[Moto Z3 Play Questions & Answers] speedee12:
So not really sure where to put this.

I want to use a z3p on my Sprint service, but I see that Tmo sent out notices today that phones need to be upgraded before new year. CS is less than helpful as they just want to sell new phones. I currently am using an old beater, but wanted to put my z3 on my plan. I do not want to fully move over to TMO as I have a SWAC plan and do not want to lose that. So I think I will have TNX Sim card. I read one post where a guy said he had a Tmo card in his z4 and still has his old Sprint plan, but does that work on the z3?

Also can we use a phone w custom FW to use Volte on Sprint? Will that be a thing come 1/1/22?

Tmo coverage as of two weeks ago on a S20fe was non existent in my location, so I really dont want Tmo, but they are forcing my hand.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jimbogreen:
Hi,

So I was hoping somebody could confirm my thinking - if I get a 2TB google one account, that gives you 10% in store credit for any purchases made in the Google store. I realise I'll need to have the Google one for two months to get the credit, but even with the $7.99 a month, if the Pixel 6 Pro costs circa $1000 thats still a healthy credit after costs.

Am I missing anything or onto something?!

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rav101:
I'm just looking into this now based on this thread. It seems to be capped to Google store credit rather than discount or actual cash back but that's still a pretty dam good deal if you're in the Google ecosystem!

If it pans out then the 2tb storage would pretty much be paid for a year by the Pixel 6 Pro.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Topse:
that's exactly why I signed a 2TB contract.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] biTToe:
... then next year you are ~$100 in the hole, and two years late you are $200 in the hole.

If you really need that much storage you'd be better served to buy a $200 external SSD that you won't keep paying on every year. After two years you'd be in the same place money-wise, and three years later you'd be $100 ahead of the game... So, when you buy the Pixel 8, while you won't get the discount, you'll already have the storage for "free"

IMHO

☼ƒ☼
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rav101:
You could buy the 2tb storage plan for a year to get the 10% discount. In terms of getting buying the Pixel 6 Pro, you're getting the discount which pays for the 2tb so in essence you get the 2tb storage for free.

It also depends if you're on an annual upgrade cycle because could you not use the 10% discount each year for each phone so again essentially getting it for free if you were going to buy a pixel phone each year anyway.

Also doesn't factor in if you're buying other Google products which also gets you discount on (if I've understood the offer correctly).

I already have a 2tb lifetime subscription on pcloud so this isn't about wanting or needing the storage. It's about making the best of whatever is on offer and available to us.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] biTToe:
If you already have 2TB of storage, and you don't really "need" an additional 2TB (and therefor are likely not to use...), then there is really no net gain (or loss I suppose, as long as you cancel after the year).

Anything else you may buy on the google store isn't going to give you much in the way of savings, as nothing else is really that expensive.

I'm not knocking your choice, and I don't pretend to know your needs: I just like playing devils advocate, since you asked.

[General Questions and Answers] xposeme:
Like the title asks, are there any Rootless Xposed Frameworks so I can change my Device ID?

Thank you. 🙏
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
To change a device's ANDROID_ID ( falsely always called Device ID ) a XPosed module isn't needed, you can achieve this by 3rd-party apps like

Device ID Changer APK Download for Android - AndroidFreeware

Download Device ID Changer 2.2.2-free apk, a free Android mobile app.

www.androidfreeware.net
[General Questions and Answers] xposeme:
Is it not true that that APK requires rooting? I am looking for a way to change my Device ID (or Android ID) without rooting.
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 1890170:
AFAIK the mentioned app asks you for root permission.
[General Questions and Answers] dedq:
No without root. You can maybe use AppCloner to modify the application itself but it requires root too!
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm60:
My Tab S2 is having problems recognising SD cards. At first it would read folders and files, but not write to them. Now it won't detect any SD card that I insert (I've tried 3 different cards). I've tried rebooting, removing and reinserting the card. Sometimes after a reboot it will detect a card for a couple of minutes, and I can read the folders on it, but then the card will disappear again.

Is this a known issue?

Edit: I just managed to view a file on the SD card, and I noticed a notification saying "still ejecting SD card" , followed by "Sd card unexpectedly removed", and the card was gone again.

???
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Using good light and an optical aid examine the card contact of the Tab. Check for damage or contamination.

Clean with anhydrous isopropyl on both Tab contacts and cards using a microfiber cloth or cotton swab.

NEVER touch contact surfaces on cards.

Try again.

If no joy:

Clear Tab system cache.

Reformat card in the Tab before use.

If that doesn't work do a low level format using a 3rd party app then format again in the Tab.

