The quality of Sprint's network does not necessarily correlate to their unilimited data offerings. It's an older network that uses outdated radio technology, and that probably contributes to their problems more than anything. A company that for a long time was losing customers in droves and has since only been able to maintain numbers is not likely to be over oversubscribed. Nothing is "proved" in your assertion, only assumed.

You're right that unlimited data is a marketing point, and the only one that Sprint has to offer. If Sprint got rid of it and started charging like the other carriers do, I am pretty certain that oversubscription would be the least of their concerns. I know I for one am not with Sprint because they have an amazing network; I am a customer because they save me money. The day that stops happening is the day I switch to another carrier with a better network. That's really what it all boils down to, and Hesse is saavy enough to realize that he doesn't have a whole lot else going for him.

You don't embark on a national advertising campaign touting your unlimited plans just to yank the carpet out from under yourself a short time later. This is Sprint's marketing campaign for the forseeable future, and I have seen nothing to dissuade me from that belief yet.
[General Topics] mattykinsx:
That article is not proof of anything.

:rolleyes:

If I posted this exact same link in "proof" of something you would troll the next 15 pages about how much spin and "proving of nothing" this link is.

Come on now.
[General Topics] Award Tour:
I don't know what you are trying to prove. Dan Hesse was quoted as saying that unlimited data is not promised forever. That's pretty much it. No spin just a quote from the man himself that its a possibility.
[General Topics] Kevin K:
Unlimited is the only thing Sprint has going good right now. Wimax is a joke. Most people are switching just for the unlimited.
[General Topics] mattykinsx:
Everything is a possibility and the quotes "nothing lasts forever" and "were constantly watching what we do every month" can be used to validate anything.

That's the point.

I would be scared of a company that didn't constantly re-evaluate it's options and policies.

I love how yet again a thread has been taken off topic.
[General Topics] MaxCarnage:
Our responses are based on conqu1stador's original assertion that Sprint was likely to move away from unlimited plans sooner rather than later along with the others. There's no evidence of that being the case, other than an obscure quote from Dan Hesse saying that "nothing lasts forever" and then qualifying that statement by saying that it's their best differentiator from the other carriers right now. How that is evidence that Sprint will be dropping its unlimited plans "sooner rather than later" I don't know.

I get that there's a "trend" among the carriers towards dropping unlimited plans, but let's analyze that for a second. We really only have four big carriers; AT&T and Verizon are primarily in competition with each other so they keep their plans competitive against themselves. If AT&T drops unlimited plans, Verizon is sure to follow suit as they both go for quick cash grabs while they build out their next gen networks.

T-Mobile and Sprint were each other's main competition, but with AT&T looking to buy T-Mobile and Deutsche Telekom wanting it to happen, T-Mobile is going to slowly start aligning itself with AT&T's existing plans and policies to make the merger more streamlined.

Where does this leave Sprint? A lone wolf against two major carriers with nothing to offer other than competitive pricing; do you really see them trying to align themselves with the other carrier's pricing when they can't compete on any other level? At least against T-Mobile they have relatively comparable network coverage (though with GSM and HSDPA+ you can argue that T-Mobile has a better quality network), but other than that what is Sprint going to be able to offer against AT&T and/or Verizon?

Until or unless Sprint decides to commit corporate suicide to make itself look ripe for a buyout by Verizon, Sprint will do whatever it can to maintain its competitive pricing, and that includes its unlimited plans. There's no other reason to stick with Sprint right now. One obscure quote taken out of context doesn't prove that Sprint is going away from unlimited plans, and nothing else I have seen indicates so.
[General Topics] mattykinsx:
Sticky please.
[General Topics] mmegalodon:
It didn't have anything to do with what Hesse said. Hesse said that a while ago anyways, and even before then you'd have to be high to think that it is going to last for 5 years. You're right, who knows how long it will last, and I hope it lasts longer than not. Do I think it will? That doesn't really matter. You're right. By the time the revision is done we could still be seeing Unlimited data. I know that's a big draw for them, and a good one. Along with it's competitive prices. I find it encouraging that they have as competitive plans as they do while offering unlimited data. And it wouldn't be 'carrier suicide' if they changed their stance in two years. There is this thing called business; they could alter their data plans in a fashion that still puts them at the top in terms of data allowance and plan pricing.

