[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PacoL250:
Well I got my AT&T version of the N1 on 3/29, and I added the $15/month plan while I was temporarily using my backup KRZR a day or two prior. Granted, this was in the middle of a billing cycle so we'll see.

Not sure if I could even go about adding the smartphone exclusion to my plan seeing as how my local AT&T store has nothing but corporate drone employees nowadays, so I doubt they'd be much help.

Regardless, I assume we don't have any idea as to exactly why some people haven't gotten the "dreaded text," yes?

Oh and as an FYI, I'm on an old Cingular plan that was a promotion: FamilyTalk Nation 850 Rollover. I had added the Messaging 200 plan a long time ago (perhaps a little over a year ago) as well.

We'll see how long this lasts...I'll update y'all back at the end of the billing cycle.

Still on the $30 Unlimited Data & Text dumbphone plan here.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superninjaquan:
update: I still haven't gotten that dreaded auto-upgrade text. Still using the 10$ dumbphone plan!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] INeedYourHelp:
For someone who has never dealt with cellphones before, how exactly do I sign up for the $15 plan?

So I buy the at&t nexus one, I then buy a sim card (are there any differences between att sim cards?), and then what do I do to sign up for $15 data plan ONLY (no voice)?

Any help appreicated.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j.bruha:
You won't be able to. The $15 data plan is an add on for voice plans. I believe their data ONLY plan is $40/month, but you should double check.

I would also recommend NOT mentioning you have a Nexus One or Android phone to make sure they don't force you into a smartphone data plan, because they will if you let them know.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
I've been using the 15 dollar data plan for over a month now with the nexus one. but I've been using the same data plan now for a few years with no changes to my account. just popped my sim into the nexus and off I went.

however it seems that ATT is currently in the process of adding the ATT version of nexus ones imei into their database. so far they only have the t-mobile version imei's in their database. so we could soon be forced to the 30 dollar plan. let's hope not.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PacoL250:
I've been in a similar boat and so far, I've been good; granted I have been eligible for an upgrade for years now and never did it through AT&T and I added the $15/month data plan while I was using my KRZR for a week before I got my N1. So I added the plan while I was in the middle of a billing cycle.

Just curious, how do you assume that AT&T is adding the IMEIs to their database? Don't manufacturers give their devices IMEIs out to carriers? Or is that not true?

Seeing as how there are several people here with even the T-Mobile version of the phone and still on the $15/month data plan, simply put, how does AT&T know?

I feel like they don't know exactly what phone you have. Heck, I had a KRZR for a year prior to them getting it on their service and my account didn't reflect them knowing what phone I have. In my parents' case right now, they know that both of them have a Samsung Solstice, but they don't know for me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
a few people over at howardforums (I'm a mod of the ATT sub forum) who work at ATT confirmed about the imei database being updated.

ironically a few people using the t-mobile version on ATT have had their account swept and forced the 30 dollar data plan onto their account. but nothing with the ATT version yet. but those numbers are supposedly being added. obviously I have no way to prove if thus person posted the facts...but it is what it is for now.

I too have not upgraded my account fire years now, and been using the 15 dollar plan I added years ago. who knows if this helps to remain under the radar so to speak. I'd like to think so.

A quick status update, but so far, so good. I haven't gotten that dreaded text from AT&T or anything.

Granted, like I have said, I have been eligible for an upgrade for several years now and have not been on contract either. My parents upgraded in December so their two lines have been renewed for 2 more years, but my line has not.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacka$$1:
Good to know man! Same situation here. Gone thru 3 billing cycles already and no dreaded text either. Consumed well over 6GB on each of those months too. Seems like N1 ATT-3G version is a non-issue for the "World's Fastest 3G". Cheers! :D

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zedmec:
was at a corporate at&t store today getting an iphone for my wife...sadly.

But did talk to the rep and he walked me over to the corner of the store away from his managers and said I should switch off the $30 data plan and go to the $15 data plan because their system doesn't know what this phone is and they wouldn't know any better. Changed the plan online when i got back home...so far so good.

Do they limit the speed of the T-Zones plans? I'm on AT&T so I don't know :).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audiobastard:
People have been asking this question for years and always some people start talking about updated emei databases and all that. 15 dollar plan is most likely going to be around for a long time, just don't be an idiot and go around telling people what you're doing.

