This is unbelievable

I've been a Rogers Customer for over 8years. My average bill is about $100 a month, for 8 years. Yet loyalty means nothing with this company. I consider 8 years to be along time. (especially with the current market for cellphones)

MY STORY

I was "duped" into upgrading my phone recently to a HTC Magic, before i went ahead and agreed to the Magic, I researched the phone on the internet, the specs where great, the Android software too. I was assured by the guy on the phone (ROGERS EMPLOYEE) that this phone would recieve all the OS updates in a timely fashion. WRONG.

I proceeded to install my own OS on the phone, as its MY PHONE. However in doing so I had my Data cut off. Which I'm paying for, $30.00 a month.

Of coarse the Online Waiver didn't work, so I called Rogers on Monday 8th Nov 2010, at 8.00pm, after the usual 40min hold time, I explained to the tech what happened, he told me he would enter my IMEI and i'd have Data once i pull the battery from the phone, and restart it. LIE.

Tuesday morning, Today, still no Data, called Rogers before going to work. I need the DATA for my work, emails and whatever. I was told by a tech 3-5 business days.

So if Rogers can just cut me off. Everyone this happens to should recieve a credit for the days they have not got DATA!! I still haven't signed any waiver, yet Ive been cut off!!??

ALSO IF ROGERS HAVE CUT OFF MY DATA AND CANT PUT IT BACK ON FOR 3-5 BUSINESS DAYS (SUPPOSEABLY) THEN WHAT IF I MISS AN IMPORTANT EMAIL, AND LOSE A CONTRACT BECAUSE OF IT, REMEMBER I STILL HAVEN'T SIGNED ANY WAIVER, YOU HAVE JUST CUT ME OFF!! WHO'S THEN RESPONSEABLE??

It shouldn't be that hard, I can tell you my IMEI over the phone, why cant the Tech handle this, makes no sense??

IM DISGUSTED. NOT MY FAULT YOU GUYS CANT KEEP UP WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD WHEN IT COMES TO ANDROID.

ITS MY PHONE!!! I CAN DO WHAT I LIKE!! I CAN STILL MAKE 911 CALLS. I HAVE ANDROID 2.2. THE PROBLEM WAS WITH 1.5.

SO WHY AM I BEING PUNISHED?? 8 YEAR CUSTOMER?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] JohnnyP.akaJP:
Hmm..Sounds like my case. I pay 110 dollars a month, for T-mobile. Their customer suppose wont even help me activate my phone. I pay for data, but I cant ACTIVATE it with data. Which PISSES me off, Because I dont even use it alot. Ive been a customer for about 5 years. Atleast they should have gave me a new sim card in the mail, so I have some"hope" inside of me. Now I need to find a way to somehow "Bypass" the gmail activation. (none of my friends have T-mobile)

and do we get wm 6.5 ? i can see there is a stable working 6.1 rom cant we upgrade this to 6.5 ? :)
[Streak 5 General] mssmison:
As the title says. I'm looking at picking up a streak, one of the beta ones. I know they have at&t issues. but is there anything else I should be aware of?

Are they known to have any issues?

Any known hardware defects?
[Streak 5 General] cue_32:
Im using it with Rogers here in Toronto... been using it since August. No difference between the Beta and Retail. If anything, it's better because I never saw most of the issues others have been complaining about with any of custom ROMS. Also, by default you are able to install third party apps where AT&T locked it out.

Just so you know though... Rogers IS coming out with it any day now.
[Streak 5 General] mssmison:
I feel silly for not knowing that.. I wonder if it'll be locked to rogers?
[Streak 5 General] Bizzach:
I'm using mine on TMO in the US. No problems, functionality-wise. 2.1 O2 ROM. The silver "Dell" logo on back came off in the extreme Texas heat, but that's no biggie. It works like a charm. :)
[Streak 5 General] mssmison:
interesting.. you can purchase it now from dell.ca btw. Though it says it's a SIM FREE DEVICE for rogers only.

http://www.dell.com/ca/p/mobile-streak/pd
[Streak 5 General] gilrad:
One thing to note about the betas is they are under absolutely NO warranty. So if your device fails after buying it, its time to buy a new one. And if the seller's device fails, well, that's probably why he's selling it.
[Streak 5 General] mssmison:
Looks like dell updated the page and removed the sim free statement.. The price is pretty great.. Just need to find out if it can be unlocked like the at&t one with the card.. Anyone ordered one yet?
[Streak 5 General] cue_32:
FYI....MAYBE OUTDATED but you get an idea.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerin:
i currently got an upgrade on my line for the mytouch 4g. i don't know if i should return it and buy the phone instead. being stuck two years with the data plans kinda scares me. i was on even more plus before when i had my nexus one and it felt better to know i can cancel my data plan whenever.

one of the reason i signed a contract was because i'm in a family plan with my parents. since they've already signed a two years contract, i have to wait for another two years before i can be on my own.

so i'm thinking, which one is better for me? even tho i wasn't on a contract before, i still have to wait two years for my parents contract to expired. so it basically the same thing without the data plan add on. (except they added another 5 to my account now. the data plan was only 25 dollars before. now it's 30.)

should i return the phone and just buy it outright? but i don't think tmobile sells insurance if you just buy the phone tho. it kinda risky knowing that it could break down any second.

thanks in advance.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaww:
Tmo does offer insurance. As for your plan, you could try calling and talking with customer retention and tell them you are ONLY thinking of returning it. They might offer you a deal where you return it and get one from them directly (got mine for $99, and the plan for $20).

