Even More Plus 500 Talk + Text + Web - $59.99 per month It's right there.
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
Doesn't matter to someone who needs to use it where they live and work, i.e NYC, where Sprint and Tmo have comparable coverage. To some, that $20/month savings matters. It's what's selling at my locale.
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
What in the world are you on about? If you can't navigate a website properly, then whose fault is that?

I'll help you out and point you to the link, http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/plans/...tb1&rateplan=Even-More-Plus-500-Talk-Text-Web

Nobody mentioned unlimited talk, i'm making a comparison to their 500 minute Even More Plus Plans.

Btw, Sprint's unlimited plan is $99 (+10 for Evo*?). Even using your comparison, Tmo's Even More Plus Unlimited plan is still $79.99, http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/plans/...teplan=Even-More-Plus-Unlimited-Talk-Text-Web, still less than Sprint (ofcourse, no phone subsidy, but that's what craigslist and ebay are for). This certainly beats Sprint's pricing. Sorry to burst your bubble.
[Epic 4G General] Itz a turtle:
Ya well simply put: T-mobile sucks Sprints ****. If your so in love with T-mobile get the hell off of a strictly Sprint related forum topic.
[Epic 4G General] Dman10:
I couldn't agree more.
[Epic 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Im sorry, im used to talking about the Everything Data 450 for $69.99 as it is unlimited calls to all cellular phone in the United States making the $99.99 plan worthless unless you run a small business through your cellphone... I personally don't call anything besides cell phones unless im ordering a pizza, and this goes for mostly everybody nowadays. By the way, that plan only works with select phones, try adding a HD2 to it, better yet, the Vibrant (which is Tmo's version of the Epic...) you can't, so you're right back to the price I said making Tmo more expensive.
[Epic 4G General] sponge66:
The 10.00 charge discussion is old.. I'll break it down for you.

1) Pay the 10.00 = get a Sprint 4g phone

2) Don't pay it = Stay with your Hero

Lets talk about something you can change!!
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
i tried tmo with a vibrant they're data is super fast and signal near max in town where i live and still maintains it in the boonies but in towns its zero!!!! in between its awesome but in towns zero
[Epic 4G General] Masterface7:
Hi, I am not sure what landline you are calling for over 7.5 hours a month but sprint is unlimited for all mobile phones. So for 10 bucks less than t. mobile and a subsidy on the phone you get almost the same thing and 4g speeds. If calling landlines in excess of 7.5 hours a month is important to you than by all means t mobile has the best pricing.

lets just look at the math

using russ mcguire's help and everything plus

sprint 59.99+10 a month

+250 for the epic

over a 2 year period

=$1930

If for some strange reason you spit at help from other people

69.99+10 a month

+250 for the epic

over a 2 year period

=$2170

If calling landlines in excess of 7.5 hours but only up to 16.7 hours

79.99+10 a month

+250 for the epic

over a 2 year period

=$2410

If you call landlines a whopping greater than 16.7 hours

99.99+10 a month

+250 for the epic

over a 2 year period

=2890

Now for T-mobile

79.99 a month (NO 4G)

+444(that is the cheapest buy it now price on ebay) for the Vibrant

over a 2 year period

=$2364

In Summary, if you are going to talk to somebody on a landline for over 7.5 hours a month you should go with tmo. Otherwise you can save 434 dollars over a 2 year period AND you get to use 4g and have a physical keyboard and you dont have to deal with the galaxy S lag. Sounds like a great deal to me.

disclaimer:All numbers were researched by me and calculated using extremely advanced algebra...
[Epic 4G General] InfDaMarvel:
Anyone can do elementary math. Once everyone start charging for 4g speeds with unlimited data this conversation will become completely irrelevant.

Id also like to mention there is a reason why tmobile is number 4 and not number 3. For the sake of simple math, 3 < 4

Hi I know there is an excellent app out which allows a little red square to appear on the screen when you get a notification.

I miss a notification led but was thinking could the lights for the touch buttonds be used instead, I was thinking used the menu button for email/text messages and the back button for missed calls as they kind of look like the right sort of symbols anyway, plus the screen wont need to be turned on at all ( the screen does produce some light when it is only a black background)

I will be taking tomorrow off work to attempt to learn android and possible make a simple live wallpaper but if anyone can point me in the right direction I may look at doing this also

BTW why should someone change ROM? What is the advantage of changing ROM? I'm really happy with my stock ROM. I have apllied Cookies Home Tab manilla Mod and I think my Phone is perfect now.

