hmm, ok.

thanks for your help, I'm gonna go into an ATT store tomorrow to see if they can do anything. but I know what answer to expect now
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheChemist187:
They do not change your plan automatically.

I have had a HTC TILT, HTC FUZE, and am now with my HTC PURE.

I have the ATT data plan for 9.99 unlimited.

All I did was switch my sim to any ATT non PDA phone. Call att, have them add this feature. Then just slap on my sim on my HTC device.

That simple, have been doing it for years and even to my most recent bill I still have the 9.99 Media net plan.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chikoo:
Yes. They do. I have experienced this with the iphone. I put my sim into an iphone and my plan changed to iphone data plan. I had to call ATT, tell them that I was just checking it out, and got it changed back.

I had a LG-VU with the $9.99 data plan.

I upgraded to the HTC Pure. When the box arrived, the first thing I did was to open the phone and remove the new sim that they had inserted into the phone. I put my old sim from the LG-VU and fired up the phone.

It is 3 months now and my data plan is still $9.99.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgj2301:
I been having the $9.99 plan since july and I have the HTC pure. My plan is 4 years old though and I started with a razr.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] controlmachete:
If you have an ooooold plan that you got through an offer or whatever.....then you are ok....new plans from about three years and before....you want to theter (without the 60 dollar plan) get ready for a 2k plus bill. Been there years ago. Not worth it
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ServError:
after 6 months with the phone, you can cancel data and even have them put a data block

or so i've been told, but unlocking wont allow you to remove it, you're breaking the contract that got you the phone for cheap (or free in my case)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drag-On:
can some1 explain to me wtf this is all about?

If i have a, let's say a Tmobile contract (or any other, AT&T, Vodafone, etc) and i am using "x" phone with this contract....and i buy a new phone, which is different, then why am i not allowed to just change phones? coz that seems to be your guys problem, correct?

are u stuck on one phone for your whole contract? and if u change to, say a better phone, they up your contract price?!?!?!?!? that's HARD to swallow over here in europe... but is that the case?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheChemist187:
I have spent countless hours of research here and at howard forums. They will auto switch your plan if you have a Nexus one or a ATT branded smartphone. You would have to get a T-Mobile branded smartphone butt you will loose 3G or get a unbranded smartphone imported which will cost you a lot of mulah. I was looking at getting at HD2 form Australia so I can get the 850 band (3G) but that was selling for 600-800 bucks.

Good luck with your quest young one.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jromeo350:
try this... keep an old basic phone lying around and IF they ever DO switch it, call AT&T (USING THE OLDER PHONE!!!) and tell them you borrowed a friends phone for a few weeks while yours was broken and to verify that you are no longer using a "smartphone" and to drop it back down to $10/mo. They should only do random sweeps and this might happen once every few months... Works for me!! :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Redlime:
i tried doing the switch back to a non smart phone technique, yet everyday i would get a text saying att has upped my plan to a smart phone one, so now im out 20 bucks :( , same with iphone, although you could unlock it to get a 10 dollar plan ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisguymo:
I guess I'm lucky then. When I called to get internet for my At&t 8525 (about 3 years ago) I asked for an unlimited plan. The representative added a $15 plan. Since then, I've upgraded to a Tilt and now I'm on a HTC Pure with the same plan.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Born_Immaculate88:
Even with an unlocked iPhone they are still able to add the $30 plan, that is exactly what they did to me. It has to do with the ATT sim card not the phone itself.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chikoo:
Update:

ATT has now automatically switched me to the $30 data plan, for my convenience (ha!).

I took out the SIM and put it in another "feature" phone and I was given the option to use the $9.99 plan.

I selected that and switched the SIM back to the ATT Pure.

Guess what?

For my "convenience", ATT switched me back to the $30 data plan.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TraceG:
Hmm..

