same problem here - using tzones plan in nyc

Edit: for me at least, sucks that I paid full price for the n1 unsubsidized, if I knew this loophole was going to be closed (had it working for 2 years on my iphone) , i might not have bought directly from google
[Nexus One General] KROMO50:
looks like my brother and i are going back to iphones because edge still works on my dads. bye bye xda and my love nexus one

edit:ok my brothers is still working on wap2.voicestream.com and we are on the same account
[Nexus One General] bpm2000:
web2go in seattle here - so glad I saw this. My service on internet2 has been super intermittent lately and I was wondering what was up.

Might have to pony up for the regular data plan... ugh.

agreed - its still better than going back to AT&T any day of the week imo
[Nexus One General] leyvatron:
change your proxy settings and its back to normal....
[Nexus One General] KROMO50:
what are they
[Nexus One General] tardman91:
I guess it sucks, but you can't be too upset. You enjoyed it while it lasted. And I can't understand why everyone wants to switch to a new carrier because of this, unless it's due to coverage, because you aren't going to find a cheaper plan from a major carrier anywhere else.

I'm surprised t-zones lasted this long. My parents have been with the same electric and insurance companies for 20+ years. They don't get any grandfathered rates. :D
[Nexus One General] Papa_I:
I couldn't agree more. Personally, things are still working well for me in Chicago, so I hope this is just a system glitch for the time being. If it isn't a system glitch and they are rooting out people that are using T-zones for their smart phone data needs, it will be time for me to upgrade to the $20 Android Loyalty Data Plan. For me, I look at it as I had a good run for 4 years with cheap data on my iPhone and now my N1. People shouldn't be mad when they are knowingly using a loop hole in T-Mobile's system. Here is hoping things will get back to normal soon, but if they don't, it was a good run while it lasted.
[Nexus One General] latifk:
I have been grandfathered into the 2.99 T-zones from 2001. My 3G internet on my Nexus one is still working... I was using Epc.tmobile.com APN and it stopped last night, but now with APN wap2.voicestream.com it works.

The only problem is my brother who lives with me also has a Nexus One, and he called me about this issue... which is why im helping him research. We are both running 2.2.1 Stock ROM, but his does NOT work. Not on any APN... i wonder if it's slowly going out for everyone or it is just a bug.

I will keep yall posted if mine goes out too, I am about 20 miles from him at the moment.
[Nexus One General] negreenfield:
Yeah but for TMobile their web plans with contracts are $30-$40 more expensive than the plans without. The $300 for subsidizing the phones is basically paid off within 10 months if you go with a plan with no contract.
[Nexus One General] negreenfield:
any more info on this?
[Nexus One General] ironmang:
I wonder if who is affected right now has to do with data usage -- i used 1+ GB on my last bill and i'm over 500+ mb on my current billing cycle.

for those of you that are cut off - what is your usage like, also for those of you who are still connecting OK - what is your usage like ?
[Nexus One General] dys4ea:
also we should clarify that it's tzones (2.99, 4.99, 5.99) plans that are not working right?

so far it seems users on web2go don't seem to have any issues
[Nexus One General] ironmang:
yea, thats my point, but I think we're saying the same thing.

I bought the n1 full price so that I could use the 10 month period to break even on paying the unsubsidized price without getting stuck with a contract. Now I'm stuck with this phone that I've had a for a few months and I wont have a chance to break even if they've permanently closed the loophole.
[Nexus One General] latifk:
okay, mine has gone down as well now.
[Nexus One General] KROMO50:
I am using $5.99 tzones tried everything not working

this is the data i used last month

In Network	Back to Bill Summary

Not to cross-pollinate forums, but for anyone still doubting there is also lively discussion over at howard forums regarding the t-zones shut down titled:

[Nexus One General] diagnosisdroid:
So who is going to be the sacrificial lamb here and call T-Mo? I'll do it after a few days have passed. This tzones was the main reason I was staying with them.
[Nexus One General] negreenfield:
Reading through that thread it looks like some folks have and were able to get the $20 plan. I may go that route. I don't absolutely have to have 3G but I do use it quite a bit. I'll wait for more info before I call and try to get that plan.
[Nexus One General] :
It's random shortouts. My $10 plan is back working in full effect after an outtage last night.

