confirmed by an att rep.... if youre within the 30 day period and are eligible or you add a line, they will restock your phone and resell it to you and you get the new one... just a restock fee, but well worth the free phone.... did mine this eve, took 10 min to get it done... good deal on a solid set of phones...
[Focus General] Deleted member 2842059:
Good for you guys!!

I'm stuck so no deals for me since I'm not in the upgrade timeframe. Unless someone wants to sell thier free Focus for a nice holiday discount?
[Focus General] roymojojojo:
I had bought 2 focuses (foci?) at 2 seperate ATT stores about a week apart from each other. I went to one store and got the money credited back to my credit card. I then received a call from the second store and they told me they would credit the account the amount of one of the phones since they noticed I had bought 2 phones within a week of each other.
[Focus General] aegis94:
If someone wants to sell the one he got for free at a fair price, please let me know :)

$75 off at ATT online | Windows Phone Forums

I haven't been able to make it work, but I thought I'd post just in case.
[Focus General] Aaron McCarthy:
That's fairly similar as to how I got my fuze... they had some promo going on and they had a programming glitch where you could put the coupon on multiple times... which I did. I got that phone for free. A year later when I got my tilt 2 my wife got it for 100 dollars upfront and then AT&T sent me a $50.00 visa gift card, so really the phone was 50 dollars. HTC at the time had this promo where they would accept ANY smart phone trade in when you bought a tilt 2 and they'd pay you 100 dollars. I sent in my HTC Vouge and they gave me 100 dollars... so really I got paid 50 dollars for getting a new phone.

Then once this promo came along, well suffice to say my wife just rolled her eyes... yet another free phone :P
[Focus General] williammel:
Does this only work if you purchased it at a real AT&T store? I bought my focus at a 'CellularWorld' about 15 days ago.
[Focus General] Deleted member 2842059:
Correct. As far as I understand. You could try returning your Focus and re-purchasing at your local AT&T?

Nobody interested in selling your second Focus?
[Focus General] Biggzz:
I am just guessing that you cant get another one for free if you purchased it off contract...IS it only with a new line or contract to get the free phone?
[Focus General] eknutson:
I've contacted AT&T about this. You MUST get a new line OR upgrade an existing line that is eligible for upgrade. Since I want to give the free phone to my dad, they did say 2 things that kept my interest though:

they can be flexible on 'eligibility'

I can transfer the phone to my dad's account, as long as he's eligible and an existing AT&T subscriber

One other thing - gotta do it within the 30 day grace period.

How much each store follows these rules, of course, would depend on the store ;)
[Focus General] foxbat121:
Correct. Two-year contract and data plan are required on both lines. AT&T makes minimum $600 ($15 data + $10 add a line = $25/mo minimum) over two year period off you per phone. That's how they can afford to give you one for free.
[Focus General] panzerxschreck23:
I'm planning to upgrade my phone n get me a Focus, since it's BOGO deal right now. I'm wondering if this plan will work or not. Currently Im in a family plan and my dad is able to upgrade his phone too and planing to give the 2nd phone to him. however, since he's a tech noob im going to go head take the phone, but cancel his data plan so he can use his old phone. Then just sell the 2nd phone. do you think AT&T will allow me to do this, since my dad would not use the Focus.

My sister had done this before, she got an iPhone n hate it. So she use her old phone, canceled the data plan and sell her iphone on eBay.
[Focus General] TomH123:
I didn't even have to go through that much hassle. I told them I'd bought the first one in the last 30 days and they gave me a second one for free. They did charge an $18 upgrade fee on the line I upgraded but they didn't make me go through any "resell" or "restock" ordeal. They just put in a promo code for it and gave it to me.
[Focus General] Reflexx1:
Amazon is selling the phones for $.01 with a 2 yr plan.

For 2 qualified plans, that's a whopping $.02. Just a tad better than AT&T's BOGO deal.

:D
[Focus General] TomH123:
Take a look at the fine print for things like the early termination fee. Don't fool yourself into thinking that Amazon is only making $.01 on the phone.
[Focus General] Aaron McCarthy:
yep not only do you get dinged with an early termination fee from ATT but one from Amazon as well... I think Amazon's is bigger then ATT's actually. Not to mention I believe you only get that on new lines.... not ones you are adding onto an existing family plan. I could be wrong here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meligy:
Hey there,

I have a Galaxy S I9000T outright from Telstra. I was so glad to find a Froyo/Android2.2 ROM on SamFirmware that supports Arabic very well (my native language, most ROMs don't support it well), and the upgrade also brought slightly better performance, etc..

However, since the I9000T model had only 8 GB internal SD, I also bought another 8GB SD to use as external (I don't save a lot of files saved on the phone, mostly browsing and tweeting and having few files playlist usually replaced quick).