Okay, since I'm a long time lurker and not a regular poster take this as you will:

I have 4 phones/SIM's on my current plan and I have to say most of you are only 1/2 right. The SIM is only 1/2 the problem, the other is the phone itself. Using my son's VERY limited SIM (no data/internet) and putting it into a Solstice, which requires a data plan, the plan will auto update to show data. Move it back and I have to downgrade it again using the "had a temporary problem" excuse. If you have never used the AT&T site to check your account, try it some time. Not only does it tell you minutes, data usage etc. it will list EXACTLY what phone a certain SIM is in, with a pretty lil' picture beside the SIM #. So the IESN is being updated regularly to the network. This includes an UNLOCKED Samsung T619 from T-Mobile so the network picks up phones they don't even carry/sell, just to resolve that question too. (I have about 12 phones from various urges to upgrade and swap around depending on what I am doing.) If the network detects a smartphone or messaging phone IESN used with an unqualified SIM, your plan WILL get modified sooner or later.

Drag-On: You can swap phones here in US, it's just a matter of the REQUIREMENTS for the phone you are swapping to. I.E. Going from a basic level phone like Moto 330M, Razr etc. to a "smartphone" like Pure, IPhone, Droid Eris. Not too sure about European plans, but ours require a higher data usage plan for the phones that "do more". AT&T is the worst of the lot in my opinion because they tap you for $30/month Smartphone data plan THEN pop you for another $30 if you want to tether the phone to a laptop/PC to use the same data/internet. Verizon doesn't do this on MOST of their phones like Droid Eris, dunno about T-Mobile. Stock/basic unlimited data plans are either $9.99 or $15 depending on your base contract plan. Most people don't like it so they look for ways around it, not that I blame them, it's just hard to avoid it nowadays with the companies improving their tech to stop them from doing just that.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
To tether, just disable proxy server.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pop45398:
It works for me

I have been using two HTC HD2s (T-Mobile) on my AT&T business plan for five months now and am only being charged $10/mo each for unlimited MediaNet. When I got these phones I first called AT&T and added unlimited MediaNet to my existing Moto RAZRs then switched the SIM cards to the HD2s. There may be a difference because these phones are not from AT&T. I will find out soon after my friend gets her AT&T HTC Pure tomorrow and I set it up for her the following day.

I can also use my SIMs in my AT&T Quicksilver USB data card so I can get 3G speed on my netbook/laptops rather than 2G when tethered to one of my phones. To do so required using the OEM Globetrotter Connect software (which caused excessive CPU usage on my netbook but not laptops) or using AT&T Connection Manager version 6.09 or earlier, and disabling the proxy server.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjcarter3:
If any of you are more interested in cheap/unlimited data with AT&T than your overall smartphone experience, pick up a Nokia smartphone - 5800XM, N97 or the new N8 - all work with AT&T 3G. I've been hammering AT&T's data network for over a year now (2-3GB/mo usually) with my N97 and have an app (Joikuspot) that turns my wifi connection into an ad-hoc 3G access point. Of course, this means using Symbian, which isn't as slick or aesthetically pleasing as Android or iOS, but the upshot is that they pack in a lot of other features: more storage (my N97 is expandable to 64GB), FM radio/transmitter, usually beefier camera with Carl Zeiss optics, and awesome Ovi Maps, making your phone a true global turn by turn satnav. I stuffed maps of the entire world onto my phone just because I have so much room to spare.

I have messed around with Android, and I have to say - I love it. I got one day out of a Nexus One before AT&T "upgraded" me from my $15 unlimited dumbphone plan to a $25 2GB limted smartphone plan. The N1 I was using was the T-mobile 3G version too, so I was paying more for slower Internet - not worth it, IMHO. So, I sold the phone and kept the N97.

