I think I figured it out!

OK so inspired by this thread, I log into sprint.com to see what they officially say the $10 charge is. I think if we stick together, we can have them by the balls on this one.

"Premium Data:

- A wicked fast processor to make your apps run smoother and faster on our Sprint -3G and 4G network

- Top quality media experience with oversized screen, high resolution video and HD recording

- High-quality pics to snap and share with friends and family"

If you see this as I see this, Sprint is charging us $10/mo for the phone itself - not the service. We already paid for the damn phone! HTC is maker of the phone and sold it to us through Sprint. Both companies made money from the purchase of the phone.

Now Sprint is getting another $10/month from us because another company, HTC made an awesome phone.

I am no lawyer, but I have a feeling this contract just wont hold.

It is like buying buying an awesome sound system for your car with satellite radio built in, and having Sirius charge you $10 extra each month because the stereo plays Blue Ray, has Bluetooth, and gets rid of your blue balls.

We bought our phones for $199. And that is part of the contract. Charging us an additional $10 per month for the phone itself voids that contract. So, they try to say that they are providing the experience to us each month.

The agreed upon cost of the phone is a fixed one: $199. They are really charging you a mixed cost of $199 + $10x (where x = the number of months)

And in fact, they are lying by trying to tell us they are giving us this experience, when in fact the screen CAN NOT become less than 4.3" if we do not pay; the processor CAN NOT slow down if we do not pay; and the camera CAN NOT be less than 8 MP if we don't pay.

Who the heck is with me?!

If u would read the new TOS it states that u will only be charged for data roaming if your roaming usage exceeds ur sprint usage...
[EVO 4G General] :
When did this change? I have been using like 10 gigs of roaming and don't see any charges... I have used like 0 KB of sprint data.

I remember before that they didn't do anything, or they just cut your roaming if you went over... I remember reading that they will never charge you though.

(The 10 gigs of roaming usage was in Juneish)
[EVO 4G General] EVOme:
It says for plans starting after Aug. 8, 2010, so I take that to mean all us day one'ers are still unlimited. Amirite?
[EVO 4G General] ritzbrie:
Sprint Chat Reps are completely and utterly worthless, you need to call to get something done right.

This past weekend my girlfriend's phone died. She had a Palm Pre she used to use and was going to reactivate it. The rep wanted her to do a complete and total factory reset on it to delete all of the data she had.

As I watched her struggle to put in 567## on the dialer with nothing happening, I took the phone from her, called Sprint and within 5 minutes had the phone operational. Meanwhile the chat guy was "researching" what to do during this time frame. Turns out all he was doing was just copying and pasting things from the Sprint website.
[EVO 4G General] Stank0:
I was questioning this roaming data problem as well. Interesting how different Sprint representatives give you different answers. It goes from "No limit and no charge" through "300 data roaming cap then restricted" to "data roaming will take your minutes"

I don't know exactly how it takes it from your minutes but if they charge 1 minute roaming data as 1 minute voice call, that would suck major ass.

I don't know how "roaming data guard" works (appreciate info) but just to be safe I've turned "data roaming" completely off until I'll be 100% sure about their policy.
[EVO 4G General] kris54241:
No reason to turn roaming off...sprint wont charge u for roaming...it'll say roaming 0 dollars
[EVO 4G General] Stank0:
Our experience may differ. I travel across the country on daily basis and I'm sure I'd go over that dreaded 300MB cap quite fast using pandora, last.fm and navigation when driving and tethered when I'm not. I don't want to take any chances.

I know voice roaming is free unless it'll make for majority of all calls.

According to my experience, if people give you different answer to the same question, they're just guessing or there is something stinky about it.

