I have $20 internet on two lines on my family plan, plus $15 unlimited texting for both lines, and I get a 15% corporate discount from my university.

You gotta say cancel as son as the automated service asks what you want. Them tell the rep you have been with them for awhile but feel like you're paying too much. They should offer to drop the bill a little.
[Vibrant General] Mark271:
I dropped it in water. I get upgrades two times a year. :)
[Vibrant General] Blueman101:
I'll give your thing a try, also is that discount for being a student or working for the university?
[Vibrant General] dq13:
Guys, there are A LOT of companies that get discounts, they just don't tell you. I used to work for Best Buy and just for that you get a discount, if you are a student, you get a discount, etc... also, he has $20 internet PLUS $15 for text, that's 35... I pay $25 for internet plus $10 unlimited text for all the lines in the family plan, so its also $35
[Vibrant General] Blueman101:
yeah except my college recently got rid of college email accounts. And you cant have student/company discounts on flexpay and i haven't met the 6month good payment history (i have 8 months good payment history) to switch to regular payment but still apparently don't qualify for regualr payment. F**K flexpay!
[Vibrant General] ytj87:
Very good deal.

I got a decent deal too.

On my existing line 1 with 13 months since my last upgrade, they agreed to give me the $199 upgrade price since I ported over my girlfriend's AT&T number as a new line 2. I got a 2nd Vibrant for that line at $199. They also agreed to give line 2 the unlimited data plan for $25/mo to match my line 1, since I have the grandfathered G1 data plan with 400 text messages. I also have unlimited loyalty minutes for $90 for both lines.

So... $45 each line for unlimited voice, $25 each line for unlimited data, $199 per phone. That's a non-subsidy phone plan price with a subsidized phone price.

Been with T-Mo about 7 years.
[Vibrant General] superchi:
I actually got a similar deal on mine as well.

My contract ended back in December but I'd been using an iPhone for a little longer than that. I wanted to upgrade but T-Mobile didn't have much that could compare to be worth extended my contract. After reading around about the Vibrant and the deals people were getting with them I decided to give them a call. I was connected to what I believe is their retentions department and told the rep that I was thinking about switching carriers to AT&T for the new iPhone. She immediately said that she would like me to keep my line with them and wanted to offer me a deal on the Vibrant.

She offered the Vibrant for basically $49.99 after it was said and done. My account was given a $100 credit and then the phone billed for $149.99. Waiving the upgrade fee and shipping charges also seemed to be standard practice. When I asked if that meant I had to use the $30 data plan she said she could discount the plan to $24.99 before I could say anything else. I gladly accepted.

My household has been with T-Mobile for near a decade now, although I'm usually the only one that upgrades out of our four lines. We have the same grandfathered plan from when we opened our account as well. I chalked the great deal up to being long-time customers with them.
[Vibrant General] tekmoe:
I ordered the Vibrant thru T-Mobile.com almost 3 weeks ago. The order got messed up...BAD. They debited our account twice for $1200 ($600 x 2). After waiting for a week with no sign of the phone, the order status stuck on Pending, and no refund, I got fed up and contacted corporate. The girl who I am still working with has been very apologetic with trying to get the issue resolved. On Thursday of last week T-Mobile debited our account yet AGAIN for another $600. I called her immediately and told her what had happened. I could tell she was very frustrated because all of this is out of T-Mobiles control. From what I found out it's actually a 3rd party company that handles all of the telesales and online orders. She called me back a few hours later and explained all of that to me.

During all of this the order status was still "pending." Well what do you know, the phone showed up in the mail later that day. I called her again to tell her and after she put me on hold for a few minutes she came back and told me we could keep the phone for free because of all the troubles. We've received $1200 back over the past couple of days but there is still $600 that is in a hold state on our debit card. Hopefully it will post back soon. It's been pretty crappy not having $1800 for the few weeks. But we got a free phone and a free month of service out of this whole ordeal so I guess it was worth it.
[G1 General] Lost Symphonies:
Hey, long time reader and modder and this is the 1st time I've had a problem with a Mytouch 3g, tried to flash the updated radio image (not allowed to post link as a I'm a new member)

But now it turns itself on and after 5 seconds it restarts again!