Do not write to the card with other devices as this can cause corruption.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm60:
I've tried shining a light into the SD card slot but it's too narrow for me to see anything. The card almost never gets removed so I wouldn't expect much wear and tear.

I have no idea how to clear the system cache - only app caches. Do you mean booting into recovery mode and wiping the system partition (effectively wiping it?)
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm60:
OK I've now tried the following:

1. Low-level formatted two different SD cards using a utility downloaded from www.sdcard.org

2. Rebooted the Tab into recovery mode and wiped the cache partition

3. Wet a small folded-over piece of paper with isopropyl alcohol and tried to wipe the SD card contacts in the Tab.

I sometimes get a notification saying the SD card has been mounted, but this is followed a few seconds later by another notification saying that it has been unexpectedly removed. This applies to both of the SD cards that I've tried.

???
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
You need to be creative. Try sunlight or other single point light source plus magnification.

Clear system cache.
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itm60:
That procedure is exactly the one that I followed to wipe the cache partition.

Using a magnifier plus light source the contacts look pretty clean - see photo below.

Is there any point in trying a factory reset, or does this look like a hardware failure?

View attachment 5422257
[Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
I can't make heads or tails of that.

A hardware failure is unlikely.

The problem with a factory reset is you never find the root cause, so it can reoccur.

Resets are best used for rootkits and such, after a major firmware upgrade and to correct damage caused by poorly coded apps.

Do some Google searches and play with it a bit more before you pull the reset trigger. I always track down my gremlins... eventually🤣

[G1 General] dagentooboy:
Ok... so I have heard that IM counts as a text message but to me that doesn't make sense because that is internet and part of the data package. With IM clients on my tilt it just went thru the internet and never charged me as a text message. Does anyone know how that will work?
[G1 General] rantrav:
Yeah the only bad thing about this phone so far is the messaging and data.....weird to pay so much when ive only been paying 20 for data since 04
[G1 General] dagentooboy:
exactly... and if you look we are basically paying for the $20 internet + the $4.99 for 400 text. So I guess it's fair if you get text but for someone like me that get's about 2 text messages a month I don't care about the 400 text.... just give me internet.
[G1 General] rantrav:
im wondering how this is going to change my plan.....i have 4 lines and unlimited txt and data so on.......it says that once i change it to the g1 stuff it will change my account.........so what does this mean exactly?????
[G1 General] beartard:
What everyone here and at tmonews have been saying is this:

Your shared voice plan won't change unless you choose to. When you add the G1, you add a G1 data plan...regardless. You'd add the lower-priced plan of the two available to yours and when you go over on SMS, it'll draw from your shared pool you already have. So your bill will probably go up an extra $25/month.
[G1 General] benjimen:
GoogleTalk does work as part of the data package, so it's 'unlimited'; the others will cost you a text message for each IM sent and received. I'm hoping MS will slap Google by launching a data based IM client. Until the G1, I didn't know Google had a chat client. I looked up a review on CNET that referred to it as the 'cheap motel room of chat software'. It's definitely basic, which doesn't really matter -- but -- no one uses it.

FYI -- GoogleTalk is somewhat integrated with AIM, however, on the G1 you won't be able to add AIM chat buddies to GoogleTalk -- you have to chat with them via the AIM buddy list, and pay (or use one of your 400 texts) to chat with them.

If you do a lot of non-GoogleTalk IM-ing, you're better off with the unlimted data/messaging plan.
[G1 General] statixchaos:
When i spoke to the G1 representatives (i spoke with 3 different ones) they said that the $25 plan has a certain function that the $20 plan doesnt this function is suppose to register your device to google with a gmail account. one of the reps clam it has to register through the 3G network, not the edge or gprs; and the 3G is available in the $25 and $35 plan.

but what i theorize is, if its possible to change android to wm then you can switch back to the $20 plan. otherwise, according to the 3 reps, tmobile is trying to create a plan just for the G1 for data and they said it would be priced around $20.
[G1 General] beartard:
But if you did that, it would defeat the purpose of getting a G1 in the first place. You'd have a cheaper data plan, but you'd have an OS that couldn't use all the hardware the phone has to its best abilities.
[G1 General] benjimen:
Something you'll also be getting along with your new G1: a new SIM card. It's required to access 3G service, and once initialized, will replace your exisiting one.