My guess, they are just doing routine back end work in certain areas, possible for future HSDPA+ rollouts.
[Nexus One General] KROMO50:
Ok here is what you do call the cancellation department and they will hook u up for sure with the $20 data plan. I had the $5.99 t-zones so that made my data $14 and also i read on howardfourms to ask if they can give you the old $9.99 family text plan which they did i was paying $20 for it. so all in all i ended up paying only $4 extra dollars to keep everything the way it is and i also get 15% off. So really it is around $2 extra which i am happy with my bill will be for the family 1000 min and unlimited text plan and my data and my brothers old $2.99 t-zone which he is going to using on an iPhone 4 to get edge with my discount it is $123.65 not bad.
[Nexus One General] BklyN1:
I don't know what to do. I'm addicted to the speed of 3g on my n1. Rumor has it that other phone might still work. I have a Nokia e71. I'll try tonight, but its only going to be on edge. I dont' know if I can go back...
[Nexus One General] mush03:
they even blocked my nokia e63...

wap.voicestream.com is working!
[Nexus One General] avgjoemomma:
It's moronic that they don't allow data on the prepaid plans even. Even if it's expensive, give us the option to use it just in case it's an emergency. Free market ...pssh:mad:
[Nexus One General] mrbkkt1:
Switching to normal data was only 10 bucks more a month for me. Since I no longer had to add on texts and tmo to tmo ( I had an aincent plan with only 300 minutes ). Not too much of a loss, and still way cheaper than new people are paying.
[Nexus One General] dys4ea:
my tzones is back up as of 4:30 PM
[Nexus One General] KidTech:
Lucky mine still shows upgrade, how much data do you use per month? Keep us posted, please. What APN setting are you using?

On howardforums, people have put their sim cards in dummy phones and signed up for the 5 dollar prefered internet and its working. Has anyone else tried this ?
[Nexus One General] KROMO50:
my brothers is back up working we put his sim in my dads old nokia 6300 and it should tzones, then we put back in nexus one and its working again
[Nexus One General] avgjoemomma:
I do pay as you go and decided to try something out:

1. Changed User Agent string in my N1's browser (from Android to Desktop)

2. Turned on Data and tried to navigate to any site which took me to the T-Zones error page which gave me the option to enroll in the 1.99/MB plan. However when I tried to click the link but was given an error message.

Was worth a shot anyways:o
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
I still think they are just doing maintenance or upgrading their system... mine works fine...
[Nexus One General] babluc:
I first noticed this problem last saturday. I'm using APN epc.tmobile.com and everything works fine but if I turn off my data and turn it back on it no longer works, I get the subscription upgrade window. When I restart the phone again it work fine. Somehow tmobile can figure out its a smartphone when data turns off and then back on.

on tzones. i'm a heavy user (over 1 gig a month) i think. thought about doing the pref web2go but tzones started working again. called tmob earlier and they said that they have been getting a lot of calls about this.
[Nexus One General] daijizai:
Mine came back on last night too... Hoping that it stays!
[Nexus One General] nephroid:
Mine is also back online but the bigger question is...

Is it even LEGAL for them to discriminate a data connection by what DEVICE you have to connect to it? What if we have two or more phones and we switch our SIM chip between them? I have the month-to-month plan and paid for the service in advance. They either have to honor the contract or dump me as a customer and give me a refund on what was not used. It doesn't seem (legal) right in it's current form at all.

edit* The contract does not say I can only use xyz device with the data plan.
[Nexus One General] babluc:
Mine has been working again since last night, strange.

I'm on tzones. Hope they didn't change my data plan. From what I can gather they have not changed anything.
[Nexus One General] fzr-r4:
I'm on $10 web2go with Even More Plus (the newer no contract plan). Still works great with internet2.

For those keeping track, my usage is very low. I'm usually around wifi and usually have my N1 on "2G only" anyway for battery conservation. I only switch to 3G (which is insanely fast in HSPA+ locations) when browsing internet without wifi access.
[Nexus One General] norazi:
My $5 plan (tzones) has been working intermittently throught the last week... Sometimes it would go out for a couple hrs and sometimes for the whole day (get the upgrade your plan msg). Working fine right now. Tzones is pretty much the only reason I’m still with Tmobile and using the Nexus One (previously was using the iphone with tzones). If it finally hits the curb, ill probably switch to a newer android phone like the G2, GalaxyS, or Droid2.
[Nexus One General] hummeriah:
OK people. I haven't confirmed my new changes on my bill online or anything but here is my story.

I too have had the $5.99 t-zones for years--first with an Audiovox SMT5600 then an I-mate SP5, then the iPhone 3G, now the N1 (soon the MyTouch HD hopefully).

I too suffered the 24-48 hour outage sometime last year and thanks to reporting about the outage (I think it may have even hit Engadget or Gizmodo) I felt I could wait it out if it was down for everyone. I waited it out and strengthened my resolve and it has been working like a champ ever since. Until last week.

I had 1.5 days of outage then got online--saw to switch from epc to internet2 and that worked for me. Until 2 days ago. Yesterday the posts of broken t-zones were hitting Howard Forums and the XDA forums with alarming frequency.

I am also running the Google Voice and MyFaves hack with a legacy version of the GV app, so no internet for me means no email, no texts, and no easy way to make outgoing phone calls (except to call my own GV #, hit the prompts, then dial the new number I want to call).

