Well, you can always use roaming if necessary. (if you do hit a t-mobile dead spot though I doubt AT&T has that much better service) I have never been charged for data roaming with t-mobile yet.

The even more plus plans t-mobile has are good prices. Unlimited phone, text, and data for $80 is far less than other carriers. And trust me, 3g is much better than edge, so what if you don't do any data heavy usage, I can load a web site just as fast as cable internet on 3g on my N1. If the 3g doesn't cost you any extra I say use it (provided you do switch to t-mobile)

And to let others on here know, if you are in a contract with t-mobile, you can switch to the even more plus plans, but it does not cancel your contract. You just can not sign up as a new customer and get a cheaper price on a phone and use the EM+ plans. (you can always sign up for a contract and then switch plans after a month or 2, I started my contract before the EM plans existed though back last summer) The EM+ plans can have unlimited data for up to 2 phones (maybe 3) and the type of phone does not matter unless you have more than that number of phones on the plan, then the cost per extra line for unlimited data is device dependent (IE more for smart phones) So if they tell you it costs more to have a smart phone on their new EM and EM+ plans tell them to stick it and talk to another Rep. Its the same price for all phones, but they do need to know what phone because there is a system device check. My G1 did not work after I switched to a EM+ plan online, but a quick call to t-mobile fixed that.
[Nexus One General] gs2020:
att and tmobile don't charge by whether or not you have an edge or 3g capable device but more so by what kind of bandwith it requires and functionality of email and messaging functions as mentioned before. If the phone automatically renders every webpage into a mobile version then likely you can get away with the lower data plan, but obvioulsy an n1 doesn't fit into this category.

Also, ATT doesn't have much better coverage then Tmobile by any means. In fact they are about close to the same with the one thing making the difference which is att's 3g network is larger while tmobile's 3g network is faster (ATT is capable of being faster then tmobile but the number of iphones on the network has really limited the speeds provided to the customers). As far as having service for making calls and messaging, they are almost identical in coverage as att roams off of tmobile and tmobile roams off of att so coverage for those types of things are a mute point. Every provider, and I mean EVERY provider is going to have their dead spots and maybe a dead spot for tmobile is where your at or maybe it's att, verizon, etc.

Working for both companies in the past the main difference is ATT is all about the "WOW" factor in which they push iphone commercials like crazy with apple and they do have the coolest most modern looking phones and rely on their years of reputation on the service side to take care of itself.

Tmobile takes more of a customer related approach where customer services are very friendly and cooperative, the rate plans are very appealing for customers, but they carry stripped down versions of devices other companies carry or get them 3 or 4 months after another provider has already had them. I was really hoping to see the N1 in tmobile stores because I felt that could change that aspect of their business strategy but no go... They are getting much better with the devices they are starting to carry from when I first started working there I will say that.

In the end pick the company that best suits your needs although since you have an N1 already it seems like a move to tmobile may be the best.... worst case scenario you try it for the 14 day period and if you don't like it go back to att, no harm no foul.
[Nexus One General] loriolus:
AT&T DOES have a much better 3G coverage. It's a fact and not an opinion.
[Nexus One General] ohgood:
assuming tmobile will cover YOUR area well enough:

1) ditch att.

2) get a NO CONTRACT tmo plan for about $69 / month

3) tell att exactly why you ditched them, and what it will take to win you back as a customer. they'll call and beg you back 20 minutes after you commit to the DROP SERVICE phone call.

then they'll call you back in 3-4 days begging you to reconsider, keep your old number, blah blah blah.

play the game, and ask for a super, someone that can authorize your using the phone as you are now, without more charges, for say, 12 months. use it if you can.

if it doesn't work, do #2 as stated. no contract, unlimited txt, data, and 1500 minutes a month. use google voice for when you're getting low on minutes.

we were in a similar pickle a while back, and found the service (connection/data/speech) to be much much better on tmo. the service (customer) was also much more pleasant. the service (in store customer) was very nice indeed. every time we've stopped for a question about a bill, or a question about xyz, they've offered screen protectors or something (even a mint) as a parting gift. good folks, very good personable service.

we'll stay with tmo a while. if/when things start to suck like ATT again, we'll shop around for a new NON CONTRACT ISP. all it is - is a dumb pipe, the people and connectivity are key for us.

just my experience. good luck sorting yours out :)
[Nexus One General] moto211:
Google Voice still uses standard calling minutes unless you use it conjunction with MyFaves or with Gizmo5 (a voip service that can do voip via the data connection but you can no longer sign up for due to it being acquired by google).
[Nexus One General] oklahomatulsa:
I only pay $19.99 for TMO unlimited Data on my N1. :D

..and $49.99 unlimited Talk ,Not too shaby.
[Nexus One General] britoso:
Nice.

Whats the plan called? is it still available? 2g/3g?

do you have a link?
[Nexus One General] oklahomatulsa:
Unlimited Loyalty, I think. Been with them since'07. Tmo use to charge $19.99 for blackberry data. So I just pulled the sim card out of my BB Storm and ..Bam 3G on my N1.
[Nexus One General] macdady678:
Well, I just got the dreaded text message this morning:

"Did you know a data plan is required for your Smartphone? Call 611 or visit at t.co m/smartphoneplans for details."

