if one would like to put this into perspective:

- DSL High Speed Pro - from AT&T Yahoo, with speeds of Up to 3.0 Mbps downstream and Up to 512 Kbps upstream for & 25

- Media Net/3G from AT&t wireless with speeds of Up to 760 ?! KBps downstream for $ 40.....

Now from the Infra-structure, which one is costs less for AT&T?! Wireless

Now from the content and traffic perspective, which one does more for you? Obviously the DSL. I have a PS3 and my kid does a lot of on-line. THAT IS CALLED LOTS a traffic....You can stream LOTS a stuff, and so on, and the traffic can get up into GBs a day...

So it seems that we have to pay a LOT more for a LOT less, right?!

Just these days, did you just see AT&T earnings numbers?! The growth in wireless revenues was driven in part by heavier use of data services like downloads and text messaging... GO FIGURE...

There is a name for this. It's called R I P O F F ..................
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] outphase:
That would be true, but the features are not the contracted portion of the plan. The voice plan is the part you contracted for.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] deviusdragger:
Ok, so lets clear some stuff up here. First off, the reason why you couldnt send messages no more was because of the wrong plan. Att is now doing sweeps and seeing what devices customers are using and what media plans they are on. They started doing this about 2 or 3 months ago. So as far as att knows the rep who sold you the phone put you on the right plan or atleast informed you about being on the pda plan, but you still decided to get the cheaper plan. Even if you say you didnt, its basically your word against att's. So either sell your phone or get on the right plan bro. Att is getting real strict now on what media plans are used. They have a team just especially for that. They weed out the customers using the wrong plans and switching them over to the right one. Also as far as the them not charging you the ETF because of the change of plan, first your using a PDA device that clearly states "pda package required". You werent on that so thats why they blocked all that until you get on the right package. So technically theyll charge you the ETF.

If you read your terms and conditions in that little book or contract it clearly states "we can change or drop anything without any notice at anytime". Trust me, att has their a$$ covered when it comes to stuff like this. So like i said bro either get on the right plan or sell your phone bro. Sucks that it has to be like that but many customers screwing att with the wrong has finally had its toll and now were seeing their iron fist come into play.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] monoeil:
Thanks all for the input and advice! So, can the tilt work with any other U.S. carrier besides T-mobile?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NuShrike:
It may help you to ask somebody more calm to talk to the at&t people on the phone for you.

Meantime, which US carriers are GSM/UMTS? You've answered it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Doug2873:
ya really, that last guy sounded like a total ATT wireless troll...btw i got media max and i have had no problems
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Imsaffor:
Haha. I called AT&T the other day and got caught with the same thing. Only funny thing is. the guy told me it was my choice to change or stay with the MEdiamax. he told me there wasn't a big differnet betweep the wap and the isp gateway. and said exactly, "I don't want to mess with anyone else's happiness" when I asked if he was going to make me switch.

lol. my happiness.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ~~Tito~~:
Well, I got the $35 dollar media max package and its unlimited data and text!! heaven :)! You never mention the phone, just say you want to change your current data plan to that one, with out mentioning any phone. It works.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] BBM-Lee:
yup, at&t just lowered the price on a lot of data plans last weekend... unlimited pda data for $29.99...

still dont see why ya should get it though, I like watching tv on my phone though MNet when i'm killing time!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NuShrike:
You know, it does look like they could've flipped you to the new $15/m Media Net Unlimited plan that doesn't include text.

Then to get text back, just add the 200 messages for $5/m and you got your Media Max 200 again for a penny more.

