Once again its unlimited data for your phone. If you can manage to use 20 gigs of data on your phone only, nothing will happen.

But if you tether then the data is not just being used by the phone. Your adding another device to it. There for Sprint is keeping to their word of unlimited.

On no advertisement does it say unlimited data includes tethering to other devices. They said tethering is available at a additional charge.

I really don't know why I try to keep up with the non sense in this thread but for some reason I do.

[Epic 4G General] vita10gy:
I doubt it has much to do with tethering, or at least it's probably incidental.* Besides which that's entirely beside the point as to whether the claims of unlimited data is "misleading".

Sprint would never dream of dropping someone who tethers 24/7 but uses a total of 300 megs a month. They almost certainly reserve the right to drop a person who uses 300 GIGs a month, even if it's 100% from their phone.

Pointing to your "illegal" tethering might give them an easier out PR/complaint wise, but I very much doubt they'd need that clause. Most businesses reserve the right to refuse service for whatever reasons they see fit.

You can't advertise "one price = unlimited", and then charge more if they go over some amount. You CAN tell someone "you aren't welcome here anymore". Those are two different things, and isn't at all misleading/hypocritical/conflicting/etc.

Again, I make the all you can eat buffet analogy: If I advertise "All you can eat $10" then I can't charge more than $10 to some guy who ate (or purposely wasted "because he could") $1000 worth of food. However, I probably do have the right spelled out somewhere to ask him to take a hike, and I sure as hell don't have to seat him the next time he comes back. There's nothing in conflict in that policy.

*I mean, I don't doubt that virtually everyone who is dropped is guilty of tethering, because lots of people do, and because frequent tethering is an express membership to the dozens of gigs a month club. But data usage is the reason, tethering is the excuse.

I used 21GB of data in a month once also used 5GB of roaming data in a month (not recommended) who did you piss off buddy.
[Epic 4G General] vobguy:
Interesting about the packet size. I wonder about the packet size of a galaxy tab or an ipod touch?

I have wanted to use the tether occasionally , maybe once or twice a month I have an opportunity where it would have been nice. But for that, maybe 40 meg tops, it just isn't worth paying what they charge.

When I have needed to use it a lot, I have turned n the feature for a month and made use of it.

I wish I knew how!!

Men U got urs canceled out and u ain't happy! I wanna get out of Sprint and I cant I wish I knew how to use excessive data to get mine canceled out!!! I tried usin my PS3 with the hotspot but I gave it out after a while to laggy!! I WANT OUT OF SPRINT I WISH I WAS YOU!!!!!!!!!!:confused:
[Epic 4G General] pvtjoker42:
got a friend that's tryin to get cancelled.. he's at over 21gb of ROAMING data this month so far.. pretty sure the end is nigh for him, but surprised they've let it go this long..
[Epic 4G General] Speedin07si:
And people wonder why etf's are high. And why fees come out of no where every year..... thanks guys for screwing over the people who want to stay w/ sprint.

Everyone who tries to make sprint cancel them should be blacklisted from every cell phone company.

Be a effing man and stick to your word ... PAY YOUR ETF if you hate sprint so much. You signed a legal contact stick to your end of the agreement.

One point that no one has mentioned (or I didn't see it, anyway) - we only have his side of the story. He may be unwilling to post an important detail here, or he may even be missing part of the story himself

Either way, if anyone tries to purposely cancel a contract through unusual means because they can't hold up their end of the deal, what does that say about the trustworthiness and accountability? There may be a valid explanation in some cases, but if you plan to assume one way or the other, that's not the safe assumption
[Epic 4G General] frostedunit:
That goes both ways, though.

I agree with your point about people who get themselves cancelled for BS reasons and that effect on the rest of us. Sprint has us over a barrel with the contract terms, and they know it.

But what about Sprint's end of the agreement? I can look out my window and see a Sprint tower 1000' away, but I have to go outside to use my 4G. And try working with a guy who gets Verizon 4G while you're on 1X roaming.

Both sides need to honor their agreements, but customers shouldn't have to resort to underhanded tactics if they have a legitimate reason for wanting to cancel.

Shower Shortz - For the man who has nothing to hide, but still wants to.
[Epic 4G General] Speedin07si:
That could simple be whatever the building your in is made of to thick of material for "good" cell single to get through. That and sprint made the mistake with wimax and are trying to make up for it with lte. Basically Sprint is having to play catch up.

In due time sprint is taking over all the nextel towers which will have better indoor coverage.

In other words- I'm staying a loyal customer since I've been with Sprint/Nextel for over just about 10 years. I uphold my agreements makes me who I am. If sprint wants to slack on their end.... idc I can make calls,text, surf the web just fine.

[Epic 4G General] Mr_Jay_jay:
Dude I got my reasons why I want to cancel, is not just cuz I hate sprint, I was pretty happy with them til I started using Smart Phones, they charge me every month to what's rightfully theirs, and in other end I get spotty service, drop calls,Slow 4G even outside my house, I have to go way out of my area to get decent signal and data service, tried talkin, reasoning, and they really don't care, so why would I? there should be a Fee against companies for not fulfilling their end of the contract which is to provide a service just like their ads say they are!!
[Epic 4G General] Speedin07si:
So pay your ETF and go elsewhere, like verizon.

Go complain to the BBB, write bad reviews, write to the CEO for all I care.

I believe everyone had 30 days to test drive sprints network and walk away hassle free. Even after those 30 days in the 2 years I've had the Epic , there has been a 2 or 3 times where customers could get out of their contract ETF free, because sprint changed their TOS.

