I think it's a worthy mention that person 2 still owes the price of nexus 5.... so it be 396 + 205 if he doesn't upgrade again. He can jump to avoid paying the debt of the current phone, but eventually he'll be paying full price for a phone.

Person 1 can upgrade as soon as the new hot phone comes out. Person 2 has to wait for 0 down promotion or suffer a loss.
[Nexus 5 General] PhilipTD:
Yeah, you're exactly right, the $396 loss becomes obscured in the verbiage.
[Nexus 5 General] nerv8765:
I prefer to just stick to buying my phones off-contract. With the Nexus line being so great at such an amazing price, it seems way better than perpetually paying $20+ a month to basically rent a phone.

Not to mention that pre-paid prices are *so* much better. Like, half the price better. And if you want insurance, you can always get it through one of the many phone insurance companies by yourself for cheaper.
[Nexus 5 General] dakalter:
Interesting thing tho is say you owe 500 dollars at the 6month period on a phone and you really don't want Tmobile any more. You can trade that phone in and jump to a phone that costs 100 pay off the phone for 100 and now your off contract.
[Nexus 5 General] PJcastaldo:
I love jump. .. Have had my T-Mobile service for almost 10 years.. So far they have waived the down payment for me twice. And i mean it wasn't 0 down.. They waived it.

My N5 is great.. But in six months i might want the latest and greatest.. And this allows me to do that. They squash what ever you owe and start you fresh.. Its a great deal IMO.
[Nexus 5 General] maxpower7:
That's..... actually a great idea.
[Nexus 5 General] kingsway8605:
Jump includes insurance. That's the difference between it and the plans offered by other carriers and it's what makes it a good deal.
[Nexus 5 General] sky high:
insurance + ability to upgrade twice a year for $120 a year...it was a no brainer. The only thing I wonder is if I completely pay off a phone do I still have to trade it in because I really like my nexus 5 and I might just pay it off and get a new phone if a really good one comes out.
[Nexus 5 General] jpeterson066:
Yeah the rep at the T-Mobile store the other day told me you could hold onto it and continue to make payments on it, while getting a new phone with your jump upgrade and making payments on that also. I asked because I started my contract with a Nexus 4 that I don't have anymore.
[Nexus 5 General] bmwjnky:
I switched to their JUMP program when I bought my N5 before x-mas. I was able to keep my N4 since it was paid for at that time and they would have given me $140 credit for it if I traded it in but wanted to keep it as a spare just in case something happened to my N5 and I had to wait for a replacement. I was told if I pay off the N5 early I can keep it but the $10 a month is still charged since its also the insurance for the phone. Also the JUMP insurance covers more than their older device insurance does. Since switching to JUMP my bill has gone down about $8 a month and the monthly payments for the N5 are $3 or $4 cheaper than my N4 was. I'm not sure how T-mobile is making money on this setup but I'm sure they have it figured out somewhere. I like the new JUMP program, I'm saving over $10 a month for a newer device with better insurance and I can upgrade in 6 months and not have to pay off my current phone.
[Nexus 5 General] TXRaunchy:
You can always cancel JUMP!