Darn, and I thought the new Media Max 200 was only going to be $15. Sneaky at&t. Sneaky.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] princeasi:
I've delt with this situation on 3 occasions, and was successful with them placing my gf plan back onto my account all 3 times. After the last time I got them to notate onto my account not to remove or change any features wothout the customers consent! ever since then, I've had no problems using my gf plan(19.99=unlimited data, 1500txt 150mms) with my tilt or previously owned 8525! And i call in and speak to service reps all the time! And I have the tilt imei placed onto my account!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] birdheh:
call and complain

I had an older wm2003 voq and was on that plan. I upgraded after talking and then they cut me off as it was not a PDA plan. I complained to customer service senior rep as the first one said nothing could be done and forced me to talk to tech support that said nothing could be done. They back doored me into the plan so that I could still get the unlimited net and not pay the higher fee. You just need to complain hard enough.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jon_k:
monoeil,

I'm stuck in a similar situation, but they're demanding $3,900 from me.

At the store when I purchased this phone 2 months ago, it apparently came with MEDIA MAX 200 bundle. I got home, logged in to the customer portal and I had been signed up for UNLIMITED MEDIA MAX 200 -- by the AT&T sales rep who sold me my phone and service.

Weary of what it includes, I immediately called AT&T and spoke with a rep named Jim. I asked jim if UNLIMITED MEDIAMAX is really unlimited. I told him I had my doubts. I asked "Can you do anything on the internet with your phone?" He said it sure can.

I started streaming shoutcast radio stations to my phone using it as a mobile radio with my BT headset. All day at work, while it was charging. Now I have an

$3,900

bill that they're claiming I went "over" an undisclosed amount of bandwidth. They do not disclose the amount of bandwidth (to prevent cheaters), but if you go over it -- they say they charge you 20/c per kilobyte.

I am not going to pay the bill. They mislead me. The AT&T salesman who sold me my phone and service misled me. The phone reps I confirmed my plan with misled me. The name of the plan is event meant to mislead! (Unlimited, huh?)

They told me they would cut me a deal at $1,500 to forget the incident. What a sham. I have paid my bill at the normal cost of $99 and will leave the remaining balance there. I won't pay it. If they want to send it to a collections agency fine. Let it hit my credit. I'll put a dispute in with the credit agency claiming fraud on AT&T's part. My credit can take a hit.

I pay for a variety of AT&T services.

* I've had AT&T telephone landline service for 20 years.

* I've had AT&T Business DSL for 7 years (Formally SBC)

* I've had AT&T U-VERSE Tv for a year.

In those services alone AT&T has earned at least the amount they are asking. Well, I'm on the fringe of canceling all of those services if they don't make things right, and yet they don't seem to care about my threats. Big business is great isn't it?

I've filed a complaint with the BBB and the FTC. We'll see what happens.

A coworker of mine is already in hot water with them for similar reasons, which I've posted on this board about as well.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jackleung:
If so, how much bandwidth do we get for this "unlimited" plan?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jon_k:
If you exceed an "undisclosed amount of data usage" then you get charged per kilobyte. They would not reveal what that threshold is, on the guise that "if it was published people could abuse their service plan, and quit using data right before the threshold we have."

The plan is only UNLIMITED to an extent, then you pay normal overages.

I used about 2.5 Gb that month. Most of this bandwidth was due to MobiTV (which came with my phone preinstalled, so I assume supported by AT&T) and using internet radio broadcasts, and heavy E-Mail usage. I also tethered once or twice that month.

I would exercise extreme caution to avoid being in my shoes. If you use it for an HTC plugin to pull your weather, no big deal. If you're streaming music and TV frequently you're bound to be caught sooner or later.

I'm sure they'll drop the charges as soon as they realize I am /not/ the cash cow they seek. If they don't, they'll lose a customer who's been with them in several markets for years - in addition to ANY possible future business. Ball is in their court.

FYI

There is only two ways they found out I had a tilt. (You would think they'd know from the start since I bought it at one of their own stores!)

1) I made a warranty claim recently

2) I filled out the "MY DEVICE" part under the user wireless portal to be the Tilt (when I was newly signed up, it said "Pick your device!")
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NuShrike:
Their new plans quote 5GB as the limit.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jackleung:
Thanks for the info. But I think they can figure out the device by the IMEI info. For example, I did not buy the Tilt from ATT but somehow my account page still show me using a Tilt (I did change it to other device before).