I love Sprint. I've been with Sprint for years. That hasn't changed. I didn't see Hesse's quote (which was a while ago) and go 'ZOMG, it's going to happen!' like a lot of people did in response to his comment. Of course a business is going to constantly be taking note of their current standings and future plans / goals / moves. When you first started hearing talk of the other carriers changing over to tiered data plans, it was only natural to assume / expect that Sprint will make the same move. Again, it had nothing to do with what Hesse did or did not say.

I'm honestly curious; how long do you expect Sprint to offer unlimited data?
[General Topics] MaxCarnage:
For as long as they have the network capacity to offer it (and I suspect that most of these carriers do have the network capacity to do so) and it remains

a) A big part of their marketing campaign

b) Until/unless they add another feature or service that at the very least catches them up with their competition

You're correct that Sprint could offer a tiered support structure that still costs less or provides a little more data than their competition, but that doesn't market as well. I don't really see what the advantages of that would be; if they're going to raise their prices to generate revenue, I think their best bet is to raise the prices of their unlimited plan as long as their network capacity can handle it.
[General Topics] mmegalodon:
Yeah, I wouldn't be opposed to paying more to ensure that the network gets better and stays better, and to ensure that their unlimited data plans remain. It is obviously a huge draw but then you get congestion and you have people complaining about speeds that don't allow them to fully utilize their unlimited plan. Believe me, I couldn't imagine having to deal with tiered plans and worry about overages or throttling after some hilariously short / low usage.

I really do hope Sprint keeps it up.
[General Topics] MaxCarnage:
You and me both; like I've said, I left AT&T to save money. Their network was superb (except at the black hole that is my house, of course) and I never had any issues with dropped calls or an inability to connect to data. With Sprint I have hit weird pockets where I have no signal in places that make no sense, like one of the most popular mall/entertainment areas in northern San Antonio.

But the price is just too damn good to switch, especially for what I get. If Sprint took that one feature away, I would split so fast my EVO wouldn't have time to hit the ground before I was signing back up with AT&T.
[General Topics] PwnCloud:
Sprint seems to be taking advantage of their true unlimited data. Just look at sprint.com.

Wouldn't this attract more customers?

So did you ignore the paragraphs of information and arguments I've made in favor of the idea that Sprint will not be moving to tiered plans anytime soon, or are you just going through and replying to posts at random?

Please I need Help

first I'm New on HTC

I bought HTC HD2

It's Has Android 2.2 But with too many bugs and hangging

I need to Upgrade but i dont know how , I'm Familiar with sonyericsson and now did'nt understand from this fourm

Please i need help by baby step and what is the best nand or sd card

please can any one help me?!?!?!?!

How did you manage to get Froyo running without knowing how to upgrade?...

Anw you can check out this HD2 toolkit thing

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1090783

that makes everything just as user friendly as it can get. To get your HD2 working on a new ROM, you need to:

1. Flash HSPL

2. Flash radio to 2.15.xxx, unless your radio is 2.15.xx already...

3. Install Magldr/cLK (You'll need some drivers from Android SDK to install cLK, so I suggest just go for Magldr)

4. Install Clockworkmod Recovery

5. Choose a ROM (XD XD)

6. Flash the ROM using CWM (every ROM is different, so follow instructions on the ROM page)

It's also advisable that you perform Task 29 (wipe) before installing a new ROM, to avoid any force close issues.

Btw, the HD2 rarely hangs, and if yours does so quite often you should be suspecting that the hardware is a bit screwy, and it's time for repairs...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pReXx:
I think you bought your HD2 with Android?

The HD2 has normally Windows Mobile 6.5.

If you wanna use WM6.5 AND Android (to switch between WM and Android), you should use an SD Build.

If you just wanna have Android as your main OS, you should use a NAND Build (recommended).