Needless to say, I was fearful of not having service for any period of time.

I saw some good reports about the $20 Android plan and figured I'd give it a shot. The first CSR said I hit the right word when I said 'consider other options'--I never threatened and never really changed my tone from anything but amiable because seriously even @ $20 for data I'm not jumping ship.

She actually knew about the MyTouch coming out--through her husband though, not officially. She transferred me to retention. I discussed the upcoming phone and my issues and needing data and he actually make an incorrect statement in saying that I would have to go on contract to get the $20 data and so I should wait for the phone and get it subsidized since I would have to go on contract anyway.

I declined and decided to try again on the way home.

2nd try was met with success. Numerous confirmations that swapping $20 data for $5.99 t-zones would not extend the K since neither is a required service for an unlocked N1.

I did it.

Then you people started posting that t-zones was back up.

I about cried. I hate paying more money for something than I absolutely have to. I was willing to pay $20--while I thought it was the only option. It now seemed that wasn't the case and I was determined to do whatever I could to remedy that.

I borrowed a co-worker's Samsung Gravity (even has a T-zones section in the phone--PERFECT!) and left my SIM in it all morning til I could make the call after lunch.

1st CSR said she could definitely drop the $20 but couldn't give me back t-zones as I was grandfathered in. I asked very politely if there was anyone either in retention or tech support who could try and "undo the change I made less than 24hrs ago". She put me on hold for 3 minutes and came back saying I'd get a text that I have t-zones back.

Woo-hoo!
[Nexus One General] norazi:
yea i think the problem is that people jump to conclusions too quickly... usually you have to wait it out a week or two before dropping a grandfathered service... everyone gets all antsy and calls the CSR, etc when its probably just a maintenance thing going on.. even worse, all the extra attention it brings to the "loophole"
[Nexus One General] leyvatron:
Same thing happened to me... I changed my plan and missed my grandfather plan.... big mistake for dropping it. I called t-mobile and wanted my new plan cancelled and wanted my tzones 5.99 back. They asked me if I was using an android phone and I told them yes, I switch from a razr to my nexus. They tried to bump my internet to 20 bucks because of my nexus. I told her I don't want android internet cause I use wifi at home and at work. She didn't want to give it to me... but she then said okay, ill cancel your new plan and install tzones back. ;) I kept it nice and cool so maybe that helped too. :D
[Nexus One General] KROMO50:
I have a problem too. i switched to the $20 data plan but they lowered my text plan to the old $9.99. I had the old $5.99 tzones so that made the data plan like $14 but i also get 15% for being a lifetime member. So the guy told my rate will only go up like $2.75 but i wonder if i should call and get my $5.99 back. so i would save around $8 that would bring my bill down from $125.65 to $117.65 for 4 lines and the old 1000 min plan.
[Nexus One General] smachine:
I would keep the plan you have right now. You will be able to use any phone with your new data plan, so when a true successor to the N1 comes out you wont have issues if its a branded Tmobile device.
[Nexus One General] [IO]ERROR:
I have a feeling the issues you guys/gals are having might be tied to t-mo new plans coming out..

[Nexus One General] edtiva:
I was told by an inside source a few weeks back that they were dropping use of the .voicestream.com domain for an APN. They are cleaning house and getting rid of its use, so this may be part of some testing that we are seeing issues with multiple APN's on the cheap data plans.

[Nexus One General] KROMO50:
I LOVE T-MOBILE!!!!!! After all these T-zones problems I ended up getting my bill lowering and $25 and I got to keep my old $5.99 T-zones.
[Nexus One General] melmotion:
I've been using internet2 apn since 2005 on all my phones: Nokia n73, n900, and now nexus one. I've seen speed improvements lately clocking at 3.61 mbps download and 1.19 mbps uploads today compared to 1.15 mbps downloads and .21 mbps uploads a month ago. These speeds have been sufficient to stream Pandora and Youtube etc.

If you want a new phone without changing your plan then opt for a full price unlocked phone. I have the same plan since 2005 and will never change it. (1000 mins for $30 + unlimited data $10.00)

So when you get an unlocked phone, make sure it's Tmo 3g/4g compatible. Then go online and buy a SIM card only with voice plan and dumb phone data plan for $10.00. Once you get the SIM, activate it and log in to tmobile.com account to select a dumb phone from T mo's lineup as your device. Enter the internet2 apn and you're surfing for cheap.

T Mo has very good customer service and easier to deal with then others. Their service is excelent in SF Bay area comopared to those rotten apple users on AT&T.