Anyone knows how "roaming data guard" works?
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
I just looked at my account last night to see. I was in Hawaii this past week and sucked up a lot of roaming data. It has a (!) - Click here to see how to reduce your bill thing under data usage on my line; if I click it, it says you've used blahblahblah amount of roaming data your extra charges are $0.00. I'm not too worried about it. I'll just wait until I get charged.
[EVO 4G General] kris54241:
Don't tell me I'm guessing...read the new TOS cuz I did and I talked to sprint associates and that's what they said n what I read
[EVO 4G General] kris54241:
Yeah this is exactly what I am talking about
[EVO 4G General] berardi:
A sprint Rep confirmed for me no charge for this
[EVO 4G General] npaulseth:
Guys, the 300mb cap is only for data cards. Quit fretting over spilt milk.
[EVO 4G General] mearsfan5:
The following page is on sprint.com: http://shop.sprint.com/en/shop/why_sprint/4g/evo_plan_details.html

To get to this page you would go to the phone shop, and on the EVO it says "Important plan and 4G coverage info" Clicking this link brings up a page with the EVO's plan information. On that page they are specifically stating "Unlimited data/On our network"

There is also this fine print at the bottom of the page:

Also on sprint.com/termsandconditions its listed as follows:

No matter how you slice it, Sprint has their bases covered on this..

[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
the only problem i am going to have with this extra ten dollars is when my girl gets the galaxy s phone. So now we will both pay ten for unlimited data ontop of the 5 gb's unlimited data rolled into our plan.

I wish sprint would let me pick a lower minute package for us cause we use like 60 all month and thats with cell to cell calls
[EVO 4G General] Stank0:
That's what I'm talking about.

I can't risk to have my phone service suspended. I depend on it more than I'm comfortable with.
[EVO 4G General] npaulseth:
Sprint will call or mail you first if you are roaming 'too' much. I wouldn't worry about it.
[EVO 4G General] cocobongo77:
Few Minutes ago , I spoke with Sprint Rep and explain me about the roaming. Most of us we got Unlimited data plan and the data roaming doesnt apply, it's included unlimited. Now with the calls is differents, if you are in a roaming area they wil discount the minute you use from you minute in you package. The roaming call is not included during day, night , weekend, it wil be discounted from you minutes

Now the 300 mb Limited roaming is just for Broadband cards, Nothing to do with the roaming data in the phone.

Hope I clarifiy the doubts,:cool:
[EVO 4G General] berardi:
is this really a whole website about the $10 fee? lol

Wow...I'm really surprised this thread is still going. I would have thought it would've been *farted* down to the bottom by now, lol.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nellyspageli:
I made this app that checks for the latest nightlies. It is for all of us who are obsessed with constantly checking for nightlies. So far it only checks for Nexus One nightlies. It is the first app I have ever made so it will probably force close. Sorry!

I'm not responsible for anything that this does to your device. It works fine for my nexus one.

Test it out and let me know!

Known Bugs: when u first start it, it notifies you of a new build, this will be fixed in the next release.

Can't cancel download

Doesn't auto-select link for all phones. PM me if it's not selecting for your phone. (it defaults to nexus one if it can't set it)

Alpha 5 adds boatloads of features. Auto Download doesn't work yet, its just there to taunt you in the settings. Time Zone display should work correctly. Copy MD5 to clipboard button. Less force closes.

CM Forum Link

Let me know if the notifications work. I didn't really have time to test them as I only get one shot every time a new build is released.

Also please tell me how battery life is with and without auto refresh on.

If anybody knows how to programatically reboot into recovery please PM me!

Release Notes:

Alpha 5 is completely rewritten to add NOTIFICATIONS (maybe, im not sure if they actually work), less force closes, fixed time zone, md5 to clipboard, progress bar, automatically sets directory for more phones

Alpha 4 selects which build to download based on your phone model and lets you choose download method (browser or sd card)

Alpha 3 displays the nightlies in your time zone (let me know if this works right)

Alpha 2 adds a toast and reverses the order so the latest nightly appears at the top

Alpha 1 initial release
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mik101:
Just what I wanted. Thank you so much. :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] NguyenHuu:
thanks, once you get notifications working, this will be epic. but i think it will be quite difficult without getting cooperation from the hosting provider.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djdarkknight96:
Nice, going to check this one out! Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] b33zy682:

Thanks DEV!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] godsfilth:
Any chance of adding some kind of an easy way to know the last rom I downloaded? I know I can use a file manager to check but I'll admit I'm lazy and i think that it would be very useful
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] WaPeR32:
Too bad for me.