I'm running CM6 and I'm worried I may have screwed it (it's not my MT3G, it's my bros).

Tried to downgrade it back to the original radio but it isn't taking that either!

Please help!
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
What radio? 2.22.23.02 or whatever? (I'm on my phone lol). Have u tried full wipe and reflash everything?
[G1 General] wilsonlam97:
johnson's way is probably the most practical. though you would lose everything (if you dont have a backup) its better than having a paperweight.
[G1 General] Lost Symphonies:
yeah that's the radioI flashed, and the radioI came from was the upgradeable radio mentioned in the upgraded radios thread (ends in 26i I believe). tried a full wipe and reflash and out its still getting stuck. I have the stock spl on the phone; could that be the problem?

he isn't so bothered about his data (I accidentally deleted all his data when I flashed cm6 :P)
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
I have stock spl on mine and didnt have any prob. updating radio. Maybe you should re-download radio and try full wipe and re-flash new download. What method did you use to do this to your phone? Have you tried any other roms? Did you make a nandroid backup when you rooted? What recovery are you using?

I have a mt3g rooted. Using amon ra 1.7.0 recovery. You want that one so get it if you dont have it. Wipe everything in recovery. Put the radio and rom on your sd card. Flash radio and reboot. See if it boots up as it should. If it does then go back into recovery and flash the rom.(Im using chromatic 4.2 based off cm6). See if it boots up as it should. Keep us informed
[G1 General] Lost Symphonies:
Have tried to redownload the radio 3 times - It says that is 8.77MB on the download but when viewing on my computer it says its 9.2MB on disk, is this normal?

Tried a full wipe before reflashing the CM6 and google add on, then restored the nandroid, all to no avail, will try the rom you stated as well as a 1.6 ROM to see if it's a problem with the ROM I'm using which doesn't like the updated radio.

I'm using Amon_Ra 1.6.2 (RA-sapphire-v1.6.2G) and have used it since I rooted the thing quite a while ago, should I update it to 1.7.0?

I'll let you know what happens.
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
You should update recovery absolutely. The Rom I am using isn't 1.6. Its 2.2 froyo. I'm not sure that's normal about dl size. What a weird issue. Try new Rom and get back with me
[G1 General] Lost Symphonies:
Right, I tried a totally different ROM which isn't based off CM6 and it loads and DOESNT reboot the phone over and over, however the android.process.acore wasn't working - this could be the actual ROM with the problem but I don't know - just about to try another ROM to see...
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
What Rom did u try? Did u try goin to terminal typing in su. Hit enter get# sign then type fix_permissions and see what happens?
[G1 General] Lost Symphonies:
Right I tried a different ROM (couldn't find the chromatic ROM you are using, so I used FroyoRedux 1.6) and it is working perfectly - must have been the CM6 ROM which doesn't seem to agree with my phone/radio - even though this ROM is based off the CM nightly builds it seems to be working perfectly fine.

Thanks a lot for your help mate, you were a great help.
[G1 General] johnson8cyl:
No problem. Glad u got it worked out. Chromatic 4.3 is in the g1 development section. I assume your phone took the radio img ok? Happy to help

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Twister360:
Hey guys. I was wondering if you could help me out. I'm visiting NYC soon, but I have a Desire which means I won't be able to go on the internet in the US. Now, I've also got a G1 which does support both versions of 3g (I guess?)

Since I've never visited the US before I don't really know how this works so here's the question. Is there a way of buying a simcard anywhere in NYC that'll allow me to use my G1 and go on the internet prepaid-ish?

If its possible how much would it cost me and what are your other tips?

