absolutely - T-Mobile package is great ! the data 'allowance' on unlimted for Android is 3GB ! nobody else gets close !!!

As you can see from my sig I use T-Mobile a lot - plus my daughter has a T-Mobile Tocca Lite.

This was just a bad T-Mobile experience .... oh and at the swapover of my tarrics they 'accidentally' tried to charge me an extra £80 for the month :eek:
[Desire General] mancuk29:
The 3 UK phones should be unlocked just check before you buy oh and u can only buy in store .. they were £349,99 no 3 crap on them totally unbranded
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
Somehow I manage to only use around 300MB on average which is suprising considering I have ActiveSync connected to exchange, RSS to multiple places, pop/smtp email, my own custom software constantly using the net, always plugging it into laptop when I am out an about etc

At work on our Vodafone contract they are only allowed 500MB so 3GB is alot.

And anyway I have exceeded 3GB once on T-mobile when I moved house and while waiting for our new internet was using that everynight and they did nothing about it.

And what kind of contracts do you people use with your T-Mobiles? How are the international calling rates? Do they have special offers like Vodafone do?
[Desire General] max_carpenter:
This is my contract:

£30 per month

24 Months

Free HTC Desire

600 Minutes

500 Texts

Unlimited internet Useage (with Fair Useage Policy as described above)

Then you can choose one of the following for free (and you can change between them every 30 days):

Unlimited Texts / Unlimited Calls to other T-mobile users / Unlimited calls to landlines / Euro 5 Pack* / EU and Australasia Pack** / USA and Canada Pack ***

* Make 17 Minutes of calls / Receive 39 Minutes of Calls or send 68 Texts from Europe

** Get 60 minutes of calls from the UK to these countries for mobiles or landlines

*** Get 120 minutes of calls from the UK to these countires for mobiles or landlines

Costs outside of plan:

Calls: 30p per min

Texts: 12p per msg

MMS: 20p per msg

Voicemail: 12p per min

0843, 0844, 0845, 0870, 0871, 0872: 40p per min

0808, 0800: From free to 40p per min

0500 10p per min

070 From 25p to 75p a minute

You can see their different prices plans here: http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/pay-monthly/htc-desire/mobile-tariffs/

There are cheaper ones and 18 month ones but you have to pay towards the phone. For instance an identical contract as above except 18 months instead of 24 you pay £380 for the phone. or stay on 24 months but get 900 minutes and pay £60 for the phone.

Hope this helps. I would personally really recommend T-Mobile been with them Years never had a major problem. Very friendly and helpful staff (except a small handful but just hang up on them and phone back to get someone else)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] easyrider0:
Hi,

Bet no one else is having the same problem.

I might post a pic later for clarification but ayway.

I got a TouchPRo2 in late march as a replacement for my touch pro that they were repairing butt due to water damage at their company it was a Total loss..

I could opt for money or a replacement, and they had a demo model of the TP2 which had 'slight user damage but they could not find it themselfs' .

When it came in, the device was perfect without scratches or dents.

The only thing i noticed was a very slight moving of the screen when pressing in the top left corner.

It has degenerated to a point where i saw dirt forming under the front camera lens, and i put a train ticket in between to remove the dirt, and noticed the screen without any effort is coming out for 50%.

I'm thinking the glue on the back of the screen is worn out/off by heat or something.

The problem is i don't even know if its supposed to be glued to the backside or not, and in what way? Obviously the company who i got it from is not replying to -mails now :P

Any suggestions?

I'll post pics later

Thanks!

Is there a way to enable global antialiasing or font antialiasing in Android? Text looks pretty rough on my new Samsung Galaxy S and I'm pretty sure that the hardware in this thing is more than capable of doing some AA.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] faraaz:
I am wondering the same thing, the HTC Wildfire has the same problem. "Cleartype" would be a very good solution. Maybe that in a next Android version it will be implented, because there are more phones coming with smaller resolutions, like the Xperia mini.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] F3niX:
Hi guys,

Today i have got a new firmware for my X10 mini.

it is 1.1.A.0.8

Lets hope it fixes the battery issue......

Just run PC companion and let it update.

Took very less time

BTW, will installing Helix launcher increase battery life?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dabulcke:
Hi tejagamer

Good news

I hope there will be a new firmware for the x10 mini pro as well :-D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] account1:
how do you know this firmware is newest?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] F3niX:
Just checked it.

its after the .38 firmware and they gave "Backup&restore" application as free and included a trial of "RollerCoaster"....

