[Galaxy Tab General] Alcibiade:
Let's hold this conversation once the US networks have actually rolled out their 4G offerings on a large scale :)

For the moment what I see are frequent dropped calls on AT&T and rather slow actual download speeds (in NYC)

But in the end I hope you're right, I dont plan to live in japan or Korea any time soon :)
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
I think you'll find that the US allowances arent as generous as you think.

For starters, in the US, you pay for incoming calls from your allowance so those cold calls actually cost you.

Up until the end of last year I had a Verizon data service which I used when I was in the US, and it cost around £50 for a mere 5GB. It was much more expensive than the TMo UK, 3 and Vodafone data services I use in the UK, and no faster.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] Step666:
I know how US call and text allowances work, I never said those allowances were quite good just the data ones.

That said, Three have made a statement that if Ofcom removes termination charges completely, which would lead to a US-style system whereby users were charged for every call received as well as made, that they would offer a £30/month completely unlimited tariff.

So maybe the US system isn't as bad as you think, just that it lacks the more competitive nature of the UK market.

Wow, 'a mere 5GB' merely 10x the standard data bundle offered by O2 (and consequently Tesco) and Vodafone, or the allowance offered on some of Orange's or Three's plans.

True, Orange offer 750MB on some plans and Three offer 1GB on some of their tariffs but the only UK network that gets anywhere nears the US ones is T-Mobile who give you 3GB/month FUP for Android devices.

As for it costing you nearly £50/month, Verizon's smartphone data bundle is a 5GB FUP and is $29.99/month, which is more like £18-19.

It's not to say that you weren't paying that much, just that if you were you were being ripped off which has no bearing on the points I made.

Even if we don't wait though, the US is really no further behind the likes of Japan and Korea (who I presume you were referring to when you said that networks in Asia are more advanced).

I know it's easier said that done but if I were you, I'd look to swap networks if I were getting coverage like that.

Didn't Sprint/Clearwire activate WiMax in NY recently?
[Galaxy Tab General] beestee:
How feasable is VoiP on the Tab? The way I see it, I pay for unlimited an data service, pay for a VoiP number, and I am set. Even when travelling abroad, i would simply just need to find WiFi to make use of the phone features.

I am inexperienced with VoiP and Android, but plan to become well acquainted with both here in a few days. Hopefully I wasn't too ambitious in my speculation.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
Fortunately, I'm on T-Mobile! :) That being said, if there was an O2 signal where I live/work, I'd go for GiffGaff prepaid, where unlimited means unlimited (allegedly).

I said Verizon data service - as in a mobile broadband plan. At the time this cost over 3 times what my Three mobile broadband costs for a third of the data (5GB vs 15GB). Even today this still costs $59.99, which is 2.5 times what I pay Three.

Talking of smartphone plans though, to get something "similar" to my £30 TMo plan on Verizon would cost $110 a month (or around £70).

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] Step666:
I looked at GiffGaff a while back and I'm sure it said at the time that their data bundles were going to switch to a fixed allowance at some point, in line with O2's own bundles changing.

But it was a while back now and it looks like their site has changed.

The data allowances are why I'm sticking with T-Mobile too.

If need be, you can always pay extra and get the 10GB FUP allowance instead of the 3GB one.
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
One of my biggest fears with "Everything Everywhere" is that at some point they will align the allowances on the Orange and TMo plans and if that happens I'd be prepared to bet that the new plans will be more like Orange and less like TMo!

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] Step666:
That's still a while away.

The customer-facing elements of the company will be last to change, there's a lot of technical aspects need to be addressed first.

I for one would hope that T-Orange will use their position as market leader as well as the costs saved by merging and the network-share agreement with Three (and cost saving associated with that) to push forward the development of their data network.

I mean, there's already talk of Everything Everywhere and Three carrying their sharing agreement over into 4G territory as well as just 3G, so as to spread the cost out as widely as possible and thus diminish the biggest stumbling block to the roll-out of LTE.

We'll just have to wait and see though.
[Galaxy Tab General] brucewilsonpa:
FWIW I've had a Euro version Galaxy Tab for over a week and connected it to AT&T in the US -- works fine (I'm in the East but the entire East Coast is blanketed with their 1900 -- much better coverage than T-Mo 1700). I have both voice and data which operate quite well -- I added this phone to my existing iPhone account for ~$50 more (before my company discount) -- that covers up to 2G of data but because these phones tend to prioritize on wifi, connecting whenever they have a strong enough signal, I've found I have never exceeded the 2G on my iPhone and probably won't with my GT either, although I realize I'm more likely to surf and download with the GT so there's a risk. In any event, for other US folks contemplating the move, if you can swallow the higher cost (which will probably come down once the carriers start shipping their versions), this is definitely a super device. Better form factor and much better weight than my iPad -- it might even replace that one of these days (but first I want to check out IOS 4.2).
[Galaxy Tab General] Alcibiade:
Data plans are cheaper in japan and HK (Or at least were last year...). If you read studies US plans seem to be the most expensive worldwide (I don't remember where I reda that though).