If you got that deal and canceled down the road , you would still be better off than simply buying the phone full price now ($99 plus cancellation charge is less).

Good luck
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tigerin:
thanks! i've just called them and the lady there was willing to put my data plan back down to 25 dollars and offered one month free of data. she seem nice and helpful, so i don't want to give her a hard time and push more.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theinternot:
I bought mine off contract. They give you 20 months to pay @ 0% interest.

So, if you pay the $199 + tax on the full price that is approx. $250...

I paid $450 + tax ... approx. $500

The subsidized plan that I am on would be $79/month, but I am paying only $59 with no contract... a difference of $20 a month.

My monthly phone payment is about $25/month..... buying outright is cheaper than contract pricing for the full 2 year term:

Subsidized price after 2 years = $199 price + $50 tax on full purchase price +$480 (24 x $20 more for subsidized plan) = $729 + ongoing $20 month more after 2 years that is not paying for anything... just gravy for the carrier.

Full purchase price = $450 + $50 = $500. cancel anytime. sell phone. walk away.

In addition, I also got them to give me a $90 credit on my account... basically getting the sales tax back and activation fee refunded... AND they don't start billing for the phone until 2011.

**This is of course if you stay with the same phone and plan for 2 years and you don't change your plan once your contract is up.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PolishDude:
sure they will, jsut say you want to buy it with a even more plus plan...they will open the plan for you...as soon as you leave the store, call tmobile and cancel the plan.... easy :D
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheeze[iT]:
I've bought both my G2 and MT4G from tmobile straight up. Both are on installment plans. Sold the G2, and now debating about the MT4G. I like the fact that we can pay ~$20 a month for the phone rather than $500 out right. The only time I feel I wished I had a plan with equipment discounts is when they do BOGO, other than that, I like the cheaper monthly rates.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaww:
I still think a good price on the phone ($99-149) and plan from retention is the best (unless you have one of those vintage $4.99 plans that some are still using on N1's).

As long as you are using the phone and plan going forward, you are ahead (assuming your data plan would be either lower than your current plan or not much more). If you want to eBay it - then you would have the cancellation charge. Combined with a good phone price, you are still ahead.

And if you were going to stay with the TMo data plan anyway - you would be way ahead.

I had even considered getting TMo to unlock the MT4G (I always do), and keeping my N1 and selling it on eBay.

With it rooted, am now probably looking at eBaying the N1 and keeping this.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dbh369:
I had a strange issue recently with my build (below). I had a 'normal' data freeze and rebooted, but when I did, apparently a message was waiting and some appointment on my calendar was due. This seemed to really slow down WM and HaRET ran very slowly before booting Android. However, after Android booted, the touchscreen was locked and wouldn't slide out of the way. In fact, the screen darkened and shut off just as if I wasn't touching the screen at all. I did receive a phone call, which worked, but touchscreen was still unresponsive.

So I tried rebooting again. This seemed to lock up JMZ Dual Boot and not allow me to boot up Android. Moreover, it locked my touchscreen in WM! I have pocketshield installed, and after cover screen showed up, I couldn't move it away. I tried rebooting, taking the battery out for 5 minutes, etc. and no luck.

Ultimately, I resolved this by a HARD RESET of the phone. :mad: Lost my windows setup which will take some time to repair, but since I use Android most of the time, maybe it doesn't matter? :confused:

Anyway, posted this in case others are having this problem, maybe there's a theme.

editted: ok, touchscreen stopped responding again, in WM and Android, while the unit was just sitting on my desk. I'm now thinking hardware problem...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] anoschka666:
yes i have the same problem since a ~week. NO TOUCHSCREEN... i have flashed maybe 100 different roms, but no luck... even when i install the original vodafone rom with radio and downgrade to spl 1.48 it doesnt work... this must be an android issue i think.

yesterday i was in the vodafone shop and they give me an NEW HD2 :)))))).

now im waiting for an solution about that problem and hope someone will fix it. untill that i will stay on WM6.x. i dont think, i will get another new HD2^^

sorry about my bad english! im german...

ps: when i started the hd2 there was an picture of an WORLD MAP for ~one second. maybe this helps. i think there is something in the front of the orange screen. something with "yes" or "no" option. but i cant see it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randycmj98:
I just notice that SGS fail at sorting image.

