i think what he means is that americans only see half the cost. when they see a full retail cost of a phone at $500 bones, and can pay 1/5th of that or even less they think they got a deal but when you see all the fees and extra bull**** they silently tack on to your bill, we dont care because the phone which is the cool thing to have does tons of fart apps and the bill dont matter anymore.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Actually, TMO will give you a cheaper rate if you own the outright. They have what they call Value + which has lower rates I think.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hukkguai:
If you have insurance on your phone they will only charge you 5 bucks and will overnight you a replacement. I also agree that the $20 charge is complete bs and I'm a Tmo employee lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] herzzreh:
Actually his post makes perfect sense. Problem is that T-Mobile is the only choice if you do want to make any use of high upfront cost/lower cost in the long-run vs little up-front cost/much high cost in the long-run that our society is prone for.

As for the plan not being cheaper... not so sure.

My regular plan:

120*24=2880

250 for two phones.

Total over the life of a contract: 3130.00

My value plan:

650 for two phones (100 for G2x, 150 for the Galaxy, plus 400 "conversion fee")

80*24=1920

Total over the life of a contract: 2570.00

Difference: 560

How's it not cheaper?

just got my touch in the mail and i installed the sprint screen protector perfectly with no bubbles or anything.. but with the screen off i get a terrible rainbow effect.. anyone else have this issue? i also got jipped and only got 2 protectors when im supposed to get 3 but thats another issue
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chrisnosleep:
Yes, I have noticed that on mine. Its only when its off and viewing it from the right angle though. I'm thinking it may go away after a while.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ajmcedar:
No, as I have never used any screen protection with this or the OG Epic. Never had any scratches and always carried in my pocket.

Love the naked screen.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jok3sta:
i thought the same thing with my og epic.. but after removing my protector i started noticing small scratches on my screen. very small but there.. so that just proved to me these screens arent as scratch resistant as we think..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KYT:
i have the sprint anti-glare screen protector on mine.

I don't have the rainbow effect when the screen is off, but i have weird rainbow speckles all over the screen when its on i think it ruinsthe screen. Considering taking the stupid thing off
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Zoidpilot:
Got the phone today... Its funny thats the first thing i noticed. I guess it will go away after awhile this happened with my OG Evo

[General Questions and Answers] Smokeyxwolf:
Well recently I tried turning off my tablet to save battery while I was in school, and since I never need my tablet in school it stays safely tucked away in my bag so i know that it isn't a faulty/damaged hardware issue.

After hours of seeing the Viewsonic symbol loop with Android flashing afterwards I decided to take the "fixing" into my own hands. I tried clearing everything of of cyanogen, to no avail because I can't boot very far, and eventually I clicked the wrong thing, and now I am stuck at the Viewsonic logo with the error: magic value mismatch.

-thanks for the help

P.S. It was updated to Honeycomb (but it was a fail of an update, core parts such as the camera and others did not work (which makes me sad on the inside)).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] tdmjk:
Hi guys,

I got a Transformer from China a couple of days ago and I was wondering if it was possible to change the firmware to another version?

I have tried putting the WW firmware as a ZIP file on the SD card but after a few seconds I get the android logo with an exclamation mark in it.

Alternatively, is it possible to get access to the android market with the Chinese firmware? I can't seem to install any non Chinese apps!

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] devistator18:
I wouldn't 100% recommend doing it but should be possible. I ended up accidentally flashing over the WW firmware onto my US version(file was misnamed) and everything functioned perfectly. In fact it seemed to fix my rebooting issues. here is the link to the files, just follow the instructions. If you manage to brick your TF, i am not responsible though.

Hi ppl.

As thread title already says I am looking for a Chat client with an option to disable remember password...

Why do I need it?

Well, I just want to login every time I open the chat client. And I dont want it to remember previous login. I want to type it all every time.

Dont ask me why... its a long story... :)

So, is there any simple solution. Chat protocol is not important. It could be any chat, just to have these options...

Thx in advance

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
Sorry about the late reply guys, I'll get the 3g icons fixed, hopefully the pull down, can anyone confirm that it's worked for any of the versions? and make a honeycomb 1-100% battery MOD for today.

just need to know if any of the inverted pull down MODs worked or if I need to re-make them all.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] iceman99393:
Volume wake worked. But 3g, inverted pulldown, and GPS crosshair did nothing. It actually took away the wording for each quick setting.

Crosshair remove/3G fix didn't work. It did the 3G, but did not remove the crosshair. Also inverted my notification bar which I don't like :p

Just a heads up. I'll try it again if it indeed does need fixing.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] platodd:
Ok, no FC with sound effects turned off, but I like the sounds. I'm going to try to enable sound now that I was able to load up without the FC, hopefully it will work. If not I'll let you know and go back to batteryminder program. Thanks, these Mods are great.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] platodd:
FC comes back with sound effects, it seems to be related to the screen animations, because without the sound the animation played and no FC. With the sound effects on I get FC every time the animation would have played. It worked fine on 2.37.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
This is a known issue with the black menu MOD that I have made in the past, never with any new MOD, sense is getting different with every release, sorry, i guess it's the MOD or sound effects, sucks you have to choose :(
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] platodd:
Well, I'm managing well so far. I guess I'm more addicted to knowing my battery status (preferably with the native battery icon) than to those cool sound effects. I'll be alright ... Lol.
