[HTC EVO 3D] tgruendler:
You waited 20+ months, what is another 10-14 days?
[HTC EVO 3D] Joey_UFC:
Yes it will definitely happen at some point. everywhere the iPhone goes eliminates the "unlimited Data Plan".

Verizon today also said that they're no longer allowing people to be grandfathered in. So no unlimited for anyone.

But i agree, this isn't that big of news too me but it is somewhat heartbreaking to see. First they destroyed the Premiere Members plan and now this.
[HTC EVO 3D] P_M_G:
IMO that'd be their kiss of death. It's the ONLY advantage they have compared to ATT and VZ. With all the other niggling changes (the change in how discounts are applied, the change in how shared plans are accounted for, etc) they are barely ahead of VZ in price for me (4 4G phones - what where's 4g?? - and 1 basic phone, and i can get away with 4gb data most months no problem) and if the network doesn't get better, i'm gone, let alone how fast I'd bail if they limited their unlimited...

here's an idea - TIER THE ISHEEP

leave us real smartphone users alone and limit/tier/throttle the iSheep users.
[HTC EVO 3D] Joey_UFC:
I still do not believe that iPhone has made connection slow for others and Sprint has said (if their truth to it or not) that iPhone has not slowed down data speeds for us other phones.

iPhone is not the problem, it's people who are with VZW who obviously don't mind paying a premiere price for their phone bills. Sprint is playing catch up with these other companies and becoming more and more of a elite company. no more of this VZW>ATT>SPRINT crap. they will be the 3 headed monsters in due time
[HTC EVO 3D] Genjinaro:
True but reverse the question, does it hurt Sprint to keep something that small of a perk?

It probably cost more money to update the staff & the system on the few minutes they took to address it. :p

XDA Since 2007...
[HTC EVO 3D] tuscani1821:
With the burden that is iPhone I think sprint would dump the ifrown before the only ace sprint has
[HTC EVO 3D] saboxerman:
Very possible it will. I've read an article (PCWorld, I think it was) that explained it clearly. Each carrier purchases/rents a certain amount of data spectrum. Verizon and AT&T started throttling and limiting data because usage on their respective spectrums were getting close to the limit. NOW, taking that into consideration, Sprint very literally owns/rents half of the spectrum that Verizon and AT&T do. So, what does that tell you? Eventually, even though they are not ready to state it publicly, chances are Sprint will abandon unlimited data.

See above.

True story, sir.
[HTC EVO 3D] kiewee3:
The thing is that Sprint always releases their flagship HTC phone in about the middle of May. Many people's upgrade date is June 1st, so that 14 days allows people who want to upgrade have the ability too pre-order. Now I hope that Sprint and HTC work together and make their flagship phone released on June 1st.

[HTC EVO 3D] daprospecta:
Honestly guys do you really think the Iphone is what pulls in the data? I'll give you an example. With my evo 3D, I pulled in over 9GB's last month on 3G and a little 4G(no torrenting) but both of my sisters own the iphone and they used 4 GB's together on our shared plan. One is somewhat tech-savvy but is on it constantly while the other uses it mainly for phone and pandora. Most iphone users don't know how to rape the unlimited data plans like I do. It's only going to be unlimited for so long so why not use it up. You want to complain you should complain to the average user on this site. We are the people using up the data not most of the iphone users.
[HTC EVO 3D] conradcbrown:
I'd rather not look at it as a "use as much as I can while it's still free" situation. If I need to download something significant, I'll use my home computer on broadband. I rarely download new ROMs directly with my phone. I'd rather not contribute to Sprint even having to consider throttling by only downloading what I need to with my phone so I can use more when I really have to.
[HTC EVO 3D] Blayz:
sprint shouldn't consider throttling because people are downloading things with their phone, thats the whole point of havnig an unlimited data plan, to not have to nit pick when and which files to download

it'd be different if i was downloading movies to my phone, to then transfer to my computer instead of just using my computers broadband, but why wouldn't a user with unlimited data download a file through the phone, when the file is for the phone?

lets all stop streaming music also, i mean we could download it with our computers, then transfer it to our phones, then make a playlist, that'd save sprint from having to throttle!

[7 Mozart General] Silvering:
So, i just bought it and immediatly updated it to Mango. Everything is good except the ringing. When somebody calls me and the phone is on the table, it rings as long as i pick it up from the table. Then the ringtone is starting to fade and stops. When in my pocket - same issue. I think it has something to do with the proximity sensor but i didn't find any settings/options about this. I don't want ringer to fade. Open for suggestions. Thanks in advance.
[7 Mozart General] HtcGamer:
Attentive's Phone

Go into settings and search for Attentive Phone...

You must then select the checkboxes you want...

That should solve the "problem" :)

I found it. It wasnt on the marketplace. You have to install it from HTC Hub and after that it moves itself to settings menu.

I had the latest Version Of Doc's Rom and it workd great for like 2 weeks... suddenly I started to get FCs and when I tried to reboot It has been on bootloop and stucked like that so even when I tried To Flash another kernel it has been stuck... how can I fix that? Cause i was very satissfied before from the rom ...
[HTC One X] IneffablePigeon:
Just received my second One X from amazon UK (first was sent back due to charging issues).

Been getting some weird things with the screen on this one, which I haven't heard of in the other threads. I have a fair amount of pixels on the screen that will flicker white on certain screens, particularly on the pull-down notification. The pixels seem to be roughly distributed along two vertical lines on the screen, and there's about 20-30, although it's hard to tell since they never flicker all at once. The white pixels don't show up in screenshots, so I don't think it's a software issue, although it's possible, I suppose.