All I'm saying is be the bigger person and stand by your word that you gave when you signed the contract. Guess some people don't care or believe in doing the right thing, even when your the one being screwed over.

i have verizon with unlimited data i been with them for 3 years and had 4g for about little more then a year i allways use about 15-30gigs a month never had any problems and yes i use PDAnet with out a Tether plan
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
They let you get away with it because punctuation costs them more than all other data ;)

Just teasing...

Anyway, unless I'm misinformed (always a possibility), VZ's unlimited data customers are grandfathered in, but unlimited is not available for new customers.
[Epic 4G General] dohturdima:
You are not misinformed - and Verizon now forces even grandfathered users off their unlimited data plan if they want a new subsidized phone/sign a new contract after June 28. the only way to keep unlimited data after July 28 is to pay full retail for a new phone.
[Epic 4G General] DCRocks:
I got no issue with those that take advantage of contract loop holes to avoid the ETF.

You can dam sure bet that Sprint will take advantage of every loophole and small print they can, whenever they need to work something to their advantage, so why should the customer not do the same.

There is no difference between 20GB of phone data and 20GB of tethering data to other sprint customers, even through one is allowed and the other can get you cancelled, and 20GB of roaming data is actually BETTER for other Sprint customers, as it is not via Sprint.

So, if a person checks their contract with Sprint, finds a point they can use to their advantage, more power to them, you can bet your phone company does the exact same thing, whenever, and however best suits their needs.

Yep... that what got me kicked off the Sprint network.... flashed my e4g to cricket... the rep for Sprint said I could port my number back in like 6-9 months.... can't wait... missing MMS.. :(
[Epic 4G General] Xinlitik:
To be fair, Sprint isn't doing much to hold up their end of the bargain. My reception has gotten significantly worse since I signed on. And not in a subtle way. I literally could not make a phone call in my entire town yesterday. I used to have weak but reliable reception nearly everywhere...they removed a tower, or something. Elsewhere, my reception has gotten spottier and switches to 1x half the time. If I turn on 4g while driving, I'm lucky if it lasts 15 minutes before switching to 3g. This is LA, one of the biggest cities in the US. How is that acceptable service, given that I pay an extra 10 a month?
[Epic 4G General] gmp029:
If you get booted from sprint for excessive roaming do you also lose the ability to port your number to another carrier?
[Epic 4G General] frostedunit:
They usually give you a grace period to switch carriers.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jasawr:
HI,

I've been tampering with my HTC ONE XL on Telstra's network and didnt realise that the Tegra chipset had anything to do with how the software ran on the handset - basically, I've unlocked my bootloader via HTCDEV.com, however, couldnt flash a custom recovery.

So now the bootloader comes up, it says **tampered**

**unlocked**, but when i try to boot, it says that "This version of software is for development purpouses any unauthorised use of this is against the law" i can not seem to recover it anyway i have tried all of the methods that i can find on here. included getting the stock RUU and browsing in temp and finding the system.img and flashing through fastboot cmd.

Ive contacted a HTC rep who sent me the stock ROM but that still doesn't fix it.

Could someone give me some instructions on how I might me able to get it to boot, as there isnt a ONE XL thread on here.

I'm happy to donate some $$ via paypal too.

TIA.

JASAWR.

**EDIT**: Forgot to mention that I've been using the ONE X roms - which is why I made reference to the Tegra chipset above.

Bootloader has been unlocked successfully, but no recovery and no custom ROM - just a standard HTC logo with red writing "this build is for development purposes only, etc etc"

TIA

You can relock the bootloader and run an RUU. You MUST relock to run the RUU. Why can't you flash a recovery?

BTW, if you have a One XL then you don't have a Tegra. It's an S4.

I did not get the second email but battery life is not bad for me at all actually maybe better! The issues I had were camera not taking good quality pics or not taking any at all, wifi not switching between access point or sometimes coming on at all, keyboard was rubbish, jittery screen, but it is better now except the wifi thing sometimes doesn't work still.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] heckfm:
I received both emails, but I agree that battery life has not been adversely affected on my MAXX. Overall the update is well worth it, even if there is a slight decrease in battery life.

Okay time to break the seal on noob questions.. :)

Why did it take convincing to post this?

I'm not able to do an exhaustive search because I don't have my laptop with me. If coming from an ICS AOKP ROM, do I have to take special steps, or can I wipe and flash from recovery? My kernel is clockwork based, but I'm not sure if I need to change bootloaders.

Thank you for your work! I basically went straight from froyo into ICS, so I'm curious to see what the GB hype is all about. It seems that there are diehard GB users out there.
[Captivate Android Development] robm1911:
the reason it took some convincing for me to do this is I am actually a themer for The Collective not a dev. The extremely talented dev I theme for crt60 has been trying to get me to do a ROM for a while now and MPD ROM is the result.

So if your coming from an ICS based ROM you will have to use Odin to reformat the partitions on your sd card ICS uses a diffrent partition table. I highly recommend the KK4 with repartition by 4-2ndtwin found here then flash the CWM kernel (link in op). You will need to be on I897 GB bootloaders I am not real sure what bootloaders the ICS ROMs use but you can chek your current ROM's thread to find out. If you end up needing them the one clicks linked above has a version with and without bootloaders.

there are a few reasons for the die hard GB fans, there has been a lot of development on GB and some of the features haven't quite made it to ICS yet. There is also the EU bug that has some users afraid of rendering thier device useless from running an ICS ROM. Lastly and I'm prolly gonna open a can of worms on this one but battery life (from what I hear) is better on GB.
[Captivate Android Development] richsale:
Can mods and themes from Legend 4 be used on this rom ?

Edit: I don't think so. I tried the circle battery and on reboot it never got past the boot animation
