[Epic 4G General] mxcoldhit:
I agree with you. I use the 4g service as well, but ill be moving soon to an area that doest have it. I'm still going to pay the 10 dollar fee because I'll still be close to an area that has it.

Now I wasn't to happy at first about the 10 dollar fee because of how they explained it to me, but I'm fine now since we aren't going to a data tiered payment scale and I've been using it for a while.

Some people always look for something to complain about. I could probably give the people who are suing a free table and they would complain about the color.

Sent from my shoe, I mean....Epic shoe... I mean Samsung Epic!
[Epic 4G General] mousiluck:
I think it's a pretty stupid lawsuit. People should have already known what they are getting into when shopping for phones, 4g data maps are posted. It shows where 4g is and where it isn't. As for me I'm happy paying the extra 10 bucks a month for actual unlimited data through 4g data, and not being charged an extra $.05/mb over 5gigs. You will be surprised how much data is used playing cod online.

But I see this as people being on a 300min/month plan going over and then complaining about the charges, or being on a 600min/month plan and complaining about the minutes not being used. People just want to find ways to complain and make money off others, but who am I to say it's wrong to do so.

Just my 176kb's from my 4G Epic.
[Epic 4G General] diego1985:
Im not paying that layer a damn thing by calling him. It will be nice to give me 15% off my phone bill though sprint lol.
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
I think the charge is justifiable.. only for those in 4g areas though. I'm paying 10 extra a month for something I don't have access to.. that's entirely unjust.
[Epic 4G General] DexterDawg:
Here's my $.02. I live in an area that just recently has gotten 3g fairly consistant, 4g is doubtful anytime in the near future. I was "sold" this $10 plan by a rep who told me that even though I don't have 4g, having that plan gives me faster data. She also told me that the epic syncs more than my than my Moment because it has a more advanced operating system.. lol.. I argued with her point for a while, but ultimately knew I was forced into the plan. I just hate the lack of training and knowledge people at the stores have. Why not raise everyones data plan or phone plan a dollar.. think how much more money that would generate than 10 bucks from 4g phone owners.

Edit: I just realized that since 2007 this is my first post.. Talk about lurking...
[Epic 4G General] styles420:
My only complaint is that we should be given a choice to opt out of the 4g plan - many people don't live anywhere near a 4g tower.

And what about the folks who want the hardware capabilities of a galaxy s phone but don't need the 4g features? Does Sprint recommend that they switch carriers?
[Epic 4G General] enispenvy:
is EVERY sprint customer this much of a PITA? there isn't one of us that doesn't have some type of corporate discount on our plans.. the plans are CHEAP compared to other carriers.. maybe 20-40 less/month for an individual plan and you only pay 50-100 bucks more up front for a phone.. and 4g is expensive to provide. it's not that they can just go to a tower and click the 4g switch and its there. i work at a sprint store and evvveerrry day get people asking why they have to pay the ten a month.. usually a minute before or after they tell me how 4g isn't everywhere. if you want it to work everywhere, it's gonna cost money. not fair for people that don't have 4g devices that just talk and text.. or worse.. the old folks on the 30 dollar basic plans to cover our share of data

think about it.. we're on a sight dedicated to getting the most out of our phones. we use more data than the active user.. deal with it or get NOT the coolest phone in the world

cepppptt.. a group rate for a family plan would be nice - like att/verizon does texting for 20 a month per or 30 for up to 5.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Ditto.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
I do not have a corporate discount at all. Not even a small discount. And I live in a 4g black hole. There is a small area 120mi north of me that has coverage and I don't go there. Why do I have to pay full price on my plan plus $10 for something I can't use?
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
So that they can build a few more towers in my area. Its ridiculous, I only get like 2 bars of 4g everywhere I go.
[Epic 4G General] raylusk:
I think the lawsuit is a waste of taxpayer money. Those that are complaining about the fee shouldn't have a device that requires it. You signed a contract that clearly disclosed the fee and no matter what the fee is for or how fair you think it is you voluntarily chose to pay the fee by purchasing and activating a phone that requires it. No one made you do that.