Just try it...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] account1:
there's no new firmware for my region :(

thanks for the info though
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] dabulcke:
I have the mini pro as mentioned in my previous post and here in belgium the phone was release with that software, so no new software update here.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ayewhy:
Yeh those apps came in my mini pro when new.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lanege:
my mii is updated .... backup and roller coaster in menu, but i can`t find any other diference .... i`ll see other things like stability and batery life ...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] F3niX:
Yup.

Battery issues fixed.

It now charges to full 100% and battery backup is ok with HELIX..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] account1:
battery backup ?????:confused:
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Tuxxperia:
what about battery performance? is it better?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] benjymous:
It seems better on mine, but that's obviously not a scientific test, just a "feeling" :)

6 hours since unplugged, including half an hour browsing with wifi, and an hour of music playing, the rest of the time the screen off, but checking email every hour over 3g, and the battery is at 78%
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] F3niX:
^^I kept it idle for 11hrs and battery went down to 89%..

That was over night and it was at 98% earlier.......

Used it alot that day(2-3Hrs music + 1hr video + 15 min calls) and by n8 at 8 it was at 33%......

I felt it ok..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] heinz_pt:
No update available for my region. :S
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] F3niX:
Ok.

Now i found out one more thing.....

Never let the battery run down completely....

If you do so then your battery life decreases.

Also don't frequently switch off and on the handset.

DO so only once a week or so

The update is not an update to Android 2.1, sp you will still have version 1.6 of Android. The update to android 2.1 is now announced in Q3.

The update here is an new build, 1.1.A.0.8. I got my yesterday (Norway).

I updated this "by the air". No problems
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Contrarian:
Apart from the name (1.6 donut) your x10 mini already has most (if not all) of the features from eclair.

Unless it includes some type of support for Adobe Flash (which is unlikely given the hardware) I won't even bother with 2.1.

How hard is it to put flash lite 4 on a friggin phone.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ..::Viny::..:
Updated :)

New build, 1.1.A.0.8 came over OTA

New backup and restore app came along with, this means OS upgrade is on the way :p It would like make you backups, do OS update and incase anything is lost, use the restore option get back your contents :)

Hi,

I have an E10a chinese mini and I debranded it with the E10i UK General firmware, and it worked perfect. But now the SEUS does not update my phone. There´s any way I can force the update, even with the original firmware? How can I download this new firmware and update my phone? I live in Brazil, by the way.

Many thanks.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Confused_Geek:
Does anyone know if the PC Companion will allow this update to go through on a phone that has been rooted? I'm in a little fix. My phone was purchased in Saudi Arabia and is being used in India. So just wondering. Maybe I can walk over to the Sony chaps here and pay them to do it for me.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Eseb0:
Yes, I was able to update it through SEUS on my rooted phone. It removed the root after, though, so you'll need to do it again.

Hello,

I have a roote x10 mini. Yesterday I've checked for new firmwares and there was one (about 8mb of data to be downloaded). I've tapped the continue and after the download and the reboot the phone starts and I get a message that it was unable to update the software. No other messages. Is there any way to know what happened ? I've retried and got the same error. actually I have firmware 1.0.A.1.38. The phone is the unbranded italian version. I removed some apps (edge, pebble, roadsync, neoreader) but nothing system related

Also the upgrade is not yet detected by the pc companion

TIA
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Chatbox:
I'm thinking of getting this amazing phone, but would like to find out what it's really like from you guys first before I make the purchase.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] widjaja74_us:
Well i loved it in the beginning, then after all the problems and issues such as lags, hangs, and GPS crap, i sold the phone. But since then I've been looking at other Android smart phones and none of them seem to be better currently.

So, I think i made the right choice by selling the phone (i sold it at a profit of US$100) now ....

then a few months later i will recheck if Samsung has fixed all these problems.. If they have, then i would repurchase the phone, and i'm sure at that time the price has dropped by quite a bit....

I just can't afford using a phone that gives all these problems at the moment.....

If samsung cannot fixe all these problems in the future then i'll choose something else....maybe 3 months from now there will be a pletora of good android smartphones....

Buying the phone right now would be unwise since you will be paying high price only to have to install this and that fixes and patches and hacks and what not in order to fix the all the bugs that samsung hasnt ironed out since launching the phone. Unless of course, that is your hobby....

But for me, if i had to do all these things with the phone, i wanna get paid by samsung.... not the other way around.....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] larryccf:
I've got the Tmobile USA Vibrant version. I don't think the problems that are being reported are as prevalent as people might think - I believe that folks that aren't having any problems are not bothering to come to these forums on the web, researching issues, so who you see reporting problems are folks that are having issues, looking for solutions

there's also a certain percentage that are researching tips, improvements, shortcuts or tweaks (which is why i'm on the web).

