Its basically a $5/month data plan that only works with certain phones and you have to be grandfathered into it (ie, you cant sign up for it.. Its something you had to have had since 2000 or whenever tzones was popular and never cancelled). Since you are asking, you probably don’t have it and will not be able to get it
[Nexus S General] Paul22000:
Not true; it's just the data plan for dumbphones.

The T-Mobile website automatically recognizes phones and makes you sign up for full ~$30~ data plans if you have a smartphone.

Of course, if you own a phone that T-Mobile doesn't sell directly, the website can't recognize the phone (so you're free to "select" a dumbphone).

And some of these phones that T-Mobile can't recognize are... The Nexus One and the Nexus S :eek::eek::D
[Nexus S General] kamranwpi:
I have tzone 599 plan too, I have notice that it works fine as long as I am on Tmo 3G coverage, as soon the phone goes to Edge. My data stops working.

Has any one else experience it?

Any way to solve this problem?

Thanks
[Nexus S General] mrroey:
NOT TRUE. it is the data plan for phones back from 2000 till they cancelled it around 2005. It will work on ANY dumb or SMART phone and it will work for tmobile smartphones as well, such as my vibrant and hd7. Tmobile MAY send a text message saying that you have a smartphone and they want you to upgrade to a "smartphone" plan but you do not have to. I personally have never gotten any texts or received anything like that from tmobile when I used an iphone, iphone 4, hd7, hd2, or vibrant. Only a few people have announced that tmobile pressured them into upgrading but it voids the contract and you can almost always talk your way out of them forcing you to upgrade your data plan.

The only exception is if you choose to upgrade your line, you will have to sign up for a "smartphone" data plan to go along with your 2 year service extension.

But the truth is, tzones will work with any phone regardless of its "smartness."
[Nexus S General] mprziv:
Didn't work with my G2, at all.

Worked on my N1 and NS though!
[Nexus S General] ruprick:
I had this exact same thing happen to me today. I figured TMO was forcing me into a more expensive data plan, but as soon as I was back to 3G it was working fine again. I don't have the $5.99 plan, just the $10/mo for dumbphones.

This may end up forcing me into a legit data plan in the end. I like having access to data, even @ edge speeds.
[Nexus S General] xhuix:
Didn't work with my vibrant.

Worked with my NS though!
[Nexus S General] kamranwpi:
My problem is that it works great when i am on 3g, only it happens if it goes on EDGE for even few mins, it stops, then I have to reset it and see if it goes on 3G.

Ohh boy, I wish there was some sort of a hack ...

I really don't wanna go to higher data plan at this time of the economy ::(
[Nexus S General] jamesyt:
Just to clarify, is this happening to tzone ($5.99) plans as well or just to the web2go plans? Thanks.
[Nexus S General] mrroey:
are you sure you had tzones or web2go? they are two different things

tzones - internet option circa 2000 that worked for all phones - still continues to work regardless of smartphone or not. costs 5.99/month

web2go - internet option exclusively for "dumbphones," meaning it will only work on phones that do not carry 3g or force you to add a $30 or $15 smartphone plan when buying or upgrading the contract. cost is $10 per month.

if you bought a vibrant or g2 or hd2 or whatever off contract and had tzones, tzones may have forced you to add a $30 plan but that is a breach of contract. first, its not becasue tzones doesnt work on those phones. it does. its just becasue you were one of the unlucky ones that tmobile "caught" using their ancient internet plan on these newer phones. thus they want you to upgrade.

but since you bought the phones off contract at full price, they have no right to make you pay becasue you dont have to. you should still be able to keep tzones.

see thats how you know that tzones still works on those phones, becasue if it didn't why would tmobile even bother making you upgrade to their $30 internet plan. its because they DO WORK and tmobile doesnt want you getting in on unlimited internet for that price. they will in turn just block your account from accessing internet and give you an upgrade or no service page when you browse the web until you tell them you want to switch over to $30 plan.

Of course if you had the web2go internet plan for dumbphones, tmobile has a right to make you switch becasue that plan only works for dumbphones. its not a matter of price difference becasue web2go CANNOT be used on any of these higher end models with 3g.

im curious though, for the people who were forced out of tzones, did you actually let them switch your internet plans or what did you do?
[Nexus S General] amplizz:
Is it possible to get the tzones as a new customer? Off contract?
[Nexus S General] a3p3g:
i currently am a grandfathered tzones (5.99) user w/ 3g iphone on tmobile (working great). I'm considering picking up the nexus s and excited to read reports of it working great with tzones (w/ 3g speeds even i hear?? that would be a huge jump to the edge i'm used to).