I have had this plan for about 6 yrs.. and I barely ever used data with my past phones.. I hope they don't switch this..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluehaze:
Nope it's the exact same as the $30 dollar one. I don't think you can get it anymore though, I think the cheapest now is 14.99 a month? Not sure.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkjedi:
I was actually able to get them to drop me down to the messaging and data unlimited plan for $30 on Saturday, giving them my Nexus' IMEI number. I have yet to receive their text.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacka$$1:
Not sure if it's a good idea to give them your IMEI. I figured the less they update their IMEI database the better.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacka$$1:
Well, here it comes! Changes to AT&T's data plan will be in full swing come June 7th. I suspect this will coincide with Apple's announcement of the new 4th Gen iPhone.

http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/02/...-changes-to-data-plans-iphone-tethering-comi/

For those with no data plans yet (seriously...who are you?), sign up now for the $30, $15, or $10 unlimited data plans while they're still available. You will be grandfathered in after the June 7th data plan changes become active.

For those worried about whether or not you'll be able to keep your current data plans (dumb or smartphones), worry not:

Its just a matter of time before they start auto upgrading att N1's to the $30 plan like they did for the T-mo N1 users...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacka$$1:
Riiiiiiight...you know what they say, "If I get a nickel for every time I hear that...." blah blah blah. Statements like these are speculation at best and shouldn't be even worth worrying about until it actually DOES happen. ATT themselves said that 98% of their users fall under the sub-2GB category. So why bother putting the effort into getting the other 2% (like myself) to comply. Not worth it to ATT's eyes when they're getting the brunt of their revenue with the other 98% (flock of gullible sheep in their eyes).

So until then, enjoy hogging away! :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDvr:
had $19.99 unlimited plan with AT&T for about 5 years now (at least). Had N1 since March. Of course, they never switched me.

When I had TP2, AT&T Rep clearly and openly told me that AT&T will NOT switch your data plan unless you're asking for it when signing a new contract. If they switched u over, then you did something wrong.

And yeah, btw. AT&T has no clue that you switched to N1. Just use the same sim card, I've been using this one for about 4 years now. This is not CDMA.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
Its a fact that they pushed thousands of the original nexus users to the $30 plan. I am one of those. Atleast 10 threads here about it.

That train has come down this track before, and will come again...just a matter of time.

T-Mobile never auto-switched me over to their $20 Android data plan (knocking on wood). I have been using T-Zones $5.99 unlimited data for over a year. I was smart and bought an unsubsidized N1 and registered an old Blackberry on their webpage. I will never tell them my N1's IMEI or bring it into their stores. They have no idea which phone I have and that's the way I'm keeping it. Plus, it's none of their business. :p
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
re-read my post (and the topic). I said ATT pushed t-mo nexus (t-mobile nexus) users to the higher plan.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
because the plan DOES exist still. they havent started the new data plans yet.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwkpete:
I got hit today too. They told me I have an Iphone and put me on the 30$ plan from 15... Bastages...

Funny thing is that the wife's Iphone didn't get it, they still think she has a v3 too....

Considering swapping the sim to the my old Razr, calling them back and seeing how long it lasts :)

I guess the options are:

-shop for another carrier and drop the Nexus (unless I go TMo)

-switch to their new 2GB plan which will keep me closer to the old costs... (use well under that amount anyway)

At least I get an 18% corporate discount now...
[General Questions and Answers] Kenshin7:
Hello everyone,

Just wanted to give my 2 cents worth....

I was wondering if it would at all be possible to fix the problem people were having with not being able to revert back to an earlier(or stock) version of their phone once rooted and up and running by doing the following:

(This is by no means technical but a theoretical suggestion [which I have not tried due to the fact that I do not own 2 phones] ):

If someone had access to two phones, say an HTC Eris (the phone I have)

One was rooted, running 2.1 and the other one was stock/unrooted.

Take both phones and hook both of them up to a computer via USB.

Since one phone is rooted, could you theoretically make a backup img using the secondary phone (stock one) as the source for it using the rooted phone creating a stock/unrooted img.

Then boot the rooted phone using the stock image unrooting it and restoring it to a "official" phone?

I apologize in advance for my lack of technical knowledge in the field but was hoping maybe this idea would help someone else and give them the (insert your lightbulb turning on sensation here) and go "Hey what if I did this and yada yada yada..."

what is your data connection set as?? epc.tmobile.com or wap.voicestream.com

i am on wap.voicestream.com (has been more consistent less issues) and could call my other number... sit on the call... even edit my data connection... and get on cnn.com and espn.com with no problem.
[HD2 General] chutio13:
how does one change the data info?
[HD2 General] bored2nite:
You go to the start menu, click on settings > then on connections then manage existing connections then click on whatever you have (T-mobile Data or something of the sort)...

then you click edit to actually open that connection, then you click next (nothing to edit on the first screen) and on the second screen thats where you will see the APN... and you change it accordingly.. in this case what I personally use is wap.voicestream.com

then click next, leave the 3 fields blank, and then click finish. and you are done.
[HD2 General] JonnoB:
You can use data while on voice but only when on a 3G type connection. If you drop to EDGE, you lose the data connection in favor of voice.
[HD2 General] baymon:
I think the problem is on how weak tmo's 3G coverage right now. I barely can get stable 3G signal inside my apartment. I've actually noticed some sweet spots inside my room where I can get 3G signal, and those are the only places I can get it. Move the phone away from that spot, and welcome to EDGE again.

