[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Shystep:
Wow!

Thank you for the information

Ill be looking at there website since i switch my phones out (sidekick4g to the Samsung Galaxy s 2)

both on t-mobile and since i like my sidekick i use it for personal use and my sg2

for business use

and since t-mobiles plans like to charge me up the wall i cant afford both phones atm
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
I hear ya. for $60 a month, you can get unlimited talk, text, and high speed 4g data from simple mobile. for two phones that would be $120. thats a better price than tmobile.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Shystep:
Yes 200$ a month is crazy
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
I pay $150/mo. for two lines, and I share 1,000 min with my wife. we also have unlimited text and web with 2gb of high speed data per line included. I think its like the second cheapest family plan, but the cheapest only includes like 500 min or something like that. the 150 is after taxes though.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] casper82384:
But what simple mobile did not tell you is on the 4g you only get so much data
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
Nope. Nevermind, casper. You're the guy who made that other post complaining about simple mobile. the data is unlimited on the phone, they just dont allow tethering. it says right on the webpage they dont allow that, and its a violation of their terms and conditions. thats your fault, not theirs. so dont come in here talking trash just because you are mad that you cant tether.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ArkieKDealer:
Sidekick 4G works just fine on Simple Mobile. No unlock is needed as Simple is a Tmobile MVNO.

APNs need to be changed per instructions available online just like all other Androids.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
they might be on a tmobile network in your area, but they might use other providers' networks in other areas. a lot of prepaid providers use several different carriers networks, spread out over different areas. tmobile might have offered them the cheapest price in your area, but att or someone might offer them a cheaper price in my area. tracfone for example, uses tmobile, att, and even sprint. their phones are all gsm, but sprint provides airtime to some of their devices. and they use more than one network in the same area. it wont tell you that on their website or in a user manual. i called tracfone to ask if an unlocked phone could be used with a tracfone sim. they said no and gave me all the info i just explained above.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timonoj:
Hi,

Tomorrow my girlfriend leaves for China for a week, and she'll be missing the usual things, facebook, youtube and such. Is there a way I can set up a VPN server on my PC so she can get connected to my machine (in Hong Kong) and get proper uncensored traffic from China? Which app should she use to connect? She has a Galaxy Note.

I tried this before (with windows 7 default server), with not much success. I can try either Windows or Kubuntu for the server, whichever is easier to work with.

Could you guys give me a hand on this?

Thanks a lot!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulreminder:
Simply download UltraSurf aka UltraReach aka 无界 over at www .ultrareach. com/ for desktop use, this app is the best free one click way to breach the censorship. I use this app on daily basis here in China. On handset wise if your girl friend uses android devices, just browse the market and download "Verizon Opera", a browser based on Opera Mini 5 that Opera made for Verizon customers since it sends data directly to Verizon wireless servers which bypasses the government firewall. Its features are a little bit outdated, no in browser download support or flash or offline browsing, yet still itis the most simple solution on the go to visit blocked sites such as twitter, fb, cnn, bbc, deutschland world (dw.de), IRF, etc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timonoj:
Ok, I'll definitely try that version of Opera, thank you for the information!

Regarding Ultrasurf, what's the difference with the (allegedly) newer UltraVPN? Both of these are desktop clients, but I believe she'll be taking only the phone this time. I thank you for the tip, as those seem to be free (first time I find a free VPN server, I'm a bit suspicious as why is that one free), but I'd like to find an equivalent for Android, if possible :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulreminder:
Sibling products? To be very honest I'm not quite sure about the ultraVPN. The reason that ultrasurf is free of charge is word on the street says this app is sponsored by anti censorship groups and funds based in the US, with a sole purpose - to help netizen in mainland China breach the system. In other words it's not developed by any ordinary commercial firm.

Yes there are other solutions aside of ultrasurf, like Tor for Firefox, Google's own goagent (which has certain traffic limit for free users 1GB per day.), but non of which offers similar easy to use features as ultrasurf does.

The reason why most mainstream US vnp services are down in China is that those vnp providers have been blocked by Chinese government's GFW way beforehand.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timonoj:
Good to know. Thank you very much indeed!

For the phone thouhg, there's no other free alternative, right?