Is it really that bis advantage?

I mean i can add apps by myself, Themes and Designs can also be applied by myself.

Is the boost really that big of customs roms?
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
Look here.
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
Custom ROMs get rid of carrier bloatware and provides built-in eye-candy (so you don't have to do everything yourself). Chefs also (usually) add their own tweaks/speed boosts that really optimize performance.

I'm sure others can provide more examples of how a custom ROM benefits over a stock ROM.;)

Is there any alternative phone app to replace the stock phone app just like launcher application?

The stock phone app comes with i9000 will open back to the dial pad every time when I open it, instead of the last function being used, which will be more convenience if it could back to the same place like call log. Is there any way to change this behavior? I don't see there is any setting in the phone app.

Thanks.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] speedweed:
Can dialer one disable/remove missed calls notifications in the notifications bar when opening the dialer? (Like the default dialer does)

I tried to uncheck the settings (Dont clear missed call icon in notification settings), but it didnt work.

I have to manualy go into the notification bar and Delete the missed call each time.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] igniztion:
If you use LauncherPro you can longclick the Phone icon on the dock and choose the Phone app from the applications list. It will then open up properly, displaying the call log if that was the last tab you used on the phone app.

Seems to be a bug (or feature for all I know) in launcherpro that makes it always open on the dial pad
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rodh257:
can you get a new app for receiving calls? stock one sucks

I'm using firmware JM2 and the stock dialer defaults to whatever screen I was last using...just tested it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Meza1:
Can anyone confirm if their stock dialer just searches through first-names of contacts when they use the keypad to type a name?

In mine if I type the surname of a contact it is not found.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nightswim:
Yep, same here... i hate that btw.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rammkp:
If you change 'Order of display name' to 'Last Name First Name' in Contacts, dialer will search for last names.

Any reason why this continually decides to run even after I end the process in task manager? I do not use the widget and frankly would like to remove it all together. Pleas le help. Thanks.
[Vibrant General] Minker17:
Some services are restarted automatically and you can't stop it from happening. You shouldn't be killing tasks anyway.
[Vibrant General] GameOver69:
OK. Is this service/app required for the phone. If not, Where can I find this particular apk to remove
[Vibrant General] jaker.the.skater:
if you are rooted you can use an app "root explorer" to go into the system apps and move the daily briefing apk. move it to a folder on your sd card as a backup in case you ever need it again. then reboot your phone, go to manage applications and you should be able to uninstall it.

ive done this with other system apps without a problem (dualclock, buddiesnow, telenav,my files and some others) but i kept daily briefing so i dont know how it affects the phone. be sure to have a backup of it.
[Vibrant General] GameOver69:
Ive done this myself already, i just dont know what the name of the apk is for daily breifieng. is it days.apk? is it possibly stored in another location? Let me know. Thanks!
[Vibrant General] jaker.the.skater:
ah my bad. for some reason daily briefing is named infoalarm.apk

so move that one and infoalarm.odex also
[Vibrant General] srqt:
People say this but I have never seen any hard data to back it up. What I can tell you is since I started running ATK on my phone my battery life has improved immensely and I have experience none of the lag or app startup delay that others have complained about.
[Vibrant General] GameOver69:
yep that did the trick. Thanks!
[Vibrant General] buggywhip:
Thanks for the info! Daily Briefing has been on my uninstall list ever since I noticed it popping up in the task list constantly, and accessing the web. Never could find it listed in uninstall apps lists. Finally, unable to uninstall it in the GoLauncher app drawer, I added it to a homescreen and long pressed it, and selected Uninstall from the popup. The uninstall process started and continued normally, but at the end I got "Unsuccessful". I ran the app for the first time ever and went to Settings and unchecked all the boxes. The app went from 3 screens to one, that just says no information. I'm hoping this keeps it inactive... Will let you know how it went.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
i too prefer torrent over fileshare / rapidshare and all the partners and look alikes

torrent is click and go, then you can forget about it.

but all those sharing sites are a pain in the you know where, it's a massive waste of time waiting for those sites and the endless hoops it forces you to click through before it lets you download, and assuming they are not hiding the link elsewhere in another tiny micro text, or some button lost in the massive swarm of spam hugemongeous banners totally ofuscading it.

worse are those times when you downloaded other stuff for other project from those sites, and says you already ran out of the max alloted download for the day, and have to wait like 6 hours before you can try again.... :mad:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kramiz:
Sure go ahead. As long as someone with decent bandwidth is seeding it, it should be good.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
not some one with decent bandwidth, the idea of torrents is to leave it always on, so that many many many people can use as little bandwidth as possible to create a full fast download stream.