But good news is, I'm starting to get HSPA here, but barely and rarely. So hopefully Tmo is working hard to expand their 3G coverage now.
[HD2 General] chaoscentral:
Strangely enough I think they might have upped their signal here today lol. I used to only get EDGE in my bedroom, and my house in general, but now I'm getting full HSPA :)

And I am 100% certain it's HSPA since I've seen my phone jump from "3G" to "H" and in my room now it stays 5 bars of "H"

I've just tried mixzing, seems like an amazing app, but doesn't enable all controls.

single (middle) click for play/pause

Is there nothing to get all controls? Or even to imitate the N1 headphones.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokey9000:
Nope, there's no standard for stereo headsets. With the addition of volume control, Apple added a microcontroller to the button pod to signal button presses. Some change they made along the way also broke the mic functionality. The original single-button headsets still work, as do compatible accessories. I'm using a Shure adapter with some short-cord earphones for the time being.

I plan to order a second set of HTC earphones and do a podectomy on my Apple IEMs. I figure I can desolder the Apple pod on the right channel cord and wire in the HTC and leave the left channel pads disconnected. As much as I'm down on Apple nowadays, I really like their dual driver IEMs, more than any others I've tried. I'll post info here if I'm successful.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokey9000:

Apple Dual Driver In-Ear headphones mic and play/pause button now work with the FroYo FRF50 ROM. Volume controls still don't work, but since the signaling for those is Apple proprietary I'm not holding my breath.

I do have a list of applications I need suggestions on though ... I'm used to the following on Windows Phoen so I need an Android variation ...

G-Alarm - A Comprehensive alarm application

G-Profile - easily change my profiles from night, work, home, etc, this would be great as a widget

Task Facade - A general task manager that will show all my running applications and let me close/switch

Wake On Text/Email/etc - As it says ... and stay awake until message has been read!

Lock Without using Power button - easy ...

That's about it for now :)
[Desire General] setspeed:
I know what you mean about the GMail app, if it's the same as in Android 1.6.. Ugly, flat and boring interface. Some customisation or nice animation wouldn't go amiss. I think the problem is that the Android team at Google don't really view the product UI as a whole, but instead as a load of separate modules that they can just chuck together. No time to make the GMail app look nicer for 2.1? No worries, just stick it out as it is. Media player still the worst/most basic there is? We'll worry about it another time, just stick it in, as is.

Depending on what you've come from, Android can seem amazing, or quite basic in it's vanilla form. I realise the intention is for manufacturers to add their own custom touches to the OS, like HTC have with Sense, and Motorola have with MOTOBlur. But really I think Google should be applying a bit more spit and polish to it's own core apps - the ones that come installed on all/most Android phones, and won't be messed with by handset manufacturers.

By this I mean GMail, Maps, Market, Browser, Gallery etc. Some of these are pretty good efforts (Browser), while others leave a lot to be desired compared to those found on other types of (non-Android) handsets.

I realise that they have to code for the lowest common denominator (low-end handsets) and not every handset can have a 1ghz Snapdragon in it, but I also feel that they are failing Android a little bit, by not ensuring the the latest hardware is taken advantage of in it's latest OS.

How hard would it be to tart up the GMail interface a little bit, while still keeping the same functionality? Not hard.

I know Android is about power and flexibility - don't like the Google way, then design or just install some other developers app instead. And that's great, but I really think there's something to be said for making sure your core experience is great, not just ok.

Disclaimer: I am basing this opinion on my experiences of Android 1.1, 1.5, 1.6 and 2.0 (2.0 admittedly is limited, since I do not own my own phone with Eclair yet, just flashed custom ROMs).

Feel free to flame away - I may flame myself when my Desire turns up by 1pm today, and I realise I'm tallking a load of BS when I'm presented the all singing, all dancing, beautifully animated new 2.1 apps from Google! But I doubt it... :-)

BTW, don't get me wrong - I love Android, and I would not consider buying any other type of phone!