I have exceeded the 5gb mark many times per month so waiting to see if my speeds are lowered in about 10 days under the new throttling plans by T Mo.
[Nexus One General] XfrostX:
How did you guys get the T-Zones plan back? I got a G2 and had to upgrade, but I returned it and the only thing they would give me is web2go since tzones was grandfathered. I even went to retention to ask :/
[Nexus One General] scrizz:
LOL@ people getting T-Zones and Web2Go mixed up1.
[Nexus One General] KROMO50:
Call cancel department
[Nexus One General] norazi:
i doubt tzones will work with the G2 since it doesnt work with the G1... the nexus is different becuase its sold by google, not tmobile
[Nexus One General] bpm2000:
seriously - 2 completely different plans people.
[Nexus One General] KROMO50:
if u call the cancel department and u had the old 5.99 t-zones u can get them back but they had to have been on your account.
[Nexus One General] alvinleephd:

Im in Corona too :) Right off Greenriver ;)
[Nexus One General] Deekayy:
I've been using this $10 plan aka T-mobile shadow plan ever since i heard it could be used with the Nexus One(back in January). So far its good.. I've been streaming, tethering, anything possible lol. I've read around that T-mobile changed their $10 plan to a limit of 200mb but it didn't seem to affect my plan at all. As for the speeds i get around 2.5~4.5mb download and i'm around Garden Grove, California. My speeds are good enough to stream the Manny vs Margarito fight today =].

That's why i'd never trade this nexus one for any other phone. Pay access for tethering? no thanks. pay $30 for data plan instead of $10? no thanks. if anything the $10 fails, i'm a valued customer to T-mobile and i can get data plan as low as $20.
[About XDA developers] Evostance:
I logged onto xda from my iPod this morning to find it was in a much neater layout.

Each "Category" was labelled for the brand ie Sony, HTC, Acer etc with the brand logo in it.

Then there were sub-forums for each device.

This was a much nicer layout than seeing every device and image in no particular order.

Was this just a test of something or is it only for mobile browsers?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p0wd3r:
Hello, I have an N1 with the Innovation OS! v4.0.0 [FRF91] image, I'm getting OTA notices like every 10 minutes asking me to update to the 2.2.1 thing. I use my phone as my clock by my bed, and the updater thing pops up over it and won't go away. I've tried installing the update, and read through many threads about it, and I don't want to unroot my phone so I can root it again just to apply this update.

How can I turn off the system updates option? Can this be done? When there are more ROMs with the FRG83 junk in them, I'll flash it then...

I've seen this question asked a few times by a few people in various threads about the 2.2.1 update, but I haven't seen it answered yet... I'm sorry if it already has been, just point me to the thread...

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IamMartin:
As we all know the FPS on the Desire is terrible at 720p recording and pretty shocking on 800x480 recording in bad light.

I tried a Samsung Wave, and even its 720p recording was better than the Desire.

Surely, there's a way for you amazing developers on XDA to somehow limit the framerate (force minimum framerate) on the video camera right?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichoko:
Since non of the cooks from various custom ROMs has made any significant difference in the HD recording, I suppose it has something to do with the codecs that have been chosen by HTC to support the HD recording and ofcourse wether it has been optimized to run smoothly on our Snapdragons.. I am eager to see the HD samples of the Sense 2.0 interface.. If i can judge by a youtube video which claimed to be recorded from the Desire Z.. we should have a fu***ing awesome HD feature on our way ;)

*note* except of the perfect framerates i saw on the video.. the audio was excelent too! not even close to the crap we have now...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
its simply because of our gpu, it dosent have the power to encode 720p proply .... the samsung hummingbird even tho the cpu is the same clockspeed, the power VR gpu that it usually comes with is far more powerfull than adreno, the desire z uses the 2nd generation of snapdragon, and has a much better gpu than us
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichoko:
I suppose you are right.. but hope dies last.. maybe HTC will pull an ace out of its sleeve and optimize the HD video recording.. at least make it more smooth and with better audio even if its not truly 720p..

I'm unsure if this is in the right area of the forum, so I ask that you guys forgive me. The meat of my problem is simple, I've been told and have seen that Bugless Beast is a great ROM for the HTC Evo. The only problem is that I cannot find the rom anywhere. I've been to other sites that claim to have it, but then they fail during flashing (unless I'm the one at fault, then much egg on my face). Is there anyone in the forum that can help this poor noob out in finding the real BB ROM, and also (for safety sake) help me with some steps to get it installed

Many thanks in advance!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ICEReaction:
Doing a simple search of the XDA forums results in this: [ROM] Bugless Beast V0.4 (AOSP, FLAC, SCRIPTS, & MORE)

But looking at the very last post, doesn't seem like the download links are working or the guy is supporting it anymore.

Another search through Google led me to the guy's site: http://www.peteralfonso.com/p/bugless-beast.html

Seems like he's only working on Droid ROMs.