How to install NAND Builds is described in the Threads of the NAND build you wanna have.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] razielleonhart:
Ok i am new to Android i just traded my iPhone 3G for a HD2. I spent around 3 or 4 hours trying to get it running the way i like. After many errors i am on NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V2.9_NAND_(Android-2.3.5) and i am very happy. So now i need some help and yes i did look around before i am asking this. I read on a forum that i could install my apps onto my memory card and not into the phone is this true for the OS i am running now. And also i wanted to know if there is any apps i may need to make my phone run better even some cool apps i make need just to be happy/
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] likewei92:
hi razielleonhart, I believe you're referring the to the ext-sd function. To do that you'll have to repartition your SD card. You can do that in CMR (I believe you are booting form NAND?). Normally just choose a ext partition size and set the SWAP memory to 0 (I'm not sure what the SWAP is for, but I think it's to compensate your RAM if your RAM runs out of space, but that's unlikely on the HD2). When you boot back into Android you will notice that your "internal" memory has increased. Not all ROMs support this, and you'll have to check the thread on the particular ROM to see if the developer has cooked his ROM for that.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] likewei92:
And you might want to check out some cool (but sometimes slightly hazardous apps) like SD booster (sets a new cache size on your SD card to make it run faster, just search the market) or SetCPU (allows you to overclock/underclock your phone's CPU, see link at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505419).

Thanx joey. Thanx button hit. I thought it was gonna be as easy as putting the PG.zip on the SD card and run the bootloader and let it do its thing, I guess not LOL do u know also if theres a guide on how to make custom boot animations ?
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
well, on the EVO we were able to put the image inside a PC36IMG.zip and flash, to be honest, I think we could do the same on the EVO 3D. zip file is named differently and maybe the splash image is named differently, but I wouldn't be surprised if a similar approach worked. Only downside is I haven't seen anything on it, but it is worth a try. Worse case, the bootloader should read through the zip and not recognize anything worth flashing. i haven't heard any reports of the evo 3d/evo bootloader flashing a bad image and overwriting other things as i've seen happen on samsung phones.

In regards to making boot animations, there are lots of scatter guides on many forums for that. The boot animations do slightly differ between some devices, but the differing commands for how to process the boot animation should be contained in a .txt file inside the .zip, if I remember correctly.

off the top of my head, the differences between boot animations on devices would be resolution, how many frames to play per second and how long to play them for.

the best guide i could quickly find is for the samsung intercept, so resolution would probably be tweaked and perhaps frame rates also.

http://forum.sdx-developers.com/index.php?topic=9347.0

sorry i dont have a great link to making boot animations for the EVO 3D. if anybody does, it would be a great tool! if you decide to dive into it, writing up a great guide would be helpful for the community! hope that helps!

[Xoom Accessories] smith3jk:
So I'm thinking about doing a mod to the moto folio case and make the front cover detachable and reatachable. The material doesn't feel like it will unravel do I believe if I use a razor blade to cut it off and figure out a way to attach the other side of the lid. Hoping maybe this will make it a little better for the dock however I will probably lose the stand capability. Anyways I got the case for 20 and could probably get it again for that price. Any opinions? Has anyone tried this? Please let me know your thoughts.
[Xoom Accessories] rockhumper:
Why bother? Fold it underneath when on your lap and u dont notice it. The only time mine annoys me is when i have to charge it
[Xoom Accessories] rossvtaylor:
I don't know if it can unravel when cut, but that was a concern of mine as well. I added a 3/8-inch diameter hole over the charging port so that I can charge it with the cover closed. It works great. To prevent unraveling or fraying, I melted the hole (using an old nut driver heated over the stove).

I don't understand the desire to cut the flap off, but I won't question your goal. If you do cut it, you can heat seal the edge with a flame or hot blade.
[Xoom Accessories] smith3jk:
I just feel like the flap gets in the way but now that I think about it I will probably need the stand capability for school. I may just cut the hole like you said.
[Xoom Accessories] smith3jk:
So I did it. I really got tired of holding the case open. Now it fits in the dock better as well.