I know there is a tool for Wizard to change IMEI. But is there anything for our Tilt/Kaiser?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] monoeil:
Hi all,

I only used my tilt for HTC weather, internet news and email. Also, I called AT&T yesterday again about the situation with no success.

Further, the senior rep told me that the insurance plan that I also had on my account does not cover the tilt. I was paying $4.99 a month since I got the tilt in October 2007 and again no rep ever told me that the insurance does not cover the tilt. The rep stated the insurance does not cover the tilt because it is an expensive phone. So, if you have the insurance, stop paying for it.

I am going to file a complaint with BBB and FTC as well because AT&T advertises that they are the company we can "trust!" Yeah, right!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] redsrule2500:
Yes, please...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Doug2873:
Like someone said in another thread in here, do NOT say to AT&T "ive been a customer of yours for X number of years...they truly dont care because they have 20 millon+ subscribers in the US. The best way to deal with it is find a rep who is willing to help you out.
[Huawei P9 Questions & Answers] yannickjeh:
Hello,

Yesterday I unlocked and rooted my phone successfully, I then installed the super user app, and after I rebooted my phone it got stuck in a boot loop. It took me 6 hours to finally get it out of the boot loop, couldn't get my device in TWRP (only got in in TWRP mode twice but don't ask me how I did it). But now my phone is back up and running, but I noticed there we're some icons missing, like my calendar, huawei back and some other stuff. Also I can't install Huawei Back Up which I need to recover my backup to my phone. Now I've been trying again all day to fix this, looking all over the internet and digging through this forum for a solution but unfortunately I haven't found a fix.

I was hoping anyone could tell me how to fix this, and guide me a little.

Thanks! :laugh:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] discodestroyer10:
My first one was perfect but it had broken speaker. Then had to try another two to finally get acceptable one. Not perfect, it goes pink-ish on specific angle, but it's not that bad. I really suggest to buy those phones in store so you can check it and save yourself some time.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] RockyAJ:
this problem was addressed and fixed by an update as far as i know...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] kotaro_14:
It's a hardware problem, so it can't be fixed by software. All the update did was allow you to mess with the RGB sliders and it's only available in the "Adaptive Display" mode. This option doesn't help if your display has multiple different hues such as a top reddish hue and a bottom greenish hue. It also is in "Adaptive Display" mode which is the least colour accurate mode.

This is a well-documented issue, like anything AMOLED, there can be a lot of variation from panel to panel. You should be able to go to the retailer and swap it out.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] RockyAJ:
So it was just another"marketing stunt" by samsung.mine doesn't have it but reading about it when I first got my s8+,thought it was a software problem.thanks for the clarification

On my third S8+ due to pink hues on the display. My fourth should be delivered on Monday. Fingers crossed that it has a good screen and won't have to be exchanged.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] klisza1993:
In my opinion, this is ridiculus - cuz this phone costs really a lot of money and samsung dont give a **** about customers and samsungs problem with screen. Samsung is mocking to telling us that "update" will solve "your" Problem.

Im from Poland and here samsung store says "its a advantage of this PRODUCT"...... crapy telling :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] galaxyYtester:
My device has a pretty messed up display, to the point where the software controls that Samsung has added are just enough to solve the problem. I have the cool / warm slider all the way to the right (warm), because this cancels out the green tint a bit. From advanced settings I have the green slider at about 20%, the red slider at about 80%, and the blue slider at 100%.

And because this wasn't enough, the display has a warm glow at the edges. Thankfully, Samsung has a software solution for this, and it works by adding a cool tint at the edges to counter-act the warm tint. But this solution isn't perfect, as the warm tint disappears when the display is looked at in an angle, and the blue software-added tint becomes visible.