I mean the initial seeding, but of course if several people have the file from some other source...

i know with DC he has the switch in his updater thing, and whats does high mflops even really prove?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bielinsk:
Fresh is not froyo based, you are not running the same software.

On 2.1 with JIT you may see up to 12, but not more.

And good luck finding any improvement in your phone with a high mflops in linpack. I see no relation to actual usage.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastermayhm:
yea im starting to dig up some info, but what I cant understand is how are some people getting 12s? i mean we have the same phone same rom and both overclocked to 1.2 what could be the difference?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
Eve with the same phone and rom the hardware still varies and some CPUs will always get better then other or need different settings. a lot of milking speed from electronics is an art not a science.

A MFLOP real world use doesnt necessarily mean much depending on the use. It is basically how many raw calculations it can do. so say for 3d gaming a 9 vs a 12 mflop may not make any difference at all since it is more heavily reliant on the GPU.

The difference is more then likely they have JIT set up to get the extra 12. also a lot of people will literally close down everything they can and run the phone with as little as possible going on. This will normally yield better speeds since a lot more memory and cpu can be devoted to it.

I dont use FRESH so maybe someone else can point you in the right direction for JIT on fresh. But a 9 without JIT on 2.1 is not a bad score at all

[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
I'm curious what are the standard operating temperatures people experience with their X10s, especially under heavy use?

I'm wondering, because I've noticed that my X10 tends to hover in the 42-46°C often under use (most commonly at work while running Barnacle WiFi Tether while connected to my X10 charger). This while using SetCPU to to run at 384MHz max with "Screen Off" and 576MHz max with "Temp > 42.3°C" ("Screen Off" has the higher priority of the two).

I understand that while running Barnacle, the phone has both the 3G and WiFi radios in operation, so a temperature increase makes sense. Charging on top of that will further increase temps. I just want to make sure I'm within "expected" ranges when doing this.

It should be noted that my 3G signal is pretty crappy (-94 to -102dbm) where my cubicle is, so that likely doesn't help).
[XPERIA X10 General] yetep:
Totally within normal mate... Mine usually is about 39 degrees but I don't tether, and usually charge when I'm not using it at all.. :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] xGary:
35- When Idle, around 35 when using, 40+ when charging
[XPERIA X10 General] wingz85:
Sounds about right mate, i only experence very high battery heat when running Navigon whilst plugged into my car charger and its hit 50 degrees +, thats when i know i need to turn it off for a bit.
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
Yeah, I hit 50°C once or twice. Not sure what is what that pushed it that high either time, but in both cases I simply unplugged, shut down Barnacle, and switched to "GSM only", and it cooled down quite quickly. Then I re-enabled stuff and all was back to normal.

Good to hear I'm seeing typical temps.
[XPERIA X10 General] xGary:
Are there any ways to cool it down other than shutting down whatever you are doing. I get to about 44 gaming and the phone feels pretty warm. (No WiFi, 3G, GPS etc)
[XPERIA X10 General] saltorio:
44°C is fine. It can be warm to the touch, but no more so than a laptop.

To cool it down: you could take off the back cover. That should help it dissipate heat a bit better. Of course, then you also don't have any insulation so it'll likely also feel a bit hotter to the touch.

I have a cheap rubber skin I keep the phone in most of the time (for a bit of bump protection). I bought it on eBay from Hong Kong for like $1.00. It probably contributes a bit to the heat build-up, but it does make it a bit easier to hold while warm.

it creates the datastore fine... no problem...

goes to HTC white boot screen,

then

Android animated screen...

and then a brief glimpse of a locked Sense screen, and it then vibrates and subsequently shuts down.. (not reboot just shut down)