I am offended that the money I am required to pay in taxes with out any choice in my part is being used so a bunch of idiots can try to get the government to change something they choose to pay. I bet many of these same people will be the first ones to say that they pay too much in taxes or the government doesn't spend their money wisely.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
Who is suing the government? No one. I didn't call the number but I still think its wrong that just because I wanted a good phone I have to pay an extra $10 a month because it can do something I have no access to.
[Epic 4G General] muyoso:
There is no question that it sucks, but you are basically "investing" in Sprint's/Clearwire's rollout of 4g. Eventually 4g will be "free", which means the cost will just be folded into all plans.
[Epic 4G General] dreamsforgotten:
Agreed I live in Louisiana where there is no 4g coverage. I'm paying for nothing cause I don't use any more data than my Samsung Moment. And to the post three above me, you think the government spends your money wisely? You sir, are mentally challenged.
[Epic 4G General] raylusk:
I never said anyone is suing the government. I said that this is a waste of our taxpayer money. You do know that we the taxpayers pay for the courts where the case will be tried, don't you?

I also never said that the government spends money wisely. I said the same idiots that think sprint should be sued over this are probably the same ones that would cry that their taxes are too high and that government doesn't spend money wisely.

Why do people think that they should use the tax payer supported court system to go after sprint when they could have easily just not bought a phone that required the fee? This attitude that because you think something that you agreed to is unfair, that we the taxpayers should fund the judge, jury, court room, and other infrastructure is what is truly unfair. Because see, the rest of us taxpayers don't have any choice but to fund the court that will hear this stupid lawsuit while you had a choice to not pay the fee but getting a diffetent phone. Those that participate in this lawsuit are the ones that are being unfair to the rest of us taxpayers.
[Epic 4G General] crabjoe:
Sprint says it's for a more robust experience due to things like the super fast 1ghz processor and what not. What does the processor speed have to do with 4G and if the $10 fee isn't for 4G, as Sprint says, why is it only charged on phones that have 4G capabilities?

Personally, I think they should make 4G access an opt-in thing like they do with the Hotspot feature. Especially since Wimax is pretty much non existent for most people. And even where it is available, there's to many holes. Holes as in it doesn't work (To me it doesn't work if the access is spotty or the speeds aren't any better then their 3G service) once you walk into most builds/homes and who wants to stand outside to just use 4G?

Based on Sprints reason on why they charge a $10 fee on their 4G phones, why is everyone paying a monthly fee when they've already paid for the phone upfront? It's not like the Epic or Evo are priced like the Optimus.

BTW, from that I read, I think Sprint pays $4.50 to Clearwire for every 4G capable phone but is currently trying to renegotiating their contract with Clearwire to only pay the fee on phones sold in 4G areas. It seems to me Sprint feels is unfair to pay for something that's not available for all their phones, but wants it's customers to do what they don't want to do themselves.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
So I should be penalized for wanting to have a good, powerful phone. I see. Clearly, I chose this phone because it was a good phone not because it had 4g. I argued for an hour with the sprint rep and told him that I did NOT agree with the charge nor did I accept his bull**** about it coming soon to my area. At every step of the way, I have been clear with Sprint that I wanted a powerful phone but do not care about 4g. How can I contest the charge? Cancel my service and pay a cancellation fee? How is it not a violation of my rights as a consumer to force me to pay a fee for wanting a good phone and have my only other option be a hefty cancellation fee? As a fellow tax-payer I am offended by your unjustified self-righteousness.

Yes, the government pays for the courts, I'm quite aware of that. But they pay for every case of someone claiming "whiplash" in a car accident when the reality is a person just trying to screw the insurance company. They pay for every case where someone who is breaking into a home gets injured and sues the homeowner. I deserve my justice much more than those people and the hundreds of millions of others who abuse the judiciary system. And you don't deserve to ***** about it. =)
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
It's pretty simple folks, you want a "premium" phone then you pay the "premium fee" nobody forced you to buy the phone but if you did then you agree to pay any associated fees. End of discussion
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qbert3:
Problem: After using the MDJ 1.1 Revolution build, my phone froze after watching a youtube clip (after about 1 hour of normal use). I waited a while to see if it would recover and it rebooted on it's own. Ever since then, while booting into Windows Mobile, it restarts during bootup. Sometimes It makes it into Windows Mobile, but it randomly restarts on it's own.