"Your Smartphone requires a data plan. For your convenience, we have added a minimum plan to your phone. Call 611 or go 2 at t.co m/smartphoneplans 4 info"

I currently pay $40 for voice, $15 for unlimited data, and $5 for 200 txt msgs. I just spent an hour on the phone with 2 customer reps and a manager. I argued many different points, the main one being that my data usage has not increased by any significant amount (I use wifi mainly for browsing). Their standard robot response is that "AT&T requires a smartphone plan"

When I realized I wasn't going to get anywhere, I requested that they either take an exception on the smartphone plan (since my phone isn't even supported by their carrier) or that they waive the ETF so that I can switch to a carrier that doesn't just arbitrarily add $$ to an existing service contract. No go... manager wouldn't budge on either item. They're saying that the phone I signed my contract with is what the service plan is tied to. Because I changed the contract by changing my phone, they are allowed to force this price increase on me without allowing my to waive the ETF since they didn't do anything wrong.

I understand most of their justifications, and understand why they want to charge extra for smartphones, but I just don't think it's RIGHT what they're doing.

I'm just extremely upset that they won't even let me out of my contract, and thus I'm stuck paying for a more expensive data plan (even though NOTHING has changed).

Do you guys have any suggestions on how I can get them to waive my ETF so I can switch to T-Mobile??
[Nexus One General] britoso:
log into att.com, and go to the manage features page for your phone. There you can remove the smartphone option and add back data-unlimited.

Its a temporary measure though.
[Nexus One General] ohgood:
pay the fee, switch to a no-contract carrier. what is it, $300 ? you'll feel so much better.

they lost a customer, by being jerks. let them feel the pain of you never paying another dime.

vote with your money, honey.
[Nexus One General] macdady678:
Thanks, I'm going to give this a try and we'll see how long before they automatically switch me back again. This could be a fun yet annoying game...

Also, I agree about switching carriers. However, I have a couple months left on my contract, so I'll be gone by then. I just wish they would have waived my ETF ($175) so that I could leave immediately, cause I don't even want to pay those f*ckers $30 more than I have to.

May sound cheap of me, but it's the principle of the matter. April can't come soon enough for me to switch to T-Mobile.
[Nexus One General] :
Um, that sounds like bull****, I'd look into that some more.
[Nexus One General] maktucali:
screw att!

att has a lot of "fine prints in their contracts" they tell you some but really its the opposite. a few years back we had a family plan with unlimited nights and weekends so knowing it was unlimited we use a lot of minutes during nights specially in the weekends. one day our bill came in the mail and it was around $4500 more or less. we called att and they said we reached a cap in minutes were they need to charge business class rates. what the **** what happened to the unlimited nights and weekends? sure enuf in the 'fine print' unlimited is limited to certain number of minutes i think 10000 for night and weekends and if reached then they charge you a arm and a leg. so watch out for att's fine prints they are scum bag leaches. but yeah we said screw you att! and moved to tmobile.

and yes i have the old 5.99tzones and i get 3g all day with my nexus

beats 25 dollars a month for android plan!

what i would like to know from a p4000 user is what is the best radio/rom version to use on my phone.

there are so many versions and none seem to be specifically for telus phones.

can you just pick the newest radio version and rom and flash away?

How is the wake up on sleep problem in this kernel?
[Touch HD Android Development] WinningDays:
No problem for me ;) It should be the same for you.
[Touch HD Android Development] sleepnow:
The same sleep problem. Put the phone into sleep mode and leave it in your pocket for 15 minutes and see.

There hasn't really been any notable progress as far as fixing what is broken on Blackstone (or any of the features that don't work like camera, bluetooth, etc.) since December.

If you've been following the notes on the zimage builds, you'll see how slow progress really is. Although I appreciate how difficult it is for those working it, I think they'll still be working on it long after we've upgraded to another a phone, and with what they're up against, I wouldn't hold my breath about getting new features to work.

Besides, HTC Bravo/Desire will be available in March... Snapdragon? new Sense UI? Yes please.
[Touch HD Android Development] WinningDays:
I've woken up my device about 500 times and this problem have appeared only 2 or 3 times.
[Touch HD Android Development] slaming:
to install this just download the zip and place it in your sd card then edit the starup and change zimage to the name of the zimage you are uing so in this case it will be zImage-20100215_000813 when its booting you will see the kernel script and it will say new image or something. hope this helps.

and dont forget don't unzip the other file inside the original zip just place it in the sd card normally.

[Touch HD Android Development] sleepnow:
Leave it charging over night in sleep mode, then try and wake it up. Doesn't work.

Although this is an overall good package, it suffers the same current bugs that have yet to be resolved. Every zimage build has had this problem since they added sleep functionality last month, and unfortunately its marked as a 'low priority' bug in the forum.

1) Wake up your phone by pressing the power button ;)

2) The file manager is called "ASTRO" and is one of the best.

3) Your device can't be detected as "storage mass" for the moment.

However, ADB works for some people.

Hi Guys!

Just want to share my experience.

I want to use android as my main os. With the wakeup problem I can not.

The thing I am trying out now is to use the "board-htcblackstone-panel.no_bkl_off=1" in the cmdline in startup.txt.

This way android does not go into deep sleep, only "sleep"

The downside is the battry time, but it seems to be acceptable.

If this works without wakeup problem, it can be a temporary fix until the sleep problem is solved.
