i'm tethering and doing all this stuff, i'll easily go over my 200 MB and have to pay them even more than the tethering plan...right? i don't know how much it is actually on top of everything else, but i figure overages would cost more.
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
No, they just don't want to be providing internet services for your PC for what you pay for on your cellphone.
[General Topics] Step666:
Not if it allows them to sell you two data bundles.

You'll end up with some people paying for a phone data bundle and a tethering bundle despite the fact their total usage doesn't exceed the individual allowance of either one.

As you say, the other way some people may run up some overage charges but if they were remotely sensible they'd just switch to a larger bundle and AT&T would make less money than they do this way.

Then there's the entirely separate issue of network congestion.

Tethering tends to be more network-intensive as opposed to pure mobile data usage and that's a serious concern for all the networks just now.

Speed aside, one of the things 4G will address is the backhaul necessary to allow more people to use more data but in the mean time, networks are just trying to keep things together.

That's the only thing about the US mobile phone industry that I envy - the fact that 4G is happening now as opposed to 18+ months away here in the UK.

Firstly, there's already a thread on this subject here.

It would've been on the first page of this section when you started this thread - if you'd looked before posting, you would've seen it.

Secondly, what you think doesn't matter.

If you sign up to a certain service you have agreed to the terms and conditions that the service provider chooses to impose. Complaining when they then enforce those conditions is frankly ridiculous, not to mention rather infantile.

If you weren't happy with the conditions, you didn't have to sign up with the provider in the first place and you can always move to a different provider after your contract ends.

Wow...Today has such bad news...

Today...of course everybody should know that at&t bought tmobile usa! But one of the worst things I figured out was that the Motorola Cliq already has a stable android 2.3 rom...YES THE CLIQ!!!!!!! The outdated piece of crap cliq has a STABLE 2.3 rom, yes I've tried it, and yes it lags but its STABLE!! Not trying to hate on the developers (which do one hell of a job) but I think that the Vibrant forums should try to get along and we might actually get more work done...this forum worries me now :confused: too many flamers...Well other than that great job to the dev's here...

[General Topics] greenstuffs:
That is pretty bad for everyone.
[General Topics] xriderx66:
if it lags, then i wouldn't consider it "stable"

Anyways, i don't really mind, we're really close to GB as well.

I mean look at CM7, and Whitehawkx's GB...

Whitehawkx's only needs a GPS working and a few minor bugs that give the double rainbow and thats it.

CM7 has a few issues itself, and is probably being fixed.

When they get released it'll be great.

Don't get jealous of the cliq.

If you do, just think "my phone is better than the cliq"

because infact, it is.
[General Topics] gasolara2002:
Well I'm with AT&T and I see it as a good thing for t-mobile customers who are in their contracts and don't plan to change plans anytime soon. I also see it as a good thing for existing AT&T customers also. If AT&T is smart they need to implement some things T-Mobile was doing such as the UMA calling features, bringing back unlimited data plans, letting the customers have fun with their phones instead of spending cash to lock them down (AT&T seems to waste money doing this) and finally bringing good customer service over. T-Mobile has the best and most knowledgeable customer service (calling 611) I have ever seen. I hate that I had to switch to AT&T but I had no choice. All i have to say is great business deal and I hope to see some greatness from this.

That's on a newly signed contract. T-Mobile is selling their whole company to ATT, contracts and all. Totally different.

EDIT - I called T-Mobile to let them know how much this upsets me. They transferred me to a supervisor who was super cool about it.

I would encourage all of you to contact them and share your feelings in a FRIENDLY way. Hopefully they take us into consideration.

When this merger is complete I'll start shopping for a new carrier.

If the contract requires new phones, or changes ANYTHING about your current contract, that contract becomes null and void, and you may exit without penalty.

We just changed Carriers from AT&T to T-Mobile for my wife and family (I get a phone from work).

To me this sucks because we hated AT&T and now were stuck right back with them!

It was so bad when we left AT&T because after we canceled they continued to take monthly payments and took 4 months to get our money back to us.
[General Topics] jaszek:

I dunno why but i find this news soooo funny, everyone on T-Mo is upset about this merger from what i've read and I can understand it if ur not a particular fan of ATT.P eople are saying they will be switching carriers, my question is aside from verizon sprint/nextel? who else would u be switching to LOL!!!! For business ppl who travel out of the country verizon and sprint arent really good options considering most of the world uses the GSM standard. ATT (#winning) just pwned the wireless market in the US with this news, but I will say this I'm not so sure this deal gets approved by the regulatory board, id be shocked if it does honestly. So even if it does go thru, everyone on T-Mo u have a yr b4 u guys should start to panic. =)
[General Topics] SiL3nTKiLL:
oh god..not good news :/
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
I just wonder... very few phones are enabled for penta-band so how are those of us who have T-mobile phones expected to swap over without getting rid of our phones. I for one have the Dell Venue Pro and since that's not marketed via carrier it's not like ATT is going to send me a new one that's enabled for ATT 3g

Hello,

I'm in posession of a Samsung SGH-i900 (Jea, the fisrt one). And i was wondering if there is a good working android version in english for this phone. I have found some hlaf products, and a russian one.

Anyone got an idea,

Thanks in forward,

Kind regards,

Wrong forum, mate. Maybe you can try your luck posting under i900 section.
[Omnia II General] NeoS:
You mean the original Samsung Omnia? We don't have a forum for that device...
[Omnia II General] Klaucke:
I noticed that. :)

So this means that nobody has an idea here about android on this type of phone. Bummer.