As far as Korea or Japan not being ahead anymore. Maybe. But actual downlowad speeds I was having in japan on 3G were clearly higher than what I have in NYC (Granted the network is saturated here. But Tokyo has 3 times more inhabitants)

Sprint/Clearwire ? Nope thanks... I travel frequently to Asia and Europe, so for me it's GSM or nothing (CDMA makes no sense if you go often outside North America)
[Galaxy Tab General] Step666:
I'd suggest T-Mobile but I think you'd end up tearing your hair out in frustration ;)
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
I suspect you read it here!

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] Step666:
That comparison is so far from being meaningful it's not even funny.

They're not comparing similar plans - the US plan they highlight is for 450 minutes, the UK one is for 100.

Also, since when have we paid $7.70/month for 75 texts on a contract? You can get tariffs that include unlimited texts for as little as £10/month.

I think we can all agree this statement is complete BS:
[Galaxy Tab General] Alcibiade:
It could work... I was told however their coverage in the US is not that good (Not to say AT&T is great anyway). I am pretty agnostic on this :)
[Galaxy Tab General] Alcibiade:
Actually somewhere else, but the study you pointed to is probably the original one (And gives tons of interesting details and some weird stuff (or shall i call them bull**** ?))
[Galaxy Tab General] Alcibiade:
yes you're right
[Galaxy Tab General] nrfitchett4:
depends on where you are. If you are in a decent sized city/town, t-mobile is fine. I think in the rural areas you might have a harder time, but in areas with no t-mobile coverage, you are supposed to be able to bounce onto at&t (but only in areas with no t-mobile coverage).
[Galaxy Tab General] tongtech@yahoo.com:
have some one use ouko 7" tablet for AT&T ? which is selling in ebay. about $170.

if do, ps post some info.
[Galaxy Tab General] MikeCriggs:
If It's an unlocked gsm tablet/phone with a sim card then you should be able to.

Dell Stage (Streak's upcoming froyo launcher)

Video preview

I just read out about it at http://goo.gl/YncFW and I kinda liked it, so thought I'd share it here on xda.

I have done no modifications. So it would also work on some other phones.

I only tested on my desire.

hope u like it :D

Pff looks really nice, works smooth to!

Only thing is i cannot sign into Facebook...entered the correct username+password. Says it's incorrect...

One other thing, when i press the phone icon in the launcher bar it says that the needed application isn't installed. Can i clear these settings to use stock Desire dialer? Or can i download the Dell dialer somewhere?
[Desire Themes and Apps] charliebigpot:
It looks really nic, but I'm having the same issues (facebook problem+phone icon) + when I try to set up an email account it says "com.dell.launcher has stopped unexpectedly"..

would be great to be able to scroll upd and down in the music widget instead of showing 12 random albums..
[Desire Themes and Apps] kiltedrunner:
It wont recognise the phone app because the froyo launcher only recognises the stock Android dialer, which can't be installed on HTC phones. Made a thread on this, Google search stock froyo launcher HTC desire and its the first one. Haven't tried it with this dell skin yet, just got everything sorted on my on phone so not gonna mess with it for a good while!

I'm a n00b with this stuff and I'm just starting to get into .apk's and ROM's deeper, but looking through the .apk, there are some .xml's in /res/xml that reference com.htc.preference.HtcPreferenceScreen (not in our EVO's) so I am downloading the MyTouch4G dump to see if I can grab that and integrate it into the EVO.

This is really a job for someone other than me who knows more about this but I will give it a shot and see what I can find.

Hello everyone, I have a situation atm with the 4g on my evo . Just like a week ago I flashed my first Rom - myns 2.2 with kings 11. Then like a couple days later I flashed the pri to 1. 77 and baseband to.09 because they were outdated. All was good even 4g worked for a good while until today. I restart the phone and it connects but after a min or so it turns off, than I try to reconnect but it fails.

Did anyone else have this problem? And anyone that did find a solution?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbopanonymous:

nah.. theres a post in hacking & dev that lists all the PRI and radios, i used that.. you might just wanna go under settings. update profile and PRL. that might do the trick.. i reverted back to 1.34 from 1.70 because of download speeds.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenKnight:
if this doesnt work for you, try using the settings, not the toggle switch.

another tip is to revert back to the stock rom you did a nand backup on, and then reflash the zip file again to full the 4g along with the rsa certs, just so you dont lose them. but remember mostly sense-based custom roms are 4g capable...so far