Now, I notice the internal SD is something like 1.5+ GB used for phone storage and 5.5+ GB available to me to use. I no longer need that. Would love to increase the phone storage part to take up most if not all the internal SD storage (you know not all apps are available to move to external SD, plus it's annoying when I mount it to my computer for storage).

I know I won't be really removing it (to allow place for future use of update.zip) but at least make it as small as 1.x GB and give the rest space to phone storage.

Can I shrink the other internal SD partition (the one I can access without rooting) and increase the root phone storage without having to re-flash my happy already-configured ROM and losing any apps, etc... ?

Description

This mod is very simple in that it switches the H and 3G icons so the 3G files are still embedded into the firmware, however, they will never be addressed by your phone.

Instructions

1. Unzip with a file manager like Astro

2. Apply using Metamorph by choosing the enclosed XML file

-Enjoy
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junkdruggler:
haha

if you want your phone to "accurately" tell you if you have hspa coverage then go to settings, about phone, status... its under mobile network type...

I did the same thing with the G, E, and 3G on my g1 to mess around with a friend... doesnt mean I was actually in an hspa area
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] TJD319:
No no, I understand all this, I didn't mean to come off so naive as I did. I do work for T-Mobile Tech Care and I fully get all that. My phone does get HSPDA in the Settings area in which you spoke. And there's an app called Mobile Signal Widget free on the market that does an amazing job of accurately letting you know what network you are connected to and the strength as well. Anyway, sorry I just wanted to clarify:

I made this because the Vibrant itself will only ever display 3G even when it's HSPDA (not HSPA+). I think it's only fair for people to have the option to show H when they are actually in H coverage. I know when I'm in real 3G areas it will say H, but I live and commute in a highly HSPA+ area, and at home I'm pulling in 5-7mb/s on average even when tethering.

Sorry for the rant, I typed the first post on my phone and I came to spice it up now on my laptop.

any other suggestions?
[XPERIA X10 General] guney:
For a phone misplaced at home, you can simply dial your own number to get the phone to ring; let's not be silly. (Even if you don't have another phone at home, if you have a computer from which you plan to be accessing any app on your phone, you can equally easily e-mail or IM a friend to ring your number.)

For a phone that was left at a public place or stolen, you probably want Prey.

[XPERIA X10 General] sungrad:
I use wheres my droid. You text it a code and it will either make your phone ring (even if out is on silent) or turn your gps on and send you a google maps link to its location.

Its pretty good, used it quite a few times!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] thedudevt:
Here's how I got my gTab to do GPS navigation using the GPS and 3G network from my Droid1 (android) phone.

Warning! This takes time to get set up, do us all a favor and don't try to do this while driving. We need you here to discover other clever hacks ;)

Oh yeah, this absolutely sucks battery from your phone. make sure the phone is plugged in.

You'll need to set up two connections between your gTab and data phone: Wireless Tether and Bluetooth GPS.

I'll assume both devices are rooted. I don't know which mod I have on my phone, but on the gtab, I have TnT Lite v2.00. If this works on other mods, please post.

Setup on the Phone:

Install WirelessTether (free from the market) This creates a wireless Ad-Hoc AP that your gTab can connect to for internet access.

Install ShareGPS (free from the market) This outputs the GPS signal over bluetooth your gTab can connect to for GPS data.

Setup on the gTab:

Patch /system/bin/wpa_supplicant - see here for details - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=754961 This allows the gTab to connect to Ad-Hoc (as opposed to Infrastructure) wireless APs. I personally extracted the file from the zip file in the link and overwrote the one in my gTab using Root Explorer.

Go to Setting->Applications->Development and check "Allow Mock Locations"

Install Bluetooth GPS (free from the market)

Once you've got the apps installed, you can try it out.

Pair your phone and gTab:

Turn on Bluetooth on the phone.

Settings->Wireless & networks->Bluetooth Settings Check Discoverable

On the gTab, Settings->Wireless & networks->Bluetooth Settings Check Scan for devices.

Click on your phone to pair

Click "Pair" on the Pair Request popup on both the phone and gTab.

You only have to do this part once.

Start the Tether:

On the Phone, Start Wireless Tether. Press the screen to start the tether.

Turn on Wi-Fi if it's not on already

On the gTab, go to Settings->Wireless & networks->Wi-Fi Settings

connect to (*)AndroidTether

Start the GPS Sharing:

On the Phone, run ShareGPS - Wait for a GPS fix, you'll see a LAT/LONG on the screen.

On the gTab start Blutooth GPS, Check the box for "Enable Mock GPS Provider", Select your phone and Press Connect

You should now see GPS data in the Main Tab.

Click the Map Tab and see your location on the map! W00t!

Start Google Maps

You know it from here. Navigation works, but I think the mic might not be up to the task for voice search.

Big Thanks to roebeet, and eveyone else for making this possible.

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] switt:
Very cool! Works great on my phone, Evo, w/o mods since Android tether has infrastructure mode and tablet with CM B4.