Dev, can you use CMupdater?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mattrb:
FC on EVO. Latest Nightly.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nellyspageli:
sorry, i made a silly mistake in the code. this doesn't work on anything but nexus one for now.

anyways, im completely reworking this app now that i know what im doing to add all the requested features and make it faster and more responsive.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Redeye:
I wanted to report a UI bug. When you select one of the nightly builds from the list and then select another rom, the second rom details are the same as the first one selected.

It looks like the popup values are only set on the first selection.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nellyspageli:

if i enable auto refresh, do i still need to set refresh frequency? or does it mean that if auto refresh is on, it will automatically refresh based on your frequency?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] nellyspageli:
looks like i skipped over the value for 6 hours. so if you set it to 12 hours, it should refresh every 24 hours. this will be fixed in the next release

if you enable auto-refresh it will automatically refresh based on your frequency. i'll try to make this more clear in the next release.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] NguyenHuu:
notifications seem to work if app is running. maybe next step is to allow for sound? i also noticed that, if the app isnt running in background it wont notify. when i rebooted my phone, the app doesnt auto load so i did not get any notifications. i saw in the forums that new nightly is up, so i loaded up the app and then it finally notify me.

maybe add an option to have it load on boot
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] djdarkknight96:
Not working anymore! They changed the site!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Redeye:
Not only did they change the site but they changed from build dates to build numbers.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] rickytenzer:

I used this application every day. I particularly loved how it downloaded to my SD root so I didn't have to move the file from my downloads folder to the root.

Please give us v6!

i download it and nothing works??? just a black screen????? 4 and 5??? please help me!

They recently changed the mirror for the nightlies so the dev needs to update the app.

This app needs to be updated. Can the dev or anyone else update the mirrors? :D
[General Questions and Answers] mech_egr:
So I was able to get into the Swype beta (I love it) but my mom was not and she wants swype. Is there anything to stop me from loading the swype installer apk from my phone on to hers, running it through astro, and signing in to download the actual program? The only thing I could see throwing it off is that there would be two phones running on the same swype account simultaneously. I just wanted to know if anyone else had tried this. (or has a better method to get swype)

Thanks!

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Frolex:
Ive got 026 rooted..used the one click method. today i started removing a few apps like timescape and moxier, but no apps that seem to have anything to do with the phonebook. The problem is that when i press a contact in the phonebook nothing happends, and when i long press it and press view contact it forcecloses ("the application phonebook (process android.process.acore)...". If i want a number I can however just press "edit before call" and see it. But I still can't access the contact itself.

Any ideas on whats going on?

thanks!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Mobzter:
Unfortunately a lot of people have ran into this issue.. the cause is timescape.. you should avoid removing it! however you can use other apps such as acontacts, quickcall, takephone, etc without worrying about the errors. altho if u prefer the SE version then you might have to reroot unles someone knows another way.. maybe pushing it back somehow into the system or something!

Hope it helps!!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Frolex:
thanks for the reply!

well isnt it possible to reinstall timescape? isnt it just a normal apk?

if not, do you recommend any of those apps you mentioned?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Mobzter:
I think people have tried but I don't think they had much luck but who knows someone may prove me wrong..

As for them apps ive tried them three theyre al gud.. u myt fancy the takephone 1.. I think thats the name or myt b takeaphone.. do correct me if I'm wrong people !
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] saltorio:
I like aContacts, but have also tried Phonebook 2.0. Both are free on the market and run without issues on an X10 with Timescape removed.

As for re-installing Timescape, it apparently can be done without re-rooting, but the process isn't as simple as simply loading the APK from a backup, as it's considered a core component of the system on an X10.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Saigonian:
I also have the same problem today, using original firmware of X10, and wuth Timescape. I have to reboot my phone and it's back to.normal, you can try it!
[Droid Incredible General] GatorsUF:
Is the phone that much faster without Sense? Is it any better on the battery? I like the Sense apps but have thought of switching to vanilla if I can get better battery life and less occasional lag (like its really that bad :P).