so if i buy this retail and get it working w/ my apn, is there a way tmobile will catch on what i'm doing and dump my tzones ? i always figured they couldnt before because i'm using a phone thats not theirs so they cant recognize it (to determine if i'm using a smartphone or dumbphone). but w/ the S thought maybe they might and try and bump me.....any thoughts?
[Nexus S General] hd2Raz:
Its so retarded to me if tzones still works on NS but web2go doesn't. web2go worked awesome on my hd2 and iphone 3g but now i got no data since buying the NS which is BS. Anyone have any luck getting web2go to work on their NS by calling tmo or smtg?
[Nexus S General] CB620:
this doesnt make sense to me but enjoy. when i had web2go it worked for 2 hrs max and tmobile sent me a text saying i must upgrade. i called their bluff and tried to go online but there was the subscriber message waiting for me. i dont really see it working unless its grandfathered in but even still they may make you change. web2go only worked great for me on my hd2
[Nexus S General] Teknojunkee:
My grandfathered plan also worked for 3 days with the Nexus S before it took a crap.

Had to upgrade. I tried all the different apn etc. to no avail.
[Nexus S General] bigwillis:
I have my touch 3g internet running perfectly on my nexus S, ive heard during signup/activation t-mobile made my friend upgrade to 4g even though hence a 3g phone??
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
Is there a way to make .bat like files? Or another way to run presaved terminal commands?
[Galaxy 3 General] mizch:
You're talking about android terminal emulators or adb shell? If so, write »#/system/bin/sh« into the first line and your commands into the following lines of a text file. Give your file execute permissions when you're done. Give it any name you like.

Then just run it from a shell prompt as you would do with any other command.

If you want do delve deeper into this, ask your favorite search engine for "shell language", "Bourne shell" or "SUSv4 shell". There are control structures, variables, functions - anything you'd expect from a full-fledged computer language.

P.S.: SD cards are often mounted with no execute permission. If your command file lives there, run it using "sh /sdcard/filename".
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
Thanks a lot! Very helpful!

As the title suggest, I have a 2.21 based Nexus One. And I use a Mac. Is ther an easy way to root it?
[Nexus One General] efrant:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8315805&postcount=2
[Nexus One General] madj42:
He's right. There is nothing really different about the mac rooting process since the SDK tools are generally the same.
[Nexus One General] Xel'Naga:
This guide was for the main 2.2.1 update. Since the last time that post was edited, there was a second 2.2.1 OTA pushed, which I believe was a small fix for adjusting partitions or something similar and gave a slightly different build number. You know if this still works for FRG83D?
[Nexus One General] efrant:
Rooting by the method quoted works on all Android builds to date.
[Nexus One General] ajaffarali:
Ok- finally found some time for this but I'm getting a permission error at the step:

./busybox cp busybox /system/bin

Everything above that works well but when I reach this step, it messes up.
[Nexus One General] efrant:
The guide is prob missing a step. Make sure you change the permissions on busybox to allow it to run before you try using it. Try chmod 755 busybox
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
Make sure you actually did get root, I had to run the first step a few times until I got the root prompt on my friends phone.
[Nexus One General] ajaffarali:
Thanks! That did the trick. Nexus One is now rooted. Now to make the hard decision on which ROM to flash it with
[Nexus One General] mrbkkt1:
First thing to do after rooting is to make a backup. You would be surprised as to how many people forget to do this.
[Nexus One General] LFact:
First, flash any custom recovery if you already hadn't.

Then make a nandroid backup. It's a 'must' so you can go back if custom ROM flashing goes wrong. Also, backup your applications and their data is recommended.

[Desire General] kolaf:
Even Oslo has 3-D buildings :-), too bad we cannot rotate.

I have tried to get the rotate by compass function to work, but I guess it is map rotating itself which is disabled, not the multitouch gesture.
[Desire General] worekarolis:
You have to touch twice on compass, it works fine for me.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
added about 1mb installed on system though :P

just to weigh out the goodness of it...
[Desire General] kolaf:
I still cannot get it to work. Sometimes I managed to change the colour of the compass, but nothing else happens. Most of the time I just trigger zooms or panning.

Could you please provide some more detail on how exactly you achieve compass controlled rotation?
[Desire General] Tazzzz:
+1

I too cannot get it to work, it only worked one time and i don't know what i did exactly. Anyone?
[Desire General] ljesh:
It works great for me every time :/

- Start Google Maps

- Wait a bit to locate you

- Touch the top-right button

- Touch again the same one

- Move your phone around, the map moves too
[Desire General] Tazzzz:
I got it

Tap the my location button twice. I tapped the compass button (top left) and it wasn't working.

Thanks

put the "xml file" it in there.

GO to setting>CMSetting>User Interface>Tweak extras>Select a Theme.

Version 1.0

- Initial Release

Version v2.0

- Added 2 new Nexus S LiveWallpapers,but Microbes have little bugs

- Launcher support only Portrait mode

- Many backgrounds added

- Modified some images

Version v2.1

- Music apk themed

- Now with themed ADW Launcher and landscape support

- New Android market 2.2.6 (not 2.2.7) but better then nothing ;)

I have no problems at the moment.

Hope you like it.
