Had a lady come into my workplace (where we sell ATT, Sprint and T-Mobile) and told me that her iPhone 3gs, that she had on T-Mobile prepaid, could not make phone calls. I told her to just take out the battery and put it back in. She didn't know how to do it and demanded that I do it for her. Since she didn't buy the phone from us, I didn't want to risk damaging the phone, and because I was busy with other ACTUAL customers, I told her that i was unable to do it. She then claimed that because I couldn't open an iPhone, my store must be "technologically behind" and that I was slow and wouldnt understand how to use something like an iPhone. Skipping the part where I embarrassed her by showing how my HTC inspire dominates, I am just pointing out how she is an average iPhone user.

Me: "do you have a smart phone?"

IPhone user: " pfft.. no. I have an iPhone."

Rage.

Yes. She was already giving me a hard time so I figured I'd give her an impossible task.

Also, when I told her that we WERE in fact technologically "ahead", I showed her the android phones (including mine).

She responded with "I have an android too, but it ain't no iPhone."

That's when she whipped out a Rumor Touch on Virgin Mobile. *Shoots self

i think most ppl have heard of it but anyways:

a (swedish?) study pointed out, that a lot of these apple-fanatics show the same symptoms as ppl diagnosed with the stockholm syndrome. they defend their iphone against any kind of criticism and are somewhat deaf for reasonable arguments like the iphone having no extendable storage, removeable battery, supports no flash and so on...

have to say that not only iphone users show these symptoms but also nearly any person being strongly fond of one of their posessions (car, hifi etc).

the iphone is a nice device but way too expensive and i rather stick with a phone i have more control over.

but i dig my ipod+itunes. works great.

An actual conversation that I had with an iPhone user:

iPhone user: What is that, an iPhone?

Me: No. It's an HD2.

iPhone user: Oh. My iPhone can probably do more than that thing.

Me: Oh really?

iP user: Yes.

Me: Can it turn into a WiFi hotspot?

iP: Yes. But I have to pay more for it.

[HD2 General] jvh22a:
i just want to let people know of some trouble i've had with an unlock company called Unlocode . I've used them twice. the first time everything worked perfect. the second time they couldn't get me a code. In the email they sent me stating that the they could not generate the code and that they would refund my money within 72 hours.

i bought the code on 3-20-11 and the same day i got a reply that the code could not be generated. it is now 4-18-11 and they never replied or tried to refund my money. i've sent 3 emails with no reply.

so i open a case on paypal 4-2-11 and on 4-9-11 they finally replied asking for my IEMI number. yet it is listed in the paypal transaction. i give it to them again thinking/hoping it will speed things up. i replied the same day about one and half hours later. from that day till 4-18-11 i didnt get any email or response from them.

so i esculate the claim and finally the start emailing me. They ask for my IEmi number yet again. they don't even bother to look it up or find any info on it in thier data base from last time they asked for it. they just respond with a threat.

so now these guys are threating me, that if i don't close the dispute on paypal they will lock my phone and say it was stolen.

-- Listen.we never have any problems with code.we can send a disble code to make that phone useless and locked again iif you don't close the paypal case. You have 48 hrs to close the case before that phone becomes useless and reported lost stolen. --

Is this legal and can they really do this?

they advertise 100% that they would get me the code yet in the email they sent me they couldn't supply it.

i just want people to know about this and hopfully help others chose a different unlocker.

if they would have refunded my money like they advertise i would not have any problems using them again. but with this much trouble ill just stay away from them and any other company associated with them

[HD2 General] Archer:
As far as I'm aware, only you or someone from some type of authority position (police etc.) can get the phone locked. My guess is that they're just saying they'll lock the phone so you don't take the money back.

If I were you, I'd email them back and tell them that you have been advised by your provider that it is not possible for them to have your phone locked. Then, tell them if they don't supply you with an unlock code in 24hrs you will escalate the dispute on PayPal further, and suggest that you'd rather not do this as it may give them a bad name.

If you're really worried, check with your provider 1st, but I'm 99% sure they can't get it locked just because they have the IMEI number.

Stick to your guns and don't let the bullies beat you.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
yea im with john on this one, they're trying to scare you off. If they DID somehow lock your phone, they would be commiting an offence, unlawfull access of an electronic device, or some such, tantamount to hacking.

Be sure and keep a record of all and every thing you send and recieve to/from them.

(Id be tempted to still make a complaint once they have refunded you.)
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
I started to post here lastnight but I was to sleepy and had to get some sleep. AnywaycI am with John and Sam here. The only ones that can lock hour IMEI number andcreport it stolen is someonecwith law enforcement or your provider. Even then you have to contact them to have this done. If they do manage to lock your IMEI number and report your phone as stolen they have commuted a felony and can be prosicuted for such.