Thanks in advance.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohyeahar:
I visited NYC just a couple of months ago with my HTC Desire. And I was looking for the exact same thing you are.

Unfortunately, I just couldn't find any prepaid method to get cellular data.

Fortunately, there are free WiFi hotspots throughout the city. Eg, all parks, all museums, most hotels, Times Square, etc.

Here's my tip: Stay unconnected and enjoy your visit. Just hook onto WiFi networks when you absolutely need to get online.

[HD2 General] dinanS52:
So anyways, I bought my HD2 a month ago when T-Mobile had the free smart phone promotion. I had been torn over this and the MyTouch Slide for a number of reasons (native Android being the primary plus for the Slide), but in the end I chose the HD2 because of the superior hardware and oh so sexy form factor.

Flash forward a month, and T-Mobile now offers a solid top-tier android phone (Vibrant) and XDA has made some serious leaps and bounds in terms of Android on the HD2. I just loaded DarkStone's sense on my HD2 last night and I am simply amazed.

My dilemma is this: While Froyo on the HD2 is pretty stable at this point, there are still a number of bugs that need to be addressed (3G capability, wifi sharing, battery life, 20 second screen freezes, USB transfer, etc). Darkstone's software on the HD2 has given me a taste of the power of Android, however its still a ways off from being a polished product. While I like the concept, I just can't get over the fact that I have to use a beta product as a daily use device.

I could sell my HD2 for around $400 (most likely $350ish), and get the Vibrant new from T-mobile for $500. The Vibrant isn't nearly as solid, refined, or stylish as the HD2 (in fact, it feels cheap and flimsy), but it is NATIVE android and is getting rave reviews. However the future of the Android on the HD2 looks bright, even though it is some time away...

What would you guys do? Should I eat the $150 and get the Vibrant? Or should I man up and keep the HD2 lab rat?
[HD2 General] ryan562:
i currently have both phones and use the hd2 for work. both are solid in their respective areas.

to you, it seems it boils down to OS. you seem to prefer android much more over the aging win mo OS. the android ports look very very promising although none are completely stable. it would be easy for me to tell you and get the vibrant and its native android support. however, the vibrant also comes with its own set up issues namely gps and compass and its cheap and plastic build.

if you don't want to lose money on your existing contract, it might be a good idea to wait for some true hsdpa/hspa+ android handsets to come out via t-mobile. there is supposedly the htc glacier in december and htc vision aka g1 blaze late next month which has a slide out keyboard. and in waiting, hopefully, better and more stable builds for the hd2 will be coming out. :D
[HD2 General] pbleonidus:
dammit. now in a few months, im gonna want the glacier.... dual core proccessor on a phone!?!?! :eek: :drool: and other technology will be available then then, prolly gonna have like a 10mp camera.... why would you post that, no im gonna be mad wanting that phone.... grrrrr lol

as for the question, i would say, which do you want more, solid phone, or a solid operating system?

vibrant= solid droid OS, not so solid, el cheapo phone

hd2, second best phone available (behind the evo) solid (yet no very good stock) win mo OS, with the option to upgrade the ROM, and also be able to dual boot a working, but not perfectly solid android OS...

choice is yours, hd2 seems better to me, better phone platform, more options when it comes to OS's
[HD2 General] ryan562:
that's the power and temptation of android lol every six months we'll be seeing a better phone. btw, i also forgot about the upcoming mytouch hd. not sure when that one's gonna come out lol.

btw, not to completely knock on the vibrant but its processor is superfast and gpu is excellent for gaming. watching and playing movies and 3d games side by side, there is no comparison vs. the hd2, the vibrant wins hands down. when froyo comes out for vibrant, i am guessing it will outshine the nexus or any other android device in its league on 2.2 by far. but yeah my only knock on the vibrant is the build quality and gps issues.
[HD2 General] hegemytouch:
Your the 3rd person to ask this lol...i say keep the hd2 and just wait a couple of months till some thing better comes out...android is pretty stable on the hd2 right now...its def very usable...i havent used windows in 2 weeks...
[HD2 General] ryan562:
i have grossly underestimated my samsung galaxy/vibrant and its potential. this is still at android 2.1 while rooted.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
I'm still trying to figure out how the OP thinks he's getting 350-400 for a used hd2???