There's no 'function of the 3G' plan that relates to Gmail, however, it is a function of the G1 device -- you won't be able to initialize and use it when you first power it on without a Gmail address (or a hosted Google Apps login). 3G will work Gmail-free with any compatible device, if you have the $25/$35 service; Gmail is required only if you have a G1.
[G1 General] rantrav:
so we use our old sim to log in and upload contacts and then use new one???
[G1 General] dagentooboy:
that's another thing I wanted to know... and is the new sim special (more storage or different format) in any way or is it just a set of S/Ns that get 3G? What happens to people that aren't in a 3G area? How do I sync my old contacts to my google account?
[G1 General] Mr17:
to prepare for getting this device i connected my device to nuevasync and got all my calendars, contacts, etc synced with my google services. now when I get the device all i will need to do is enter in my gmail account info and all my old contacts/calendars will be there.
[G1 General] Tapple:
Getting the $20 data only plan is gonna be easy. I've done stuff like this allot with my MDA. If some feature i want isn't automatically avaible for my phone, i either temperaily slip my sim card into another phone and log back into my.t-mobile.com to switch features, or just click the "This isn't my phone" link at the top of the page and tell them it's really something else. Once the features are changed the way i like them, switch back to my real phone and the features stick the way i wanted them.

I really doubt the data with the $25 is any different then the $20 plan. Verizon did the same thing with smartphones requiring an unlimited data plan cause they didn't want people complaining the phone didn't work or getting huge data bills cause they used the internet without a plan. (i know t-mobile doesn't work that way, but...)
[G1 General] beartard:
I'd like some confirmation about this one. It's something no one else is talking about. I know the manual talks about a new SIM, but most T-Mobile phones ship with new SIM cards if you're a new customer. Others, if you buy in the store, they keep the SIM card that comes with the phone. Same goes for re-upping with a new phone online. They take the SIM out before shipment.
[G1 General] texasaggie1:
Did T-Mobile Raise Internet Rates?

To echo what everyone else said already... (I need to tell SOMEONE to keep from going crazy!)... T-mobiles Internet rates are the SAME as they have been for 10 years.... $20 a month. It is just with the G1 they are making you buy 400 texts or unlimited text and bundling it in. Sure ATT is $30 a month. Then you have to ADD another $15 for texts.

T-mobile still rocks everyone else.
[G1 General] jdoggraz:
This plan is not to bad but I do need to get the unlimited texting...
[G1 General] gospeed.racer:
Amen to that! Unless you were grandfathered in on some special rate plan, this new plan is exactly the same rates as you would be paying- so why is everyone so pi$$ed?! Still cheaper than anything else, and faster now. :)

(waits for someone to say "...but we cant tether!" LMAO)
[G1 General] rantrav:
WAIT! BUT WE CANT TETHER HAHAH...im not pissed i just wanna know how this will affect my plan that i already have...i have 4 lines with unlimited txt...i know that my data plan will switch over but...will this unlimited txt replace it for my whole plan or just this phone???? i guess i could call..but i am lazy and will wait to find out
[G1 General] mingkee:

[G1 General] ramkt8:
400 Text Messages.. Tethering

I Just think T-Mobile forgot the consider the customers who have family plan. Most people who have family plan do end up getting the unlimited Messaging plan.

So that 400 text messages are basically waste. or thats a way they are trying to extra money...

T-Mobile puts alot of effort into Customer Service. So i am sure they will fix that ust like they changed the 1Gb Cap for 3G

But for Tethering.. Just give it some time maybe a month or so.. I will assure someone will definetly create a app to make the phone work as a modem. Even they announced that in the conference...
[G1 General] punkzanyj:
To me, tethering is cheating. If you need a wireless laptop connection, then get a card and a data plan that's priced for a laptop. Tethering is the reason data plans are expensive, networks have slowdown issues, and 1GB caps are even considered in the first place. I have a feeling they've been looking the other way because most people don't know what phones can tether, most wouldn't be savvy enough to make it happen, and remember, T-Mo is just now getting 3G, they probably didn't have a big issue with tethering on EDGE.

But that's just me, I don't want tethering to make t-mo more expensive, or give me data caps.:eek:
[G1 General] mingkee:
tethering is supported with total internet; and G1 (with data card, CS confirmed it)

not everybody uses 3G as primary internet access, I use it as supplementary for laptop on mission or travel,where other connection is not available
[G1 General] waygeekierthanu:
So I just got the G1, and I had an MDA Vario. I have the 10 dollar unlimited family texting, and I had the unlimited data for 20.

The guy at the store made me go to the G1 data for 25 dollars.