Example, I have lots of image about 150 of them.

When i view them in "My Files"

Its arrange like this . filename01.jpg to filename150.jpg.

After filename10.jpg should be filename11.jpg instead of giving me filename100.jpg. So on and so forth (filename11.jpg ~ filename110.jpg)

Its seem to be they are sorting the first 2 digit .

No matter now i arrange my file as in "number with brackets example(10), or zero then digit example,"010""

Any idea how to fix that or any other better way as in rename my files?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grantanz:
So are you saying it goes like this?

filename01.jpg

...

filename09.jpg

filename10.jpg

filename100.jpg <- here you expect filename11.jpg

filename101.jpg <- here you expect filename12.jpg

If so, I would say your problem is that you have two-digit numbers for some of your filenames and three-digit numbers for others - the sort algorithm lists all those that start with filename0, then all those that start with filename1, and so on.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randycmj98:
So. Any other way to sort them so they won't sort this way ?

I rearrange my file again using Filename1.jpg - Filename150.jpg

In SGS it sorted like this

Filename1.jpg

Filename10.jpg

Filename100.jpg.

Argh! this stuff is so irritate ~
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grantanz:
It should be fine if you're able to rename them all to use the same number of digits, as in:

filename001.jpg

filename002.jpg

...

filename010.jpg

filename011.jpg

...

filename099.jpg

filename100.jpg

...

etc.

In my Alarm Settings i only have the following options:

- Alarm in Silent Mode

- Alarm Volume

- Snooze Duration

- Side Button Behaviour

- And when i press menu nothing happens

Please can someone help me
[Desire General] 3722:
You can disable the vibration when you're setting an alarm.

First you have "description" then "alarm sound", "repeat" and the last (you have to scroll down either with touch or with the trackpad) is the "vibration".

If this doesn't suit you, search the market for some alarm apps.

I've noticed running the Sony 2.1 Home Screen that the transpararent background of the FolderOrganizer containers looks A LOT better than it use to.

EDIT: Ok with the high quality scrolling on it looks normal anytime I'm scrolling pages. So I have HQ but only when scrolling then it is low quality when you release the screen. What the hell.

[Liquid S100 Android Development] kenship:
Before I upgrade to 2.2, I used Universal Androot and removed some stock apps (using Titanium backup).

I was worried that I might not be able to upgrade it to 2.2 stock. So I do the followings:

1. Used Universal Androot to revert the phone to unroot status

2. Installed the stock apps back to the phone

3. Removed Universal Androot (just in case)

And I successfully upgraded to 2.2, no problem whatsoever.

Then I used Titanium Backup to uninstall all Acer apps (except Acer Registration, which I don’t know how to remove), Tasks, RoadSync, Urfooz, Spinlets, Email, even the Android keyboard (I use the hacked HTC Touch IME for 2.2).

Now the phone loads fast!

BTW, some apps will still show itself after the above procedures, use “Manage applications” in “Settings” to remove it again.
[Liquid S100 Android Development] split2th:
You need to root your phone. You need to install "Malez recovery" it's easy. I don't think you guys realize how easy it is, there is an installer. Just put your phone in usb debugging mode, install your phone drivers, plug in your phone, install Malez. Instructions are on his page. Then you can use titanium backup the get rid of crapware and do backups. Don't bother with task killer aps unless your really know what you're killing. You could do more harm than good.

While I agree especially considering there IS an iPhone theme. Apple fanboys (well any "fanboy") are no better and IMO more often worse. There is a fanboy for just about everything. The problem is they usually are wrong and regurgitate bad info

Personally I feel apple gets a reputation for innovation by simply taking something that already exists polishing it up to look nice and locking it down so it runs smooth. Then they sucker everyone in with the next version that has features the original should have had and other manufacturers already have.

At least when it comes to the mobile devices

Sure they are good and often better than others. But far from the best and not innovative

It's extremely annoying when some people say this. Just buying an iPhone may not be an option if you're not in a position to do so (I wanted an iPhone but could not use AT&T due to contractual obligations with Sprint). Answer the question or move on if you can't. Some people enjoy Apple's aesthetics--deal with it!

That said--I'll reiterate what others have posted--try the MIUI rom, it's reminiscent of an iPhone's interface. Another thing you can do is to download iPhone screen shots and get some widgets that match the clock and some of the icons and wallpaper, it's going to take some work though. The iPhone's icons are out there, I've seen them but never downloaded them. Use something like Launcher PRO or ADW to replace icons. Download the iPhone sounds from the market--I have those.

The wonderful thing about Android is it's dynamic and flexible interface capabilities. You can essentially make your phone look like any cell phone interface you like, WinMO, iOS, Blackberry, etc... Ejoy this device!