Just looking for Pros and Cons...Is ADW a good alternative? I tried Launcher Pro and it seemed run slow, maybe because sense was running behind it.
[Droid Incredible General] jdkoreclipse:
Vanilla is better, but is not fasteror better onbattery.

Launcher pro is the best launcher
[Droid Incredible General] lllPHLAKlll:
I just prefer vanilla over sense, no technical reason why. Also, I second the vote for LauncherPro.
[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
I like sense myself..after having trield vanilla and launcher pro..Launcher pro MAY be needing resources a bit more than sense and vanilla.. as these two are built in.. while Launcher pro is an app.
[Droid Incredible General] Kipphh:
I second this. I just used Sky Raiders 2.2 vanilla and while it was amazing in the battery department it was not all that great in the UI arena IMO. I just missed some of the features that you have with sense.
[Droid Incredible General] Jhorra:
I prefer sense, mostly because of it's better Exchange integration. I like the tweaks and additional functionality that Sense provides.
[Droid Incredible General] jdkoreclipse:
I think it was lacking in the ui because it is a mix of vanilla and sense. Some theming will clear that up.
[Droid Incredible General] GatorsUF:
I really like the 5 buttons on the bottom of Launcher Pro as apposed to the sense bar with 3 buttons. But LauncherPro just didn't seem as smooth with sense running the BG and all I could think about was how it would kill my battery with Sense running all the while I have LauncherPro going.
[Droid Incredible General] dark_blue:
I run the stock rom with Launcher Pro as my default rom and nandroid backup. I use Advanced Task Killer to kill sense and all the non critical supporting processes and apps. My battery life is about the same as before I switched over to this configuration, and my phone does seem to run about as smooth as it did with sense. I have used ADW and a couple others, as well as the stock vanilla android, and I like Launcher Pro the best. I get some stability issues here and there, but LP just restarts and all is well in the world. I also use the Beautiful Widgets clock/weather widget, it may contribute to the occasional force closes, but they'e not frequent enough to concern me.
[Droid Incredible General] kriskmk:
likewise I used to be an avid ATK (Advanced Task Killer) user.. but after having read how android OS works and reading plenty of expert articles.. apparently using a task killer is COUNTER PRODUCTIVE to saving memory and battery.. you can google this if you want.. Android OS has built in file and RAM allocation management systems.. the ATKs will kill a task before it has a chance to shut down itself.. resulting in depletion of resources necessarily.
[Droid Incredible General] falkien:
I agree 100%. Coming from Moto Droid. I am not a big fan of sense. It just seems like there is too much stuff going on. It all depends on how much social integration you like, i.e. Facebook, twitter and so on.
[Droid Incredible General] GatorsUF:
Is there any way to change the bottom bar? I really like the LLP bar, but sense is smoother so I will likely stick with it for the forseeable future.

Hi everyone first time poster long time lurker. I love all your work it is beyond amazing what you guys can do. Could anyone create for me or teach me how to make the HTC dialer transparent so that I can see my live wallpaper while I am dialing a call?

I've read almost every post i can possibly find in here but still i cant figure out how exactly do I root my htc legend and can install all the cool ROMs and make my htc legend much more cooler than now...

Can someone please, please, please....................help me....

[Legend General] Learners Lisence:
what about the microwave ? Make sure moms not around....
[Legend General] lessirey:
Htc has implemented many features which tighten the security of legend, which makes it lil complicated to root than some other phones.

Iam not sure if you can even revert back to the original ROM on legend once you root. Which would make you unable to apply updates provided by htc.

You shouldnt probably root if you do not really understand what they say, coz.. you might end up bricking your phone. If you dont mind taking the risk of killing your phone, you could give a try.

I've rooted my previous phone, samsung i5700. It was easy and it was great to have a good control over it, but as of yet, iam not going to take chance on my legend.