If you like android, get a dedicated android phone. I haven't used the vibrant, but the reviews love the hardware specs, but say it feels cheap. I wonder what that means in a couple of months for durability.
[HD2 General] ryan562:
only time will tell on durability issues :D

t-mobile sells a great rubber/silicone shell cover to protect the phone from serious damage.

btw, here's a drop test+scratch test vid on the vibrant:

[HD2 General] nicksdad120107:
acually to the guy who talked about getting 350-400 for and hd2 i traded my hd2 str8 up for a brand new in boc vibrant
[HD2 General] thehumble1:
I've use the Vibrant for a while and used the HD2 and the build quality is so different. The Vibrant is a cheapo plastic phone that I think will have problems because of it's size compared to it's strength.

I'm not chipping in because of that though. It's because no one has mentioned the the Vib is made by Samsung, which I don't trust. They make good spec'd hardware but it just isn't the same as HTC and they will probably not support the phone as long. On paper the Vib looks good and it does perform well but I just don't see it withstanding the test of time.

It won't be too long till we get a stable full build of Android that we can flash right on over the HD2 and make it almost a complete Android phone.
[HD2 General] agentaaron:
I have an HD2 running Darkstones froyosense v2 now and my wife has the Vibrant...both are outstanding phones.

The Vibrant is super light and thin but if you put a thin TPU case on it (you can get 5 for $8.00 all over ebay) the phone feels much more durable...the screen is amazing and blows the HD2 out of the water when side by side

The HD2 feels good in my hands and has a bit of weight (which I do like) I have a TPU case on mine as well and have never been afraid to toss it onto the sofa table as I walk in the door from work...The screen looks pretty good and the extra .3 inches makes a pretty big difference when holding the two phones side by side playing movies. (just dont compare contrast)

I will say though...my HD2 running Android off the SDcard still gets about 5-6 hours more out of a full charge than my wifes Vibrant, and I would bet that I use mine more than she does as well...I have asked several people who also own a Vibrant about battery life and it seems that is a pretty weak point on them...I am guessing that it has something to so with the SAMOLED display (even turned all the way down, its still just as bright as my HD2 cranked up 3/4 of the way)

I have been using Android on my HD2 now since early July and have not booted into windows since...Darkstones ROMs are super stable for me.

I think either way though, you would not be disappointed. I was going to get the Vibrant as well when it launched, but like everyone else...I want to wait for the next Android leap.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
I've been fighting this question as well. Like the OP, I've been running Android on my HD2 for a while now. With the HD7 on the way, I am looking to get away from Windows Mobile. Since I hate the "new" Phone 7 interface, I am leaning heavily towards Android.

I've been an open-source proponent since the birth of Linux (yes, I'm old) and am really waiting for a decent Linux phone to show up. In the meantime, I'm very pleased with Android. It is everything that I ever wanted in a phone and it is still actively being updated, unlike Windows Mobile. Once Microsoft fulfills their OEM contracts, Windows Mobile will dry up overnight and I don't want to be around for that day.

I am very jealous of my co-workers and their Evos and Droids, but I'm not willing to walk away from a world-phone carrier like T-Mobile. I feel really great knowing that I could take a quick trip to West Africa to visit my family there and be able to pick up a prepaid sim card there without needing a new phone.