My vibrant's gps is actually showing incredible accuracy, better than my MyTouch 3g and than my 2 yr old garmin nuvi 680 indoors where neither would show any satellites and the vibrant does, and outside it's faster than the garmin nuvi in calculating / recalulating but i suspect the A-GPS plays a major part in that.

the signal "issue" is a prime example of folks imagining an issue where there isn't one (think about it, the signal bars are reporting signal strength on the weak side and then when you choke the phone in the "death grip" it further degrades the displayed signal strength, but phone calls for the most part aren't dropping. That death grip is like putting your phone inside a metal soup can, and then wondering why signal dropped. Mine will show the weak signal when i death grip it but is still pulling 3G (at increased download speeds over my MyTouch 3G/HTC Magic) in a weak Tmobile coverage area

I've got no lag issues - but i haven't downloaded but a few apps, about 10, no task killers, and i really haven't used any of the samsung apps, as folks are reporting those seem to invite lag

for what it's worth, I'm extremely happy with this phone's performance.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] navmanyeah:
I absolutely love mine. First smartphone, great GPS, good battery life, great apps, awesome screen, I can't put it down and I've had it for over a week.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
I think you're right in your assessment of new people coming to forums and what not. It's a biased sample for sure, personally, I was waiting to get on device where I actually had a reason to be here, this is it. So, while I didn't come to fix issues, I have learned a fair share and helped out a bit.

I'm upto 150+ apps showing in LauncherPro drawer, this includes some factory installed items and doesn't include all of my widgets (I keep two running at all times) and other things. My main lag only occurs during software installs, other than that everything else feels blazingly fast.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kcharng:
Really like this phone. After suffering the window mobile, this is definitely a great phone to have.

Its this or iphone. I have use iphone and I don't miss it one bit.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] HyBry:
I am in same boat the OP, I am close to getting it, but what I am hearing is a somewhat mixed bag. Really would love to heard the good and the bad about the phone.

So far the biggest gripes I have come across are lack of notification light (I would miss that), lag on the other hand fix makes it even faster :), lack of camera flash. But i really like what I have seen what the Hummingbird can do.. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
Here's a good write-up of "the good and the bad" http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=730131

The poll thus far seems fairly conclusive though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] OrionTC:
bottom line is that if you are prepared to do a little customising then it can be the best phone out there atm (and lets face it why go android if you dont want to customise? thats what the iphones for right?;)...)

its only going to get better too as time goes on.

JF3 firmware out of the box and you may run into a couple of problems.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] codemanat:
I own mine now for about 3 weeks and over all i heavy use it, my girl friend tells me that i touch my phone more often and tender then her which i think its an indicator of how much i love my Phone, even for native Xvid Support.

But of course there are thinks i really dont like at the Phone. I have much lags, but i also use much and diffarent kind of software at the same time. So maybe i have lesser lags if i dont use the phone like a Hardcore Home PC.

But there is one kind i think its an Knock Out Death Reason to not buy.the Phone before these Bug isnt fixed in an Newer Original Samsung FW.

The Timestamps of the Digital Camera are not written on File System layer. Of corse the are correctly written into EXIf and the digital image where named to the exact TimeStamp, but no attributes in the Fat are written. So if you organize your Pictures on a Nas, you can run into really big troubles.

But i hope thes issue will fixed in the next FW update.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Brantyr:
I'm loving mine, though it really did need to be rooted and the minfree* settings tweaked, the defaults are very bad - Samsung should be fixing this in the new firmware for all devices though. I have very few issues with the device and things I thought were potential problems before I bought it have turned out to be less so.

- Lack of search button/it's integration into the menu button is fine - I was worried because I used menu longpress to hide/show the keyboard a lot on my magic but no apps I'm using require this anymore since most android devices are keyboardless, this used to be fairly necessary when a lot of apps were developed on the G1. If you voice search with longpress of search on other devices a lot it could be an issue for you though.

- Plasticy feel/design of the back, it's nicer than it looks, feels solid despite being light and I'll be putting a resin case over it which disguises most of the horrible iphone 3G derived elements of the hardware anyway.

- Samsung customisation is actually quite nice once you've installed ADW launcher, I like the wifi/bt switches in the notification tray and the media player/in call controls that appear in there when those are active, it's a crying shame there's no widget for the media player though. Your tastes may differ but overall I think most of the customisations are good - with very noticeable exception of the homescreen.

* see here for an explanation, the default for EMPTY_APP and CONTENT_PROVIDER is some figure under 30MB, bump them up to 60 and 50 respectively and the phone runs brilliantly.