Do it online via t-mobile.com
[Nexus 5 General] Torethyr:
I would have paid for insurance anyway and it's only an additional $2 on top of insurance for JUMP. I usually don't want to drop the capital on a new phone and prefer the monthly method. Sure, it's not as thrifty as outright buying and then selling later, but whatever. It's good enough for my needs.
[Nexus 5 General] Bowmanspeer:
OK. I hear you. I jumped. $700 device. 6 months. $25 / month + $10 / month = device payment + full insurance = $310. Option 1: keep paying for the phone and cancel insurance, pay off phone its mine. Option 2: trade in phone for new one, continue paying the same. I was just old today, after the initial 6 months I can trade in any time. Bye bye S4, hello G2!
[Nexus 5 General] rans0m00:
Here is what I didn't understand when I switched... So they offered me the jump thing with insurance for 10$. I asked him if I just pay off my current phone can I get another one anytime I want and he says yes. So my plan is this... Pay off the current phone after about two months and then when the s5 comes out then buy that on a payment plan... Then pay it off when it comes time for the note 4... Then sell my note 3 to help pay for my note 4... When the s6 comes out I sell my s5 to help pay for my s6. Still losing money to have the latest phones but not paying T-Mobile any extra money and can still upgrade anytime I want.
[Nexus 5 General] BirchBarlow:
Obviously they're not going to give people a free lunch, they have to turn a profit. If you're one of those people who always has to have the latest generation phone I can see how this would appear attractive. Obviously this is marketed as an "affordable alternative" to people who can't afford to buy the phone outright, kind of like leasing a car where you never recover what you pay into it.
[Nexus 5 General] altimax98:
True but as I mentioned in an earlier post there is a HUGE difference between cars and phones. That being value depreciation. Cars keep their values far better then phones, most normally priced ($500+) phones lose almost half their value in about a year. Jump (for a year) costs half that depreciation value.

T-Mobile doesn't make their money off people like us they actually lose it. They make their money in 2 places:

People who don't upgrade

People who 1: make a down payment or 2: pay off a larger amount of device during the EIP payments
[Nexus 5 General] gummybear00:
Basically you're leasing a phone for $25 + $10 per month for a year. That's $420 year for 2 phone upgrades. If you bought a full priced Note 3 or something and sell it next year, $700 probably becomes $450-400 so you've lost maybe $250-300 in depreciation. You're paying the extra $120-170 for insurance and having the latest phone + the $60 from the initial 6 month period. If you bought a Nexus 5, next year it'll probably only drop by $100.

T-mobile is making $420/year from you and they can refurbish and resell the used phones or give them to other JUMP customers.
[Nexus 5 General] Torethyr:
Yeah but what if you want insurance anyway? I'd never want to go insurance-less. I don't have the money to just get a new phone without working my budget around. At least monthly payments spread out the hurt.
[Nexus 5 General] LaserChicken:
It should be noted that they take nearly any phone as a trade. I gave them a pair of dead DROID X's, and they paid off my Verizon account etf ($550.00). Fair trade, in my book.

Yes, I did have to buy 2 new phones, but my bill went down by 40 dollars. The cost off two N5's, 33 dollars. Still saving seven bucks AND I have my unlimited data back, which Verizon doesn't offer.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] teothewolf:
Hi people over there :laugh:

I want to know a thing: why, when you flash a new update of a rom (maybe in this case, the paranoid), you have to flash a new package of gapps too? I mean, why cna't flash and old one? I am curious about what would be the result flashing an old version of gapps instead flashing the same version the rom is running on.

P.S. i know this is a super-noob question but..please be gentle :angel:
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] aqsede:
there is nothing wrong with flashing an old version of GApps, but they may be a problem if the gapps is for different android version. flashing a newer GApss will result in saving storage, because it is stored in system. if you update them manually using playstore, it will use your device storage thus making it limited for personal use because we all know how big all that apps sum up. I myself didn't always download GApps package update to flash but instead I just update in Play Store.

Thanks huangyz for your reply. My question was very generic since I was still in the deciding stage at that time. I have just finalized my order for Qtek 9100 today. Are you using the updated PushEmail ROM for Qtek ? Hows your experience on the stability. When I spoke to the store guys, 2 of them told me that this version is still unstable. Hows your experience been.

yes,im using the newest 2.17.7.2wwe rom,it's really stable and fast , even with the omapclock set to 240MHz. my Qtek9100 has been running for several days without a restart . think this would be the contribution of the AKU2 thing.

i don't use pushemail, so, no suggest about it.

another thing i must say is that by now i have only the SPB-GPRS-Monitor plugging installed, no other Today-Addons. 'cause i need to confirm which PPC utilities would have a conflict against this new rom. I am planning to install Resco-Explorer this weekend.

Hope this could help you.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] bnycastro:
hi there huangyz!