I haven't returned my device because the problem is fully solvable through software, although I am a bit disappointed that a phone that cost over $900 has problems that the user has to put effort in to solve.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] harryo604:
Had to go through 4 phones from my carrier before getting a perfect screen even tilting the phone I have no red and in any display mode no red or pink at all... there should not be a bandaid fix for a 900$ phone... having to adjust settings is gonna hurt resale value also
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] pieces of cake:
It's not "fully" solvable through software. The appearance of the display changes when tilted, just as you said. I'm really hopeful that the replacement I receive via UPS tomorrow has a quality display. Even after playing with the advanced display settings on and off for days, I cannot get rid of the heavy pink tint at the bottom of my current (3rd) phone's display. It's a real shame.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] pieces of cake:
Well, my fourth device arrived today and it's basically as bad as all of the others. This time it has an even pink tint along every edge of the display. This is getting old. I really hope that this issue doesn't carry over to the Note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] B3501:
I went through 4 Nexus 6Ps to find one that had an even screen tone. This is a problem faced by all AMOLED screen. My S8+ isnt the best but it's not that bad either.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] pieces of cake:
I've had the Galaxy SIII, two S4's, S5, Note 4, two Note Edges, two Note 5's, S7, two S7 Edge's, three Note 7's, three Gear Fit2's, two Gear S3's and four S8+'s. All AMOLED displays.

The ONLY one with which I've had problems is the S8+. This is NOT a problem with ALL AMOLED displays. This is clearly a manufacturing defect with the S8, as can be evidenced by Samsung's OTA that adds "corrective" features to the advanced display settings. Please don't try to make excuses for them.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] B3501:
I agree it's bad and shouldn't be happening and my S8 screen isn't entirely uniform but as I said, the 6Ps I had and Nexus 6 was terrible for it too.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] chudnet10:

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kast09:
First of all, proof: http://imgur.com/a/vfRc8

As you can see whichever genius refurbished it has done a number on the phone, both CPU and GPU are overclocked. The phone overheats to 90+ celcius when attempting to play games and shuts down. The problem is that with the phone wasn't rooted when I bought it and it was still overclocked for some reason, I don't understand how. I installed custom ROM and kernel (Nameless and H Vitamin) and the problem still exists.

Can you please help me out here? I'm kind of a noob on customizing kernels to change clocking speed and I don't think the phone will last long with these settings. PLEASE help.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olex195:
It looks like H-vitamin kernel is not installed properly, it still runs on the previous, OCed one. Try flashing RamKernel or Emotion.

Can you please PM me the current kernel boot.img? You can get it by dd command or from recovery by backing up "boot" in TWRP.

The kernel is same one I'm using but your could be a newer version, would be very useful to me.

I wouldn't worry about heat, I'm running 3.07 GHz & 800MHz GPU /w disabled throttling, for using GearVR with PC. It gets so hot it hurts to touch, still no damage after 500+ hours on steamvr but the battery lost some capacity.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trex888:
Download this app link below.

Open it and give it root access.

From this you can change whatever you want.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bigeyes0x0.trickstermod

The default clock speen of cpu is (300 minimum)and (2649 maximum.)

Gpu clock speen should be minimum 200 and maximum 600
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kast09:
Thank you both very much, I installed RamKernel RC3 and I'll use trickstermod to further downclock the cpu because where I live is preeeetty hot and I worry about the phone. Olex you were right, for some reason H Vitamin wasn't installing properly, I'm uploading the boot backup as I write this and will PM it to you.

Btw even with the new kernel inside air conditioned room the idle temp is 40-45 Celcius. Is this normal?

Biggest troll ever, the Mi Mix is a well balanced phone with an AMAZING camera, only people like yourself do not know how to use a camera.

Think it's as easy as point and shoot?? When adjusting settings and taking photos manually, I must say the Mi Mix is one of the BEST cameras I have seen.

Many people simply think that by simply pointing and shooting you get amazing results. Wrong. With some knowledge of photography and using manual settings, the Mi Mix is capable of amazing photos.