They never show up on solid colors as far as i can make out, but i get them on the camera preview and in the notification drawer (seems to be that shade of grey combined with the fine texture that sets it off). Very occasionally I get it on the bubbles live wallpaper. I also get it when viewing screenshots of the notification pulldown, so it seems to be the colour/texture, not the actual window being drawn.

I can't tell if this is a software or hardware issue.. I've done a few reboots and a factory reset, which did absolutely nothing. It's always the same pixels, which suggests hardware to me, but then it's oddly specific circumstances that set it off.

Any ideas/anyone else getting similar issues?
[HTC One X] Cloudane:
Edit: re-reading your post it may not be what I thought. Info below for the "usual" screen flicker issue.

It's a well known issue that pretty much everyone has. The backlight flickers slightly due to a voltage drain when the CPU is busy, causing whites and greys to turn a slightly warmer "colour" for a moment.

It's fixed in the 1.29.11 (not 1.29.7) update which just rolled out in Europe and should follow in the UK in about 2 weeks. It takes up to 2 more weeks after the update for it to monitor the voltage of your individual screen and learn to compensate so the flicker goes away.
[HTC One X] IneffablePigeon:
Yeah, it's not the backlight, it's literally single pixels flickering from their correct colour to white.
[HTC One X] IneffablePigeon:
So I've been through the standard factory reset crap with customer service, and they're recommending I sent it in for repair. Has anyone had any luck with the repair centre (I'm in the UK)?

Not sure if it's even worth sending it back since I'm still not sure if it's a hardware or software issue. If it's a software issue, will they fix it, or will they just turn it back and go "nope, couldn't find anything"?
[HTC One X] reckoner_85:
I have EXACTLY the same issue, but with two pixels only, I'm almost convinced it's a hardware fault because I'm on a custom rom and it's still there, I got mine without a warranty though so I'll have to deal with it, any suggestions other than acceptance?
[HTC One X] kami2k:
I have same issue, i change the rom and now its fine. it was almost on 3 or 4 roms, and finally its disappear
[HTC One X] reckoner_85:
Well thank you that's rather comforting to know, fingers crossed :)

Have you guys seen this? Doesn't totally surprise me. I figured it would happen sooner or later. Still makes me sad though.

[Motorola Droid 4] xredjokerx:
as soon as it happens, I'm cancelling my contract (since they violated the TOS), and jumping ship to an MNVO.

I don't mind not having unlimited data so as far as my bill reflects that.
[Motorola Droid 4] kwyrt:
Please forgive my ignorance, but what is an MNVO?
[Motorola Droid 4] redddog:
I don't know if they would be violating the TOS. I'm pretty sure the contracts that we all signed gave them the right to change any damn thing they want, whenever they want to.

This move has probably been planne for since 4g was a but a twinkle in their eye.

I'm pretty sure we'll have to wait out our "upgraded" contracts until the original end dates. And they're betting that by then, we'll have gotten used to the "upgrades."

I just love that have the nuts to call this an upgrade. Freaking hilarious.
[Motorola Droid 4] dewhashish:
well from what ive read, it's for customers with a 3G phone going to a 4G phone. I think if you don't upgrade from them you should be able to keep it. Looks like if the Nexus line expands and is sold through the google play store, im buying my phones straight from google
[Motorola Droid 4] standard101:
that how i'm reading it too, it doesn't sound like i will be required to change my data plan until i upgrade again.
[Motorola Droid 4] gnoitall:
Probably. But that's the velvet glove. Do we know anything about the iron hand inside? If Verizon's spiel is "Upgrade to 4G LTE" and the customer's response is "No thanks", will Verizon counter with "Upgrade to LTE or else find another provider"?

The mindset I'm sensing behind killing off grandfathered unlimited is that they want all of their customers capped, and if you won't be capped, you won't be their customer. They're playing chicken, and most of their affected customer base will be the first to flinch.

Tappin' and talkin' with Tapatalk.
[Motorola Droid 4] gnoitall:
Yeah, looks like they've opened a loophole in their plan. You lose your grandfathered unlimited if you buy a subsidized new phone (i.e., renew contract). So, if you craigslist or ebay a phone, and convince Verizon to activate it, you'll keep the unlimited data. (Or, if you like giving money to Verizon, buy the phone new from them.)

Interesting. I wonder how many upgrading customers who want the new-new shiny and don't pay much attention to contract plan dynamics will miss that distinction and lose their unlimited access without fully realizing it?
[Motorola Droid 4] zounduser:
Yup im switching to tmobile! This is such bs!! Tmobile will b the only carrier left with "unlimited" data, after verizon pulls this stunt!!! Oh well, tmobile @ least has the one series phones. Suck it verizon!!

Hi, we have just got this phone,

Overall pretty happy, runs very fast and snappy. The only issues are the limited Google play apk access and occasional battery overheat? On earlier versions of android market it was possible to change the build file properties so that Market thought it was a different device without apk limitations. I can play around with this once it is rooted.

Did you use the zopo 100 root method from the zopo website with their “TPSparkyRoot” program?

Unfortunately some apps are not shown on Play market cause market cosiders these apps not compatible with "alps x310e" device and there is no solution for that.

I think there is solution for that . i found google play moded but it's old version and ever time i install it ofcourse by root expolare . it's update by it's self

plus there is app came with the device it's called chinaapps .. it's awesome you can find every thing in it .. i use it all the time .. the only problem with it in Chinese languages

i want to ask you something .. my phone take alot of time to be charged .. is that happen with you or just me ?