Did you ever try the Qtek Test ROM 2.8.7.1 WWE before going to 2.17.7.2 ? Would you say 2.17 performs better [without Overclocking] than 2.8? I loaded 2.8 because I wanted A2DP for BT and as I understand it 2.17 does not have A2DP, I won't be using Push E-Mail. So I am deciding if I should flash to 2.17 or stay with 2.8 and wait for another ROM.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] JoninLA:
Just to endorse Huangyz comments, I'm running the new QTEK 2.17.7.2 ROM as well and it's very very stable (I use the OMAP at 240 as well). Am using the SPB Pocket Plus on it with no issues - can't remember the last time it was hanging needing soft reset. For some odd reason I also no longer have issues with Activesync failing every few synchs but that may be unrelated.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] bnycastro:
you are probably right with it being unrelated. for me I haven't been having AS issues even with the dopod shipped ROM or the Qtek Test ROM. Can you shed some light on performance without Overclocking or would you say that overclocking is a must [I am not sure if I am ready to trade off the device's uptime for a slight increase in performance]. With the Test ROM when I listen to MP3s using BT A2DP and then try to do something else [i.e. compose an sms or type a short note/document]... the device becomes slow as a snail and it is very annoying...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] araje:
Hi,

I have heard alot about omapclock and about overclocking the device. I know that it shouldnt be overclocked beyond a specific limit as it may make the device unstable. But, forgive me, I had a very basic question here. What does this omapclock do ? I know it can speed up the device but it will always be at the cost of something isnt it ? So whats the trade-off here.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] lolek5:
Hi to all, here goes my First post :)

Greetings from sunny Europe..

That be one..

As far as Omap. It does exactly to Wizard what overclocking front bus to CPU in PC.

Increases clock frequency that controls the cpu/ and possibly memory.

I am not programmer of this software (omap), but usually a several settings are connected together, like speed of cpu, memory, and possibly of some other subsystem like GPU (graphic card in wizard)

BTW Thanks to guys that made omap, great piece.. i am succesfully using it and clock of 240 is where i start ;)

My current machine(wizard) is SPV M3000 From Orange on latest official Qteq rom.

i have all kinds of observations about it, (both phone and rom) but for now i'll keep it to myself as they ALL (i guess) come from my craze od d/l stuff and installing on my wizard with no brains at all ;)

Thus far (getting back to tradeoffs and performance..)

O/C with omap is a necessity if u want to listen to high quality mp3 and be able to use anything else on wizard.

my experienc is that using pocket music (great mp3 player) with high bit rate mp3 heavy eq applied, completely freezes any action and reaction on wiz. and even turning down volume can take about 5 to 10 seconds after pressing touchscreen..

with omap applied cpu usage drops to around 70% and it behaves ok.

As far as uptime.. i have noticed no difference even with HEAVY overclock.

most battery consuming i think is: 1. WiFi, 2. loud music with high bitrate mp3 and built in speakers, 3. BT, or brightness turned on all the time(no screen saver) .. whatever the rest may be..

So if i am not mistaken cpu in wizard have 2 cores, one for DSP and phone processing, the other one for OS WM5. now i am thinking.. dynamic allocation of unused phone core to main processing power..for the os.?

Mmm 400 mhz for my wizard.. Me likin' it :):)

..that's as far as my dreams go..

Greetings to all and i hope this place stays as cool and essential for all of us.. 4evA :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] huangyz:
sure, i try 2.8.7.1WWE-Test for nearly 2weeks. I took no advantage of A2DP because i rarely listen mp3s using my qtek.

i have no impression on this test rom now, except that i had to reset at least once per day.

The camera's are connected to the WIFI network and can send e-mails when motion is detected. This works very well and suits their needs.

I set up a Gmail account just for the camera's. I added the new Gmail account to the gmail app of my parents and set a different notification sound to it so they can hear immediatly that a mail came in from the cameras. But, sometimes they miss it when they don't pay attention to their phones.

What I'm looking for is an app that is triggered when a certain mail comes in, or on a certain account and sets off some loud sounding alarm or something like that.
