Well I'm against also. It just makes one big uncaring monopoly for GSM users. In my area in Michigan T-mobile had HSPA almost 2 years ago, AT&T promised it for three years and finally rolled it out on April 1st this year. In rural areas coverage is about equal and they still have yet to upgrade beyond GPRS. So it's still a big thing to debate. Realistically only the top 5% of the most populated areas of the US are covered my mobile broadband.

At&T's recent acquisition of Centennial Wireless shows what they are up to, No Good!!! They have mediocre roll-out of mobile data upgrades and crappier prices. Even Sprint upgraded their networks to EVDO rev. A in 2008. I'm still waiting for AT&T's EDGE roll-out.

The only one that benefits from such a merger are the shareholders and the CEO's who will receive millions in compensation while the consumers will get less options, and higher prices.

I see things everyday about Iphones in NYC that are well below edge speed on AT&T's supposedly high speed 3g network and who really wants to pay $80-100 per month for the convenience of 2GB of data per month on the unlimited talk plan $70 voice+$25 for data.

Want to see something funny....

DataConnect 3G plans for 3G Laptop, 3G Laptop Connect Cards and 3G / 4G Mobile Hotspots

Data	Monthly Cost	AT&T Wi-Fi Access	Domestic Overage Fees

DataConnect 3GB HotSpot	$35.00	$10.00 per 1 GB

DataConnect 5 GB	$60.00	$0.05 per 1 MB

So the cheaper 3GB plan overages are $10/GB yet the more expensive 5GB plan it is $50/GB. How do they figure?

Enough ranting about price but seriously we need more competition not less.

I'm against the merger with "iphonie at&t"!
[Networking] Lavell7298:
Well said! I've couldn't agree more! This is AT&T attempt to take over the country. Like you said, only the high executives are benefiting from this merger while the consumers will suffer from it. Consumers will shed more money out of their pockets, only to end up putting more money in these high executives' pockets to satisfy their greed. In my book, this is a crime! Taking from the poor to get more richer!! What a damn shame!!!

[Networking] Trv06kviper:
Completely against this, considering what few GSM carriers we have here in the states. As far as a merger ever benefiting the consumers, this is At&t we're talking about here, the only reason their doing this is to remove a thorn in their side. It removes your options and forces you to eat price hikes because they know you have no choices. At&t also tiers their data, nerfs Android phones along with a slew of other things (regarding landline). T-Mobile should hope it fails take their 6 Billion and give At&t and Verizon a real run for their money. That would benefit consumers more.

I would like to root my wifi 3.1 to get titanium backup, busybox, sd card, and maybe external hard drives. However, I do not want to lose the ability to download google movies, lose one or both of the cameras, and still not be able to flash custom roms until source code is released.

Is there any compelling reason to root other than what I have mentioned?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chelseablue:
Well the Google movies are a con but there are software for ripping movies to be played on your xoom. Other than voiding your warranty and having to manually push your own updates when the become available (which isn't that big of a deal imo) the pros outweigh the cons. Overclock and underclock, using different themes, programs to backup your xoom and flash said updates. Many would agree no reason to not root.

You do risk turning your xoom into a fancy expensive paperweight but that's reasonably hard to do.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TJEvans:
how did you flash to Honeycomb? Did you switch to 1.2 bootloader, or did you NVFlash it? Are you aware that CWM .8 is not compatible with 1.2 bootloader?

I apologize for seemingly dumb questions, but it seems that there is very little information about the 1.2 bootloader here on XDA. People's curiosity with BOS is getting them in trouble, when they don't realize the nuances of 1.2 bootlaoder.

what do i do? i was flashing cm 7.03 and now its just stuck on the screen where the blue arrow goes around and around. what do i do? any help is appreciated.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdKeys:
Take out the battery. Put it back in and start your phone again. If the same happens repeat the battery pull but this time hold down on the volume bar and THEN press the power button to restart your phone. After it starts up in bootloader select recovery by moving the volume bar and then hit the power button again. This will bring you back to recovery where you can flash the rom again or restore your backup.

Also keep in mind that some roms can take up to 5 minutes to load the first time. Normally (but definetely NOT always) as long as it doesn't keep reloading the boot animation, everything is fine - the rom is building your file system on your first boot.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mputtr:
if you took the time to read about kernels and what they are you would know.

but, i'm in a good mood today:

Kernels govern your cpu speed and how to scale it. Some are locked to a certain frequency set and some are made adjustable, but you have to get an app that interacts with the kernel otherwise it runs at whatever it is preset to.

SetCPU is the one I used, but I know there are plenty out there that others would recommend and swear by in a heartbeat.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] happymfeet:
Thanks, which kernel do you have and would you recommend me getting it?

I'm using Virtuous rom 1.02 with the advanced kernel. I clocked mine at 475-1100mhz with a low battery profile switch at 275-887 (i think).

Check your rom specific kernel to make sure it runs best for your rom. The rest is personal preference.

Was your data working on a previous phone? If not I've had this happen to me but im on Fido (same network). what i found was some how they had disabled data on my account thus my 3g didnt work.

Give rogers a call and explain to them the situation and have them check into your account to see if the data is active. activate it if its not, this should fix the issue.

Fastboot mode will show ATT regardless if your on rogers, telus, bell, koodoo. the only one thats not ATT is wind which shows tmobile. Give that a go and let us know the result

if you have fastboot installed you can type "fastboot oem lock" in the command prompt and it'll lock the fastboot again at the same time factory restore everything.

but before you do that go into your phones test menu, go to your dialer and dial out *#*#4636#*#* and go to phone info, once your there go down and you'll see a section with the title set prefered network types. see if the drag down menu is set at GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)

This idea sounds dumb, I know, but are you really REALLY sure that your Nexus S is the right model for Rogers? A T-Mobile Nexus S with AWS will do EDGE and not 3G on Rogers. Just to eliminate the possibility, if you know anyone on Wind or Mobilicity, put their SIM in your phone and see if it gets 3G on their network. A friendly Mobi or Wind dealer may be willing to help you out. If it gets 3G on Mobi or Wind, I'm afraid you got the wrong Nexus S after all. It's possible that the first owner was only getting EDGE on AT&T, or -- well, that he lied to you.