Thank you!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulreminder:
The goagent I mentioned before is a universal proxy solution on both desktop and handheld platforms. Follow a step by step tutorial which can be found by Googling, set up a free account for goagent on desktop. Then download GAEProxy from market to your android device, choose goagent type of proxy, configure it with the account you set before and you are hooked up. In this way all apps like native twitter, Facebook, linked in, browsers, YouTube client are with the mighty force of Google's proxy. But for instant and light web use, I still recommended Verizon Opera.

Microsoft hasn't even announce Tango yet, let alone Apollo (Windows Phone 8).
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elpinta25:
I understood what I have is that if Tango will be available for first-generation devices and Apollo will not get to see it because multicore devices will run normal and the technology advances and we will remove our devices and buy a new one, asin is the technology :D

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] downloaderintruder:
Oh sure, even low-range Tango devices, which is apparently 2nd<->3rd gen devices, will get Apollo, and mid-range 1st gen devices dont? Its been said, all current WP's WILL GET Apollo, only with a few missing features due to hardware limitations. Its like those HTC devices, 1st gens don't have extra features like STK and Camera Mode, whereas 2nd gens have these nifty features.

According to the following article the answer is NO for all (1st/2nd gen) :mad:

Sounds like current and upcoming Windows Phone 7.x devices won't receive an upgrade to Windows Phone 8 "Apollo."
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FiyaFleye:
All of you guys are just making assumptions and going off of rumors that some blogger has pulled out of their ass, lol. I personally feel it will be upgradable, especially considering Microsoft's history with being able to install an OS on significantly older hardware. Yes, we might be missing features, but, hello, the same thing happened on Mango. Afaik I don't have a gyroscope, so guess what, my phone doesn't utilize it. And that's my assumption on what's going to happen with Apollo. All devices will get it, it'll just have the tango-effect in the marketplace and with features.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EgoMaximus:
I am not sure how many IT techs are aware of the new MS approach, but let me tell you this, as from Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Sinofsky

Sinofsky's philosophy on Windows 7 was to not make any promises about the product or even discuss anything about the product until Microsoft was sure that it felt like a quality product. This was a radical departure from Microsoft's typical way of handling in-development versions of Windows, which was to publicly share all plans and details about it early in development cycle. Sinofsky also refrained from labeling versions of Windows "major" or "minor", and to instead just call them releases.

This is what they do with all MS products right now.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illegaloperation:
From talks with a few Microsoft employees, I can tell you that are hard feelings in Redmond about Mango.

Apparently, Mango was announced way too early. As a result, competitors were able to copy features and Windows Phone Mango weren't impressive compare to the competitors.

In addition, Microsoft is furious about Pocketnow's Apollo leak. In fact, furious is an understatement.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seraph1024:
I was originally told that ALL WP devices will get at least 2 major revision updates in their life cycle. Read that carefully. 2 Major revision -- Mango is a major revision. Tango is a minor update. So I'd assume Apollo will be the next major one. So ALL phones currently in the market will get Apollo.

Which is a big issue for OEMs since OEMs would rather sell you a new phone (see Android). WP also does not need multicore devices to function well anyways... so... I think we'll see Apollo on all of our devices.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve10:
We were also once told that wireless carriers wouldn't be able to permanently hold back multiple updates; yet, AT&T continues to delay (or block, as they won't confirm either) 7740 and 8107 for all of their devices. I wouldn't believe anything you hear today, regardless of the source. When summer or fall comes around and Apollo is in the near future, I'd say that's when we'll begin to find out what their plans are. Though with wireless carriers taking more control of the update ecosystem (through the increasing lack of update transparency this year) I wouldn't be surprised if there is no official announcement from Microsoft at all. If Microsoft makes an Apollo build available for older generation devices I'd expect most carriers to sit on it for months, that is, if they ever release it.

LOL, people already whine about no WP8 update, yet they have no idea what it will bring to the table, all they want is a number. All I care about is bit locker encryption and quad core CPU, there is no way WP8 update will add this on my device.

- I want WP8 update

- Why?

- Cause it says 8

- I want Apple, Apple is the best

- Why?

- Cause it's Apple

Well, hopefully, MS will release a registry patch, which changes version number from 7 to 8, so everyone is happy.

This attitude is preposterous.

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicsquid:
Here's two reasons (aka educated guesses) why an upgrade to WP8 could be beneficial:

- more apps able to use native code (rather than managed code), which should provide performance benefits to third-party apps that use it.

- ability to run apps written for WP8. We know WP8 will run WP7 apps. However, will WP7 run WP8 apps - this information is not available. Possible the supply of WP7 compatible apps could dry up over time.