Well thanks anyway. I thought i might got lucky here becouse it is a smartphone.

Thanks,

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loaderbull:
Hi all,

I am new to all of this so forgive any ignorance or me being seemingly stupid!

I bought an unlocked T-Mobile G2 (HTC Desire Z) off ebay. I would like to put a stock ROM on it from HTC, however i cannot use HTC Sync, it refuses to recognise my phone. Only as a Mass Storage Device. I've tried the generic drivers suggested somewhere else, it just does not work.

What would be my steps to get it to an UNBRANDED Htc Desire Z, as in the lastest ROM from Htc? I'm not familiar with rooting etc, so it would need to be a beginners guide, apologies. Links would be good etc, basically anything to help me out at all! Plus it is all English (united states), so phone numbers are in US format, where i want UK. Not a big deal but when you are used to 07000123456, and you suddenly see 070-001-23456 it just isn't right, for me obviously.

Anyway i hope i've explained what i'd like to do. Any help with this is very much appreciated.

Regards.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hispeedworm:
you need to do 2 things... first find out whether your phone is T Mobile G2 or htc desire Z......

T Mobile G2 has T mobile branding on the front glass panel and it says G2 on back battery cover....

Desire Z has no Branding on Front Glass panel and its battery Cover says HTC not G2....

both sets have different stock roms and putting one rom on other can potentially brick your phone.....

and after you conclude whether its a desire Z or G2 find out whether its rooted or not and if its S-off or does it have Eng-Hboot.....

if you want totally factory software you need to undo all those... that is getting Stock hboot if you have Eng-hboot.....

go Back to S-on if your S-off

and unroot if your rooted....

only than you can apply the factory stock rom and use the wireless updates ......

for all this i suggest you read the wiki carefully..... here is the link

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision

there is no substitute for carefully reading and understanding the Wiki.... it gives all essential steps to root and how to unroot..... to s-Off and how to get back to S-on.... and finally to install Eng-hboot and to get back Stock hboot.....

read it.... prefreably more than once ... than decide your course of action... than if your confident do it... otherwise discuss your case in detail over here in Q & A section.... some senior member would help you out in either saying yup all steps look good go ahead... or say no your doing it woring do it this way... :)

hope it helps
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loaderbull:
Hi and thanks for the reply.

Yes it is a T-Mobile G2, it has the logo on the glass and on the battery plate. I shall do some reading. it does look as though it has original hboot, as i found when holding power & vol down button.

Regards.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hispeedworm:
than check if you have custom recovery and root... if so than unroot following steps of wiki :)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcxa23:
harlo.. well, fat32 are universal because all android phone can read it. usually the main part for the sdcard is fat32, as far as i know. so i suggest you to use fat32 instead of ntfs

correct me if im wrong

Yip, I took the looong route!! Had to re-format with FAT32.. to add to my frustration, 2 out of the 3 laptops we have at home could not read the SD Card when formatted NTFS! Finally got it sorted on a Vista machine.. lol at least Vista's good for something :cool:

So, all sorted. Thanks for the love :)

[Galaxy Tab General] brilldoctor:
Judging by the amount of ATT rants I have seen I feel sorry for you guys. It won't be long before ATT start offloading their network onto tmobiles and updateing android devices to prevent sideloading (unless they do what t mobile and Orange UK did which was a 2g crossover)

Wait doesn't their 3g work on different bands
[Galaxy Tab General] adinis78:
Just great, not a happy camper at all. Hopefully when its all said and done i will no longer be living in the US. It is a shame that a company will force you to take one of their plans when you dont want to and there is nothing anyone can do about that,why would i want to pay more and get less and sign another contract that i dont want to?

Dont want to go back to sprint and verizon will be hard to get into with their credit check and i dont want to loose my SIM phones.

[Galaxy Tab General] deniro0311:
****, first Cingular and now Tmo. I am cursed. I am also just out of contract and on a sweet unlimited plan that is pretty cheap. I finally had what I wanted.

I guess the least they could do is give me back the rollover minutes I lost when I switched and the money I had to pay to get out of the contract. I mean, that was all a result of me wanting to switch, and I accepted it. Now I have to go back to AT&T? I guess if they say "**** you" to my request (which the will), it is off to Sprint maybe.
[Galaxy Tab General] dubie76:
Yeah. I'm not happy either. I just hope this was a monetary move and they leave the networks untouched. If they start screwing with **** I'm gone. ETF and all. I was very happy with t mobile. I hate ATT, and always have.
[Galaxy Tab General] deniro0311:
I saw an interesting post in another forum. The poster claims the reason why anti-trust laws will be overlooked is so ATT can build the 4g network up. Basically, they do all the grunt work getting the 4g standard set nationwide, and then the gov't steps in and chops them up. ATT knows this, but they also know they will make large profits during this time.

The poster did a much better job explaining, and his version made some sense. Either way, I like Tmo. I don't want to change to ATT again.

[Galaxy Tab General] shEEEsh:
As for customer service .. TMobiles reps will probably be AT&T employees. In the beginning the c/s will be ok, at least until they realise they don't have to be nice and/or helpful to keep their job.
[Galaxy Tab General] swordsaint_ss:
what i'm more concerned about is this. what will happen to my galaxy tab that runs on TMo's AWS bands after the merger? from the material they released today it seems that there going to phase out tmo 3g on AWS to implement LTE on that spectrum. does that mean if i have my tab for two years, i'll have edge only(no 800/1900 AT&T 3G Band) on the new network for a year?
