[General Questions and Answers] xs11e:
I have a MyTouch 4G on T-Mobile. In a year or less the AT&T buyout of T-Mobile may happen and.... I have to decide what's next for me.

1. I'm happy with the MyTouch and my T-Mo plan but I have no contract and therefore no protection at all against whatever changes may result from the buyout.

2. Physical or on-screen keyboard is fine, no preference.

3. I need VERY little voice time, less than 100 minutes a month for the last 10 years so the 200 minute senior plans from AT&T or VZW are fine for me.

4. I need LOTS of data so price is a consideration.

5. I MUST have UMA or WiFi calling to cover all the places I need my phone but I think that's impossible, I doubt AT&T will add that and I know VZW won't.

6. The choice is between VZW and AT&T, don't want to go into reasons for that. I have a lot of very bad experiences with AT&T and a lot of good experience with VZW, offsetting that is that my current phone(s) are GSM.

So.... should I try to live with AT&T or get a new phone and go with VZW? Price will be exactly the same either way but I'll need to sell some phones and get a new one (eBay or Craig's List, no contract!)

And, if the recommendation is VZW what CDMA phone is close to the MyTouch 4G in performance and features?

Any suggestions much appreciated, thanks!

I'm not really sure what verizon phone is the closest to what you have right now, but they do have a few good smartphone options. I will say that if you're planning on switching, you should do so before the 7th because there will be no more unlimited data on new plans after that.
[General Questions and Answers] the noan:
I've been on sprint for awhile now mainly because the pricing. The evo 4g is comparable to the mytouch 4g. The evo 3d just came out for sprint recently which is a beast of a phone but I'm not upgrading just yet. Explore all your options and visit androidcentral, they have many reviews of android phones from all carriers. I'd suggest looking over there to get some more input

Sent from Erik Estrada
[General Questions and Answers] r3awak3n:
the merger has not happened yet and it will be at least 8 months till it goes down and then prob at least half a year till everything gets switched. People are worried but it takes time to get thing swiched over. You might even get a cheap trade off phone when that happens. There is nothing cheaper than TMO and you seem to be happy with it. Why not just stick with it till the merger happens.

Pick up a Sensation or a G2X and stay on Tmo as long as you can.

But if you really want to switch then I would pick verizon (unfortunetely there are not phones on vzn that I really care for right now but you cant go wrong with the network availability and speed but super high prices).

As mentioned you should consider sprint, closest to tmobile in prices and decent network with 1 nice phone which is the evo 3D.

gluck.
[General Questions and Answers] xs11e:
Thanks for the answers!

First, I have no contract nor will I, I'll stick with T-Mo as long as possible but it's never too soon to start searching Craig's List or Ebay for a phone if I do go to VZW. Question is, if I port my number now, will I still have unlimited data next month or the month after on a month to month deal?

Pricing, Sprint is the most expensive option by far, both VZW and AT&T offer senior plans which I had when I was with VZW before, Sprint has nothing similar. BTW, T-Mo only saves me $5/mo over VZW. I get more minutes I can't use/don't want with T-Mo but who cares? :)

Coverage: I switched to T-Mo because they had coverage where I need it, VZW doesn't (I know, that's the reverse of most people's experience!) but w/o UMA/WiFi calling I'll be back to no coverage in most places where I need it regardless of who I chose. :(

(T-Mo used to offer an unlimited data only plan with per minute voice, that was the best for me but it's no longer available.)
[General Questions and Answers] TheIceCreamMan:
technology moves pretty fast these days.. i would ride out your t mobile plan until the merger gets closer then look into plans and phones. As one person stated verizon is dumping unlimited plans after the 7th so maybe thats a deciding factor for you.
[General Questions and Answers] jozef710i:
Thanks :-)
[General Questions and Answers] xs11e:
I agree but I'm usually happy with a phone that's a little behind the curve.

I looked at plans and phones today, VZW still has the Old Fart's plan for $30/mo so that's fine, the data is a worry. I can get the unlimited plan today but w/o a contract will I get to keep it next month?

With the 65 Plus plan for $30 and the data plan for $30 I'd be paying only $5/mo more than T-Mobile but with no UMA/WiFi calling which is a major problem and the reason I'm staying with T-Mo as long as possible!

The change from unlimited data is a good reason to switch today but with no guarantee that I can keep the unlimited plan I'm scared to change!
[General Questions and Answers] k_nivesout:
I don't know how unlimited data works without a contract, you'd have to ask Verizon. As for wifi calling, why not just use Google voice?
[General Questions and Answers] xs11e:
On a scale of 1 to 10 I rate UMA as a 10, WiFi Calling as about a 6, Google Voice as a 0. It's just not an acceptable alternative but it is an alternative I suppose...
[General Questions and Answers] arunprakashl:
I would suggest not to try AT&T - pretty poor network .. Also, they dont seem to have an unlimited data plan.
[General Questions and Answers] xs11e:
I agree with that but I suspect that AT&T will remain T-Mobile for some time after the buyout, as in honoring my current plan and maybe continuing to offer UMA/WiFi calling. I expect everything will continue unchanged for some weeks, maybe months? I'll switch when I have to unless something unexpected happens.