You werent kidding about battery use. I have 4G going, BT, and Wireless. Power usage fluctuates between 550 and 750 Ma.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] LeviathanUltima:
sweet! thanks, I got the bluegps for droid which works on my N1. If you have N1 you do not have to install all those ad-hoc crap.

Here is what I did with my N1

N1: install shareGPS beta (free)

g-tablet:download and install blue-gps for droid

google bluetooth gps and click on sourceforge version

1) turn on bluetooth on both and pair with g-tablet.

2) turn on gps on N1

3) turn on tethering on N1

4) enable mock location on G-tablet

5) open maps and navigate!

then you are done!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] shdwknt:
why do you need to hookup the wifi on the phone and tab - if you are using GPS via bluetooth?? that makes no sense to me..
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Turbo4V:

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] katmandu421:
Hmm, I'm not seeing any "enable mock GPS provider" in free bluetooth GPS version. Is that a feature of the paid version?

I'm connected and my EVO is sending data according to ShareGPS but Bluetoothe GPS on the tab just sits and waits for a fix.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ranjumathew:
Katmandu421: you need to enable that in your settings -> applications -> development menu.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ranjumathew:
Is anyone looking at getting the GPS data by WIFI? Since we have to make a WIFI connection to the phone anyway, it would be nice if we could transfer the GPS data using the same method, thereby reducing the number of components that could cause problems.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] LeviathanUltima:
Actually bluetooth gps is the best solution since there are myraid of bluetooth gps devices out there. Moreover, gps data via bluetooth is proven to work. Wifi would require you to set up another port to handle gps information. I suppose it can be done...

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] aaron19953:
Just a quick FYI

Using a Droid(1) w/

Wireless Tether

ShareGPS

G-Tab (tnt2) w/

Bluetooth GPS (app)

About every 5 seconds or so, my tab would show me out in the ocean for a millisecond, and then back to the location. On the droid within ShareGPS>Settings> set "Create NMEA" to ON. This solved the problem immediately.

When I connected my TeleNav GPS (instead of the Droid) i didn't have this problem as it already transmits NMEA data.

thanks for the tips guys !! The lack of GPS is one of the few things i was disappointed about having to live with, NOT NOW !!! yaaahoo..

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] myndwire:
i had the same issue. installed to my phone, pulled the apk, transferred it over (yes, that's the easiest way), and on the FINAL step of getting this to work (upon clicking allow mock location on the tab) -- force close of the bluetooth gps app. i'm rebooting, but i dunno if it's going to work...

anyone else on tnt_lite 2.2 having this issue?! sucks. wouldn't be an issue on cm6.1b4 i'm sure....
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] aaron19953:
i first paired my phone and allowed mock locations within the ANDROID settings before launching bluetooth gps.. I had a similar issue before doing this.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] myndwire:
i JUST thought about doing this -- i'm going to flash default settings for tnt, turn that on, then flash back and hopefully i'll be good to go :)

edit -- that did it. looking good now, although maps is flashing at me in a strange manor, probably due to being indoors and my evo being unable to lock on too strong. either way, kudos for the advice!

Something's wrong...

I can get connected (shows tablet connect on the phone), but my GTab doesn't pick up my location. Am I supposed to to the patch on my phone too? (HTC Hero CDMA rooted, stock. TnT 2.2 on the tab.)

Thanks in advance!
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] aaron19953:
what does the bluetooth gps show, any data coming in at all ? Also, read post #12 and see if that helps
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jpmi23:
BlueGPS doesn't appear to be showing anything. I've got my Hero selected. Started GPS (Bluetooth GPS in on), I've enabled NMEA. Don't see anything else.

On the Hero in ShareGPS I seeLat and Long and it says it's connected to GTablet-TnT-Lite.

When I go into GMaps app and ask for my location, it tries, then "location unavailable" error comes up.

EDIT: In my BT settings on the GTab it says I'm paired to the Hero, but not connected. ???
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] aaron19953:
hmm if it's connecting, bluetooth gps on the tablet should be showing something in the date/time, lat/long window (along with all the other ones) the only thing i can think of to check is going into your gtab settings and making sure that allow mock is actually enabled..
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jpmi23:
It sure is. I'm all sorts of confused. *sigh*

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I should be using "BlueGps 112.0" (BlueGps4Droid_1.1.2.apk) on the GTab, and "ShareGPS" from the market on the Hero. Correct? (Along with Wireless Tether of course.)

PS: Wifi tethering works perfectly.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] aaron19953:
ahh, there's your problem !! (well, maybe)

I'm using Bluetooth GPS v 0.5.5p1 by Googoo Android on the gtab .. chances are, your tablet won't find that app in the market, so your gonna have to do a good ol' sideload
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] jpmi23:

This may be a silly question (and I don't have GTab, so can't test it out), but would it be possible to get at least the GPS from the phone to the GTab by connecting via USB?