My hope is that Android will some day be so ubiquitous that it will be impossible for AT&T to stay current with most of the smartphone manufacturer IMEI's of the world. However, that may also spell the end of unbranded phone unlimited media net data plans also. :(

Update

My friend's AT&T HTC Pure came in and I used my AT&T sim in it while setting it up with apps. Nothing happened on my account but as soon as I put her sim in there was a nice text from AT&T saying for her convenience she was being upgraded to a smartphone plan. I'd forgotten to disable the proxy server so within a few minutes I did that. When she checked her account there were these notes:

1Data was activated on 11/19/2010 and is prorated.

2Data was deactivated on 11/19/2010 and is prorated.

3Messaging was deactivated on 11/19/2010 and is prorated.

4Messaging was activated on 11/19/2010 and is prorated.

The 19th was the day I gave her her phone and put her sim in it. There was no smartphone charge on her account or any additional charges beyond what she has been paying for. I'm wondering if disabling the proxy server was the key to the data being deactivated on her account - her phone can still connect to the internet and can be tethered to.

I find it bizarre that nothing showed up on my account, the only difference is that mine is a business account, hers personal. BTW, on my account, my T-Mobile HTC HD2s show as unrecognized devices with a shadow of a generic phone next to them... just wish I could get 3G on them.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] o0Nighthawk0o:
Here is what I did to get around the mandatory data plan.

I bought a new pure online from AT&T and it did not require the data plan at that time. However, after using the phone for a couple weeks I got the we activated your data plan text message.

I went to my local AT&T store and complained. The lady there then signed me up for a "pay as you go" data plan. I think that this 'fools' the system into thinking that I have a data plan.

Then, just to make sure I never accidentally hit AT&T's data network I changed my default data connection to 'My Work Network' in the advanced connection settings. I have been using my phone for almost a year now and no data plan.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mexigga:
I have not been charged a data plan but every now and again I find that "media net" is automatically connected...

I check the data usage and see that hardly any is used. I disabled ALL auto updates and also have a pay per use data plan.

SO far so good.

Hi all!

So I was wondering... We have great apps that can read QR codes, like Quickmark or i-nigma. But I'm pretty sure that there aren't any apps that can actually CREATE a QR Code from for example a text pasted in a simple textbox. I think this would be quite handy. For example for quick url link transfers from one phone to another for free. One phone wolud generate a QR code and show it on the screen, and the other would read it through its camera :) And maybe it wouldnt be so hard to do, because Ive seen somewhere a library for QR code generation for desktop .NET This would be great for phones with big screens, like the HD, HD2 or TP2

Hi guys,

I have a stock Magic (cupcake) with dxtop 2.5.5 running on it... it works great and I love dxtop but whenever the phone has been in standby for a while and I unlock it it seems dxtop is very unresponsive for the first couple of seconds to a point where it's really annoying

If I put the phone in standby and immediatly afterwards I unlock it again dxtop works fine

I used aHome before where I didn't have this issue.

I already tried the "disable persistent mode" but this doesn't change anything

I use Taskiller a lot so I normally don't have a lot of applications running in the background

Any thoughts?

Thx

With the whole back and forth regarding Hulu -- is there currently a way of viewing Hulu on our phones? I see myvideo has about 4 Hulu shows.. but they use their server to transcode the flash...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] m4xx0rz:
Well, Hulu has said they are no longer going to support hulu on the mobile platform. So probably not. Then again, I read that a while back. If there is anyone with more information, they could probably help better.

I honestly think Hulu should just make a WinMo app, if they do decide to continue to support the mobile platform. I would pay for the app, if it were reasonably priced.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Dangerously:
Doing a quick search for this error I found 20+ threads with the answer to your problem. I would be nice and give you the solution but it does not look like you even tried searching.

Some tips:

1. this issue does not only occur on your device but others too (ie. search all threads not just the Rhodium thread).

2. never state that you are new to a device or topic, and explain what you have done to help find or try to resolve your issue. Other wise you will not be treated with proper respect and will never get a good answer.

There are more tips than just the above two for any forum (not just this one) that will get your answers in no time at all.