If I was you I would contact my carrier and make them aware of the threat they have made so if they follow through on the threat you can have them prosicited cause your carrier will have proffered you did not request this action.

I am like Sam I would continue to persistent this even if I got my money back. Also like John said contact those dirty crocks and tell them you know it is unlawful for them to take such an action against you. And that you have talked to your carrier about it so you have documentation. Then tell them that if that take such action you will have them prosicuted for there actions.

Post back here with any updates.

Here are a few icons I made to compliment the blue icon theme (honeycomb) Kennethpenn included with GreyBlur.

-Dialer*

-Gallery

-Gmail

-Market*

-Browser*

-Calculator

-MMS

-Dialer/contact phone icons (only available in CWM. see screenshot below)

* These icons already come in a color of blue with greyblur. I have slightly modified them so that all of the listed icons all have a uniform color of blue.

You can utilize the icons contained in the attached zip by using any launcher replacement that allows for changing app icons.

Don't want/like to use third party launcher? Alternatively, you can use Tenfar's CWM to flash the zip linked below in a more permanent manner that does not require a third party launcher app.

Download greymod.zip for CWM

disclaimer: I do not guarantee the the linked zip will not brick your phone or create any other unwanted issues. I have only tested it one time on my own phone. I am not a developer of any kind. Use at your own risk. This is not to detract from kennethpenn's greyblur or insinuate that this icon set is superior. greyblur is awesome. It is only my personal preference to use and enjoy these modifictions and I'm simply making them available to anyone who may be interested

changes:

4/26: Added blue smiley MMS icon to attached zip

4/25: Made CWM available

[myTouch 4G General] Paul22000:
Did anyone else switch to this (non-contract EM+)?

I switched and it took effect on yesterday's billing cycle. And now the data connection doesn't work. Opening the browser redirects everything to web2go.com. I've tried calling T-Mobile and they can't figure it out. And the last person I was talking to literally put me on hold and then LITERALLY left. And now since it's after hours, there's no more customer service. What a !@#! *#$%*.

Has anyone else switched to the promo that they had a few days ago?
[myTouch 4G General] kalel33:
There's a guy on T-mobile's forums that has the same issue and no resolution. Maybe that's the reason they pulled it so quick.
[myTouch 4G General] PuffDaddy_d:
Sucks that they pulled it. I ran to the store as soon as I could to take advantage of it, but T-mobile employees didn't even know it existed by the 16th. :-(

Simple Mobile is Wal-mart. They use the T-mobile towers for their service.
[myTouch 4G General] Paul22000:
Do they have access to ALL of T-Mobiles towers? Meaning Simple Mobile coverage is 100% = to T-Mobile's?

Or only in certain parts of the country?

[myTouch 4G General] criptix:
60 flat I've been on them for 4 months tho they do throttle after 2gbs
[myTouch 4G General] masterjack98:
Yeah they definitely throttle your account at 2gigs. I just wish these phone conpanies would be honest and just state what they offering at what price. Good thing about simple mobile is that ive got no contract with them so i can get rid of their lieing asses when i want.
[myTouch 4G General] zmodp:
Im a DM with T-Mobile in Minneapolis, so let me clear this up. Trust me, a lot of people are confused by this, including employees.

Simple Mobile (or Family Mobile) is a service sold by WalMart. They use Tmo towers and Tmo handsets. They have their own SIM that works in Tmo handsets without the need for unlocking.

They offer $60 unlimited everything with 2GB throttle cap. Data has access to HSPA+ and gets the same speedtest results.

It is considered a MVNO and is added in to Tmo's numbers when reporting total subscribers, but the phone number will NOT show up in any internal Tmo systems (CAM or bill pay.) Because of this, your bill can not be paid at a Tmo store.

In regards to plans, Tmo has their 79.99 TrulyUnlimited contract plan with 2GB throttle cap and had planned to release an EM+ nocontract version at the 59.99 rate. At the last minute, they pulled this plan and decided against it.

They made this decision on the 10th or 11th, so a lot of CS reps may have been confused. If you changed your EM+ plan to the 59.99 rate in anticipation of this, your data would have been disconnected on the 11th as this plan doesnt exist!

They did, however, decide to offer the 5GB throttle on the contract plan for an additional $10 making it total $89.99.

I know it sucks a little and I'm not defending the decision or anything. I will say this though - Tmo is becoming a little better at listening to customers needs and is more responsive than in the past. You can still get $79.99 with 5GB throttle on EM+ and maybe this too will change in the near future.
[myTouch 4G General] Paul22000:
Yep, we took the phone to a T-Mobile store and after the rep getting tossed around for literally 2 hours on the phone with T-Mobile customer service, tech support, etc, the only solution was to switch back to the original plan.