None of the Android phones heading to T-Mobile in the near future are meeting my wants at this point. Whatever I end up with, you can guarantee that it will be made by HTC. Whether it's AT&T or T-Mobile is still up in the air...
[HD2 General] partie:
I like the HD2 mainly because you can dual boot. It's nice having two os's.
[HD2 General] R32_Rocky:
I am a former HD2 owner. I loved my HD2, and sadly feel, like you hating the new WP7, that the HD2 might very well be the last great WinMo phone. And say what you will about WinMo 6.5.X, but I think it was way more customizable than the current Android phones. So many task bars & icons, slider, clock mods, Roms and themes, etc, not to mention many have said it did not have the FPS cap that cripples the EVO (until you root it, and now much easier to do on 2.2).

As T-Mobile had extremely poor signal in my home, that is the ONLY reason I sold it. If it had been on VZW, it would have been a keeper. And thus my journey began....... and I hope this will help you out.

So, dumping the HD2, and NOT wanting a WP7 phone, I was going to an Android phone. The Samsung Vibrant just came out and the specs "looked good on paper". None of the usual suspects had one in stock, but my local Radio Shack had one left.

To make the story a bit shorter, I tried the Vibrant in the hopes it might have a better radio in it for T-Mobile, not! So I returned it for an AT&T Captivate. AT&T had a way better signal, so thought to be a keeper, but that too was not to be. You see, once you love HTC's Sense, you are spoiled! Samsung's TouchWiz IMO pales in comparison. And as I still had my HD2 yet, I kept looking at it longingly. So it ended up most of my time with the Captivate was spent on the Marketplace trying to buy widgets (and e-mail as well as other programs) to make it have "Sense". Too many bugs and problems with what I bought off the Marketplace, and again, IMHO, nothing feels like an HD2 except another HD2 or, .......the EVO from Sprint! So dumped the Captivate, bought the EVO, and never regretted it one bit! For now, I have a sturdy feeling phone with EXCELLENT build quality over any Samsung, and now have the REAL Sense! And that also means I have the better HTC e-mail program, complete with widgets similar to the HD2 WinMo (and a few even better looking choices as well), the HTC calendar, sms/mms, and the beloved animated clock/weather widget which I had waited so long to get on my old Touch Pro 2 when 6.5 came out.

So in a nutshell, if you love your HD2 but want to go full Android, then the only REAL current choice is the EVO, period ;)
[HD2 General] pinhead:
Pass on the the Vibrant if you can wait. The screen on it is fantastic looking but the device is a toy. If you feel the need to go to Android there is always something better about to come out and the Vibrant will not long be seen as such an impressive device once the novelty of the over-saturated screen wears off.

When you unlock and swipe from left to right a light coloured bar comes out saying unlock on it, where is this bar? I thought it may be in framework-res but I couldn't see it. Anyone know where it is? Also same question for the vanilla call answer screen?
[Desire General] liamstears:
anyone have any idea?
[Desire General] deepdevil:
Not sure about the call screen, but I can help you with the lockscreen. Get widget locker from the Market, it costs $2. Using this, you can get the default vanilla lockscreen, even one like the iPhone if you want. It also lets you place widgets on the lockscreen.
[Desire General] dickenz:
No you really can't help haha... You're way off dude.

He's obviously asking for theme'ing purposes.

Unfortunately I don't know where it's located either. I'd suggest downloading and extracting a ROM that has the Vanilla lockscreen and wading through all that.

EDIT: Or just download the update.zip from the Desire Themes & Apps section that has the Vanilla lockscreen only. And find it within there. I'll be home from work soonish so I'll download and check it out myself when I get there.
[Desire General] liamstears:
I have a feeling its to do with these in the framework-res:

jog_tab_bar_left_end_pressed.9.png

jog_tab_bar_left_end_normal.9.png

jog_tab_bar_right_end_normal.9.png

jog_tab_bar_right_end_pressed.9.png

But I dont know about the text saying unlock etc......
[Desire General] dickenz:
Is it possible that the text itself is not an image but rather text that has been coded to pop up over the bar image?

That would explain why you cannot find an image for it.
[Desire General] liamstears:
Thats exactly what I think! I think its in colors.xml but I dont know which one, when I get some spare time I will experiment with it all.....