At which point in the HardSPL process did this happen?

1) download newest Hard-SPL package from Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3_185HSPL.zip attachment, extract to an empty folder.

2) you must Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile!!! I mean it has to be connected to activesync or WMDC via USB cable. and it must not be in Flight/Airplane mode (i.e. radio should be on).

3) NEW: internet access is required as the program checks online for updates and license.

4) run Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3.exe on PC, make sure it's launched from a local drive (not through network drive, etc.). XP requires Admin logon, and Vista/Windows 7 will automatically prompt to allow it to run in Admin mode, allow it please. if you get an antivirus warning, please ignore it, it contains no harmful code (just used a packer to compress it).

5) follow steps as prompted in the Hard-SPL program. if this is the first run of Hard-SPL on a device after hard reset, you must select Automatic flash mode (the first button in Welcome screen).

notes: you should usually go for Automatic flash mode; the Manual flash option is only to be used as noted below and you must only attempt the Manual mode option if Automatic flash mode or SSPL-Manual.exe already put device in black screen. any other errors triggered while running in Autoflash mode will have to be fixed as instructed in the error message.

6) it will ask you to wait while it prepares for the flashing, press OK.

7) now it should go through without any error messages, if one does pop up, then please follow the instructions included in the error text. if no specific instruction is shown, then ask for help in the thread, but this should not ever occur (as this means a really fatal error occurred).

8) at this point the device did hopefully went to a black screen (reporting version as 1.10.C-SSPL only using "info 7" in mtty), this is the SSPL version, which is temporary. then RUU will instantly launch.

9) some notes: when RUU says it will hard reset, do not worry, it is not going to do that. also when it says the flash will take 10 minutes, ignore that, it will only take a minute or so.

10) SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.

11) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 0.85.OliNex, which is the Hard-SPL version.

Update Error on second TP2

I have two Verizon HTC TP2. One of them i have flashed the rom multiple times from my computer. It currently has the November 27 release of the Energy rom.

I went to go put that same Energy Rom on the other phone and every time i try to flash it i get a 262 error.

It is correctly connected to active sync. The phone that won't flash currently has the standard Windows Mobile 6.1 installed on it that came from Verizon.

I have also tried different roms as well none of them seem to work, it goes through the process of trying to upgrade, gets past the 4 colored screen to the progress bar and at 0% it throws the 262 error.

I have tried to run RhodiumW-HardSPL_V1_10R3 on my computer multiple times but i don't think the problem is with my computer given that i can flash my other phone easily.

If anyone has any suggestions or tips that would be great. I am pounding my head against a wall on this one.

A couple other things to note: radio is on when i try to flash, i have left the sim card in, i have also tried adjusting the connection settings on the phone for active sync such as turning off "enable faster data synchronization" with no luck.

You need to post in the HardSPL thread on this ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] Russ741:
Please post your question on the Hard-SPL thread.

However, what you have been told is correct, you can only flash one phone per Hard-SPL license. If you want to flash more than one, you have to contact the author OliNex and get a second license. Sending him a donation will not automatically get it for you.

Not sure if this is the right place but I was curious about creating a Profile or something to turn off notifications (text msg, email, tasks...) except for the phone? For example on my Blackberry you have a profile to mute all sounds except a phone call, like a night profile. Does this make sense? I know I can manually do this but I would like to click something to change the profile.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Mesquire:
There is no built-in sounds profiles support so you'll need to install an application to give you the functionality. I don't use one but see if PocketZenPhone gives you what you want.

Actually, I tried PZP years ago on my MDA (Wizard), but had forgotten about it. I was missing the ability to quickly/one-button configure ring-tone, volume, etc for different situations (e.g., in the car, at my office desk, at home) -- an ability which is standard on dumb-phones, so I'm glad someone brought this up.

This is an old program, but it seems to be compatible with my WM6.5.3 Manila 2.5 OS -- finger-friendly, even.