What i've tried:

- Formatting the SD Card as well as removing it before booting up.

- Taking out the SIM card before booting up.

- Ran a different android build, it booted up just fine, but restarted after less than 10 minutes.

What else should I try? I'm a bit afraid to move forward without suggestions since the phone seems to be unstable.

Random info:

- I have a t-mobile us phone

- HSPL installed

- Custom WinMo Installed, the one I choose months ago claimed to be very android friendly, for tmous and stable.

- I've had my HD2 on this custom WinMo rom for a few months now, I can't remember which rom it is, but it's never given me problems.

- I've been running Android builds on it since I first got it. I usually choose one compatible with tmous, format my sd card and install android via the sd card. I wait until that build fails with screen freezes, data drops, lag issues. Then I just move onto a different android build. I've gone up to two weeks with no issues at all once.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Wampirate:
It might be a hardware issue. And not even connected to android.

I had had similar issues, and I had my phone serviced. They replaced my main board with a new one, and now everything works fine. I'm using android of course.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hungry81:
Try New Wm rom. my combo (in my sig) seem to be working with no issues atm
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qbert3:
Can you suggest a WinRom for a tmous user? a more updated one perhaps (stable).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qbert3:
So my phone seemed pretty stable today for hours, so while the phone was on, I hooked it up to my pc via usb, bam green screen and then it restarted on its own.

It did this each time I connected it to the usb, I eventually got it to work without crashing.

So I installed the newest chucky rom I could find "ChuckyROM-23148-Tabtastic.Nov.21".

After about 15 minutes of the phone being on the new rom, completely being idle, it restarted.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Wampirate:
told you its hardware, service it
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] qbert3:
Just got it back from HTC repair, it seems to be more stable now, but I was able to get it to restart on it's own with a green screen.

I just plugged the usb cable in, it synced with windows mobile. Left it alone for a while. Disconnected the cable, waited 10 seconds, reconnected it, crash.
[Streak 5 General] sahirhussain:
hi all

Indian telecom operators are about to roll out 3g (i know it sucks when the world is already on 4g) and i have been told that 3g on WCDMA really sucks as compared to HSPA enabled handsets. Now in the settings menu, i can there is an option to select network mode which only gives GSM/WCDMA as an option.

my service provider (Airtel) tells me that WCDMA only handsets can only support speeds upto 384 kbps while HSPA handsets can support upto 7 mbps!! what will i get with the streak??
[Streak 5 General] malim:
Dont worry dell streak run hspa
[Streak 5 General] avneeshshrotria:
Hi Sahir just fyi im already using hspa on the streak in delhi... i get speeds upto 1mbps for now...
[Streak 5 General] Edrill:

[HD7 General] ticke:
This video keep auto play (a minute after) when I switch off the screen and will keep looping until battery is drained to 0%. any idea how to get rid of this problem?...

can't find any setting to kill it off...HELP!!!

also, since this problem occured, i have switched my sim back to my old phone. thus without any sim inserted, i turn on the HD7 and to keep the video from auto play, i've set keylock on the screen. then I turn the screen off...after a minute, to my surprise, instead of the video auto play, came this idiotic pop out, saying the phone need to be reset once in a while???!!!!! i mean what the f/heck?
[HD7 General] tai4de2:
I would like to try to help you, but first: can you clarify what the hell you are talking about?
[HD7 General] ticke:
:D found out that the phone is a 'demo phone'. had it flashed with proper ROM. working fine now.

The demo video autoplay itself after a minute I hit the power button. when I tried to stop the video from playing...the phone will auto reset itself.

[G2 and Desire Z General] solace.discord:
I'm not rooted yet, we're only two days old at this point, but this is bugging me. I wish there were a "calibrate trackpad" option.

most of the time, I can go left and right, but going up and down in portrait is a crapshoot (in landscape I can go up-down but not left-right), and jumpy at best.

anyone have a quick fix? or since a search came back with unrelated threads, do I have a defective device?
[G2 and Desire Z General] rajbaba2:
My trackpad works fine except for it being light sensitive
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Try it in a different area if you always use it in the same place. As the previous poster said, it's light sensitive and it appears some have problems with that aspect of it.