I'm able to switch any time, I have an old VZW BB, an 8330, so I can port my number over right now if I need to....

I have a month to month deal with Verizon. Coverage is good here in Western PA, much better than AT&T. Very happy to still have unlimited data!

I have had sprint for a short time, but it has been really good.
[General Questions and Answers] xs11e:
Unlimited data seems to be as extinct as dinosaurs, those who have it will be allowed to keep it (for who knows how long?) but new customers can't get it.

I have an unlimited plan with T-Mo but I'm sure that'll be going away, the question is how long will it last after the buyout? I'm guessing I'm OK for at least a month but then????

For most customers, the lowest limit offered by most companies is more than adequate.
[General Questions and Answers] biglittlegato:
With AT&T for awhile now. Not too impressed with coverage or service. I wouldn't recommend them at this point. Would have stayed T-mobile but their coverage was worse where I need to go. If T-mobile works for you, why change. When AT&T merged with Cingular, it didn't affect customer of either company until they signed up for new contracts, which sounds like it won't be you.

I don't know if it is a precursor to what's coming but a new T-mobile device from Huawei is being tested by the FCC with T-mobile and AT&T HSPA+ bands. Max speed @ 42mbps. Engadget has a small article on it.

So we all know that SAMOLED screens use the least power when on a black screen. I have heard that depending on the LCD the power consumption can change based on the color being shown.

In short, if we wanted to prolong battery life while the screen was on, would it be best to display white background, black background, etc?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joe333x:
I just want to let people know what an awesome app FPse is. If you dont know what it is its a PlayStation 1 emulator. I had tried it out on my previous phone the MyTouch Slide but wasnt very happy with the performance. Using it with my G2x though is like holding a little Playstation in my hand. So far I have beaten Resident Evil Nemesis on it and I'm working on Metal Gear Solid and Road Rash 3D, both of which run beautifully on the G2x. No need for Tegra Zone games on here, I'd rather play full length PS1 games!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Carloswithac:
Is it comparable to PSXdroid?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] PhantomRampage:
It might be better, but for the average user I think the "free" price tag of psxdroid sounds better
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hazard99:
The price tag of free Is always good. Its always nice to support our app makers. It keeps them coming back to the android platform.

I tried both and fpse was way more polished. psx4droid only became free when It was pulled from the market.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] erikiksaz:
I paid for psxdroid back when I owned an n1 and only received "updates" that worsened performance each time. Fsck psxdroid, I'm glad the dev got hosed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joe333x:
The BIOS file is completely separate from ROM files. The same BIOS file is needed for all PS1 ROM files. I'm sure theres a rule against posting links to files like that so just google "scph1001.bin" and you shouldnt have a problem finding it.

you can use your hdmi cable and play it on your hdtv! its like having a portable snes genesis n64 and playstation wherever you go! needless to say its pretty awesome

Does FPse support bluetooth gamepads? I see no mention of it in the market add I know the stock LG rom doesnt but if the EMU does it would be great on a custom rom. I dont know that I would pay $5.12 (4.96 on app brain) and have to use the touch screen. the only free version is for windows phones

Yes it does support BT controlers, i havent used one personally though.

rom fetcher for playstation 1 get it in market it like 1.89 and has the games to download
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spoo76:
Lets go for the Hat trick..

1. RAR files are pretty much zip files. if your program cant extract them try winrar Ive used it without issue and its free

http://download.cnet.com/WinRAR-32-bit/3000-2250_4-10007677.html?tag=mncol;1

2.I picked up the Wii Datel retro wireless. its like the Classic Wii controller but with bluetooth built in so you dont need the nunchuck

I picked it up from amazon over seas but I may have grabbed the last as they are out of stock now.

http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Retro-Wireless-Controller-Nintendo/dp/B001ULJGDU

the only other place I have seen them FS is http://uk.codejunkies.com/Products/Wii-Wireless-Retro-Controller__EF000622.aspx

I would Email and ask if they are in stock, I dont think datel makes these anymore. you will need the Wiimote app and a CM7 rom as this doesnt work with the stock rom yet

3.Link to it on the web market? I didn't see any that price and all the ROM fetchers Ive seen do just that they fetch Roms. I haven't seen any for the PlayStation that include and emulator

https://market.android.com/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Hoezack:
This emulator is amazing. I have Mega man 8, x4, x5, x6, grand turismo 2, street fight collection and other roms running perfect on this emulator...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joe333x:
Like it was said earlier, winrar can is what you need for a rar file winrar can hand almost any type of zip file. Once you extract it just put the folder on your sd card and go into input setting on FPse and guide it to the overlay file in the folder.

Settings under input:

Go to hardware keys, hit enable under the first setting

As for the rest, make sure your sixaxis is on and synced (make sure to change your input method to sixaxis!), then just specify all the correct buttons.

The game should work with it at that point.