But mostly just because I like the number 8 as you say :p
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenzibit:
We don't mean numbers when we talk of wp8. We talk of support, features, reliability and great updates. I don't need quad core in wp, to ask you, why u would u need it...it's not android os we talking about here we here in the forums know what we talking about and what we need so you just cant come here and say we need stuff cz the are there. Yea we need better encryption but to hell with quad cores on this os....it's for the market.

Sent from my HTC HD7 Windows Phone using Board Express.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EgoMaximus:
Because quad core enables to:

- Utilize all cores for the next generation games and apps, improving user experience and developers income options

- Utilize 1 out of 4+1 cores when idling, saving battery life and improving user experience

- 1080p video recording and support for 1080p high profile video

- Faster app and game loading times

- Better utilization of touch

- Better power per watt

I think that 1st generation phones won't be updated to Windows Phone 8, and here's the reason:

http://articles.businessinsider.com...5804_1_windows-phone-android-phones-andy-lees

Anyway I think this sucks. I bought my phone even before NoDo and it became completely usable only with Mango, so Microsoft used me as a betatester, because what I had before Mango was NOT a finished product!

They say that Apple is wrong because new OSs make older devices slower, well at least users have the possibility to choose if they want to upgrade or not!

Make my phone upgradable to WP8 and then I'll choose if it's too slow for me or it's OK, but this seems to me just a lame excuse to break the support for 1st gen devices. I don't want to change my phone because it's perfect as it is and I don't need something more powerful, that's all, but don't tell me that WP8 will need more than 1Ghz to run smooth...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EgoMaximus:
You will get Tango, which is NOT for lower end devices only, as some speculate. There are two Tango versions.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenzibit:
I agree with you brother, my HD7 is still new and good and I really don't wanna change my phone too coz too expensive in my country coz they are unbranded and not carrier based. I have to safe heavily in order to buy a new phone which is not possible coz current one is still working properly.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicsquid:
Except that the article doesn't say that. Terry gave no comment as to whether existing phones will be upgraded to WP8 - he avoided answering the question. "Myerson didn't answer, since Microsoft hasn't even announced its next mobile platform."
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AshleyT:
Just because they change the OS name, doesn't mean it's a major update.

NoDo wasn't a major update, neither Tango will be.

Microsoft promised 2 major updates, so Mango and then... Apollo!

So if they don't update my device, I won't trust Microsoft again... Hoping that HaRET on WP7's project will be ultimated!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenzibit:
Yeah you right, we will never support them again coz what shows history wont repeat itself. We will get WP8 devices and then when it's time for WP9 upgrade, they will announce wp8 devices just can't. What sort of operating OS is that. They should try and copy apple whereby they deliver new updates to older devices based on hardware. They shouldn't force us to change phones coz they don't know our pockets but rather let the consumers decide if a new phone is needed....no matter the OS update.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROCOAFZ:
If it's perfect, then you don't need apollo and shouldn't really care about this thread right? And it will still work at the same speed without the update.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AshleyT:
Yes, but lots of new applications won't run on WP7 because they'll need more access to the system which will be possible only on WP8.

We will see something as Tango, where we will be able to install only some applications and this is unfair! If my phone can support it, I want it on my phone!

Otherwise my next phone will be a Nexus...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve10:
I know you may realize this already, but I have to point out that Android has this limitation too. There are now apps that do not run on the myriad of 2.x devices out there because they were built with the 4.0 SDK (APK, or whatever they call it on Android). While we now know that Windows Phone will not be as uniformly updated as iOS, it is still far better off than Android. This being said, I think you'll find much better support over the long-term with Windows Phone over Android.

Secondly, I think it has been stated already that these low-end Tango devices will not be replacing hardware in "first-world markets" like the US, Canada, and western Europe. Devices in these countries should continue to have 512+MB of RAM and fully support the latest Windows Phone builds to the best of their ability. If that means early-generation devices don't get Windows Phone 8, that may be the case. But by then, the first-gen devices will be 2 years old and you'll likely want better hardware so that the newer software performs well anyway. I wouldn't worry too much, as Microsoft has never said anything about Apollo (mostly to avoid killing the market for upcoming Nokia devices this spring), so there's still a lot of time to wait out before we can celebrate or complain about support (or lack thereof) for Windows Phone 8 on older devices.