The jerks on the phone were even unwilling to credit us ANYTHING for our wasted time and energy, extreme amounts of frustration, and the lost cost of the cheaper plan.

Jerks.

Again, anyone who has Simple Mobile, is there tax or is it a flat $60 monthly bill?
[myTouch 4G General] Gregory.u317:
Not true I have the 59.99 plan got grandfathered in only issue is the 22% tax.. everythings still working... Florida
[myTouch 4G General] chrism154:
i have simple mobile

i have simple mobile its 60 flat no tax or anything. everywhere tmobile has signal and 4g so does simple mobile. only thing that sucks is after you use 2gb they slow down your connection to dial up speed
[myTouch 4G General] Gregory.u317:
yes i did.. got grandfathered in since i knew about the plan...

[myTouch 4G General] Pinkk:

[myTouch 4G General] pinguo777:
it doesn't work because that promo plan doesn't exist. They planned to launch it with their truely unlimited even more plan (2year contract) 79.99 but they decided to pull it at the very last minute and only launch the 79.99 contracted plan. If you are on that plan and the internet doesn't work... that's probably why.
[myTouch 4G General] masterjack98:
My girl sends me pics all the time he he he. I gladly recieve them no problems
[myTouch 4G General] masterjack98:
Just to clarify for those who like me cringe at the idea of doing business with Walmart. Simple Mobile is NOT part of Walmart. It is a privately held company out of California.

If you still have questions after all of this JUST GO TO THEIR WEBSITE.
[myTouch 4G General] brianaz25:
Just an FYI - I had issues when I got the plan and I specifically asked what they had me provisioned for... turns out it was provisioned to web2go feature phone not the smartphone 4g web feature... it works as expected... if you still have an issue i'd call back and ask customer care to make sure you are provisioned right...
[myTouch 4G General] ekmenet:
Have been using Simple Mobile for the last 5 months. It’s just like using T-Mobile anywhere in the US, since it’s running in T-Mob’s network. $60 flat, no tax. T-Mob, won’t be able to beat this, due to all extra fees and taxes, even if they come out with a $59.99 everything plan. Got the SIM card from eBay for $1.99 incl. S&H. Initially was just for testing to see how well it worked, and I just kept it, and use it in my N1. I still carry my HTC Glacier with T-Mob plan. Two good things: a) Unlimited SMS/MMS to any International Mobile, which I use a lot. T-Mob will always charge for these. B) Unlimited Mobile to Mobile with your T-Mob plan works with the Simple Mobile numbers as if they are T-Mob. More than the 2GB cap, for me the only drawback that makes me keep my T-Mob plan, is the Intl. Roaming. Haven’t tested if WiFi calling would work with a Simple Mob. Number.
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
I thought Simple Mobile plans had a 2gb cap?
[myTouch 4G General] ekmenet:
I've never experienced the 2Gb cap, but I did when I first tried Simple Mob with the $50 / 100 Mb plan. At 125 Mb I was completely disconnected, not even throttled. Had to add $10 for extra 100 Mb, until I could jump into a $60 plan after 30 days. Can't change plans until the end of a full month period.

Just like Dual boot for WP7 and Android on HD2 with MGRLDR, is it possible to create a WM6.5 build which is compatible with MGRLDR? Really tired of booting Android after the WM is up:(.

I didn't raise this question in Android forum because I think it should be WM related.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Macgnolia:
Well the DFT said a good while back that they were working on a Windows Mobile 6.5 SD card build. But no new news as of late on the state of this project, and I doubt that we will know until the day they release it.

But as of right now there is no SD card build that you can boot with MAGLDR like you can with Android while running WP7.

Also thanks for not posting in the Android florins but this should have been posted in either the HD2 General forum or the HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&Sand General forum as this as this is a development forum. ;)

I saw your other thread concerning this, and I am sorry to tell you bit as of right now there is no way to boot Windows Mobile 6.5 except from NAND. Like I said in my first post in this thread. Until the DFT releases more information on their Windows Mobile SD card build, or release their Windows Mobile SD card build. We can only wait, maybe one day you will be whale to boot Win Mo with MAGLDR. But as for right now it is not possible.

Also CWM is strickly for Android as it is a Lenuix based program. It would be great if someone would come up with a similar program for Win Mo. But seeing as Win Mo has been out for so long and no one has come up with such a program (unless you count Microsoft My Phone or SPB Mobile Backup) and now Win Mo as much as I hate to say it is a swing OS. I doubt we will ever see such a program for Win Mo.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NeoA:
Recovery image's are tied closely to a certain platform/model/phone - for instance, the

has been compiled specifically for your phone. Easiest would be to go via the Rom