But it's odd it works one way and not the other. The only problem I have with mine is if I make too much of a stroke in the up/down direction in portrait, then I end up accidentally activating the menu button. I find that a bit irritating but I'm changing how I use it to stop doing that.

Could just be a faulty trackpad.
[G2 and Desire Z General] solace.discord:
thanks for the response, both of you.

I'll spend some more time playing with it- perhaps this is a case of user error. if it doesn't get better, I'll call TMo.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tazz9690:
I had the same problem with my 1st G2. Called up T-Mobile and they told me it was a problem with the hardware. I returned it and I didn't have a problem whatsoever with it, I even came out with a sturdier hinge. Only problem with that was that it had a bed LED on the keyboard, so I had to return that one too. On my third one now and no real complaints.
[G2 and Desire Z General] solace.discord:
I'll give them a call on Monday if I can't figure it out. I don't expect my G2 to be absolutely perfect, but this is clearly an issue.

Did they send you the replacement first, or did you have to be without a phone?
[G2 and Desire Z General] tazz9690:
I was still within my buyer's remorse for all my returns.

However, I have returned phones through T-Mobile's warranty and they always send you the replacement 1st, then you return your defective handset in the same box that your replacement was sent in.
[G2 and Desire Z General] solace.discord:
good to know. thanks for the info.
[G2 and Desire Z General] solace.discord:
that was something ridiculous... I called TMo and was transferred to tech support- she had me do a wipe/reset to see if it was a software issue, and said she had to do that before transferring me to CS to get a replacement.

thank god for Visionary and Titanium...

new G2 will arrive in a few days, hopefully with a working trackpad and no echo/delay in calls. (this is another reason why I waited to root)
[G2 and Desire Z General] solace.discord:
wow.. the replacement arrived today, and I def had a defective device. the hinge is much tighter and the trackpad is awesome. echo in calls is gone as well.
[G2 and Desire Z General] contalyst:
would a wonky trackpad make my wifes DZ move between homescreens on its own and make it difficult to type?

The cursor when typing moves on the screen so sometimes she'll be typing a word and half of it gets inserted into a previous word...

So basically its only for newer devices with official froyo release?
[Vibrant General] MacGuy2006:
there is no official Froyo release for the US market.

But you do have to have an unoficial Froyo on the phone, yes.

Here is the apk available from androidspin (it works OK for me, but no guarantees).

So I was having a lot of issues with my phone and figured if I am going to reset it I may as well upgrade. I installed Cognitionv2.3b7-non-oc-uv and honestly the thing is incredible. I do have one major issue though... The music player.

When I play a song in any player (Music Player, Winamp, even Ringdroid) regardless of if the media is on an SD card or internal storage when I attempt to skip the track the application will freeze causing me to kill it manually. I can't even set my own ringtone because of this.

I did some searching but really did not turn up much. Any help would be awesome!

Thanks,
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BodaciousDrake:
There are some people here that get a little bent out of shape when you post in the wrong section. I'm not one of them, but it's best to avoid doing this if you can. This should probably be in the Cog thread, or in the general section if you really feel it merited a new thread.

That being said, that's a weird issue. Did you flash back to stock before flashing Cog?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
It impedes the progress of development. For every incorrect thread in Development, there's one valid thread pushed to page 2.

Glad to hear you got it fixed. Reverting to stock and reflashing tends to solve a lot of problems.
[Nexus S General] ksc6000:
I really hope this is possbile. The HTC IME keyboard is absolutely indispensible to me. It in my experience has by far the best spell correction out of any keyboard I've tried. No other keyboard can I mess a word up so bad, add in a few extra letters than the word has, and it will still figure out what I'm trying to say.
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
The only thing I hate about the keyboard is that after putting a period to write down my email, it always puts a space after it. Errr....

If the HTC keyboard can be ported to the Galaxy S and Nexus One phones, then I'm sure it can for the Nexus S.
[Nexus S General] Superfrag:
It'll be ported, no worries. In the mean time try Smart Keyboard Pro with HTC Skin.. very very similar. I actually prefer that to HTC_IME, but both are damn similar.