I went home, logged into the tmobile website, removed the g1 data, added the 20 dollar plan back, and everything is working fine at 3g. Win!
[G1 General] waygeekierthanu:
Also, it is incorrect that you get a new sim, I am using the sim from my mda.
[G1 General] BlazinGTI:
alright just letting you guys know as I'm a tmobile guy, I managed to get the phone without having to add on the stupid 25 dollar plan. i got the 19.99 total internet and I have access to 3g and all that good stuff so don't get hustled try and talk to an authorized dealer instead of corporate cuz those guys will not give you the phone without their commission. or at the very least go onto mytmobile and revert yourself to the total internet plan and take that g1 thing off.
[G1 General] neva dinova:
BlazinGti is there any special settings?
[G1 General] donutman:
Speaking on the whole AIM thing, just wait for a third party IM client that connects through the internet. Something like slick for winmo.
[G1 General] blahzay_blah:
ive had 39.99 plan for 2 years wit the dash wit unlimited text for 14.99 and total internet for 20 now thats all adds up to the same as the g1 deal tmobile has on the g1 data plans so i dont know of any difference
[G1 General] demontefixo:
Took my trusty old MDA in, got a nice shiney black G1...

5)signed up for another 2 years...

6)walked out the door, everything works like a ... DREAM... (sorry)

[G1 General] dagentooboy:
yeah mine worked with the old sim card... although it did drop service once and I had to take it out and clean it and put it back...

[G1 General] thewingzman:
plans

im not sure if i understand this thread..

i used to have the tmo wing, and was paying the 19.99 unlim data and 4.99 for the 400 txt plan already. so it adds up to the same as the 25 g1 plan.

so whats the difference? for all of you that have the g1 plan, and are switching to the 19.99 plan, what about text? i understand for the people who have the family unlim txt plan, but what about the guys that dont.. isnt the g1 plan the same as any other plan for a smart phone?

can some 1 please fill me in..
[G1 General] b00bah:
Just wanted to echo that I am an existing customer and I didn't receive a new SIM with the packaged G1 via UPS. Also, my old SIM (between 2-3 years old) worked fine with the G1.

Incidentally, I've ordered 2 or 3 phones from t-mobile in the past by "upgrading" through them and was never supplied a new SIM.
[G1 General] foltz61:
I would insist on getting a new sim card but not have it activated. My daughter's went bad. T-mo tried to charge me $20 for a new one. Fortunately I had a few new ones laying around from previous upgrades.
[G1 General] brooklynite:
I am a bit confused:

1) EDGE Internet is $19.99 ($20)

2) 400 txx messaging is $5.99 ($6)

$20 + $6 Total $26

1) Internet and 400 txt on G1 is total of $25

So the bundle on G1 is FASTER (egde vs 3g) and $1 cheaper.

Am I getting in wrong here?
[G1 General] ranger7424:
On T-Mobile phones, the instant messaging apps have always used SMS for their send and receive methods. It sucks and bit me in the @$$ the first time I used them. I am hoping that there will be a true IM program introduced at some point, I know that there are some out for Linux, but they arent yet compatible with Android.
[G1 General] Yos025:
Except for google talk. that's the only one that works directly through google, without using messages
[G1 General] owensnw:
Yeah, I had the same thing, they gave me the $25 plan, and advise I would still have unlimited txt messages. They said that the $35 plan was used for single phone accounts.
[G1 General] goodwinm:
I've never been charged for a new sim card, and I've had to get one a couple times.
[G1 General] statixchaos:
$19.99 works on G1

i just reserved me G1 today (finally), and i did not subscribed to the $25 plan. instead i stuck with my old $20 plan, and it works perfectly; browser works, market works, street view works, i can make calls and gmail sync works. everything seems to work perfectly. i called tmobile and asked what was the difference between the 19.99 and 24.99. they said that the G1 plan allows market, gmail, street view and any andriod and google programs to work. when i mentioned that i had access to those they then said that that wasn't suppose to be possible and it may chance in the future. so the $20 plan does work on the G1 for now. i don't see why they should change it..

also I'm not sure if other G1s are capable of what i was capable of doing. when i first turned on my phone i hard reset it and loaded it in safe mode and created my gmail account through that. then i turned it back on in normal mode. I'm not sure if that made a difference to enabling the $20 plan.
[G1 General] punkzanyj:
Same here. I've bought 5 phones from T-Mobile over the years and none of them had a new SIM Card in them.

The only time I got a new SIM Card was when I moved to a different state and needed a new phone number. Apparently (or at least this was the case at the time) the SIM Cards are different for each region or state. When I moved to Illinois and got a Chicago #, they said I'd need an Illinois SIM Card. So I had to drop by one of the stores to pick it up. That was sometime in like 2001. Had the same SIM card ever since.
