Ofcom have said they will look into this if they get enough complaints (contact at ofcom.org.uk folks :D)

Which? said they believe T-Mobile broke their own Ts & Cs, and thus are acting outwith the contract...

[General Topics] craig1965:
Bothy my wife and myself have been loyal t-mobile customers since they were one2one however yesterday it came to light on the internet that they proposed to cap data allowances so i phoned customer services to find out if this was the case.

This was confirmed to me and that they had actually known about this for over a week and will take affect on the 2nd of febuary I remind them that this was totally unaceptable and in fact breeches there own terms and conditions giving under 30 days notice to change a intergated part of my contract

when i signed up for this last April as my handset needs a allways on internet connection a 3gb data allowance was included now they want to cap this to 500mb

when I told them I would be cancelling my contract due to them breeching there own contract

I was told I would have to pay an early termination fee as they were not at fault

And I would like to add although this take affect on 2/2/2011 I still as yet have no official notice of these changes

Both my wife and I want to now want to cancel our android contracts now but we have over a year left on our 24 month contracts

Now reduction is for NEW and UPGRADING customers ONLY!!

To be clear: Existing customers keep their current limit.
[General Topics] combat goofwing:
On Monday 10 January 2011 we announced that, in line with the rest of the industry, T-Mobile would be reducing its Fair Use Policy for data usage to 500MB a month for all mobile phone customers. Following a further review of our policy, these changes will now be introduced from 1 February, to new and upgrading customers only - not existing customers.

There will be no change to the data packages for existing customers for the duration of their contract and we apologise for any confusion caused. The revision to the Fair Use Policy is designed to ensure an improved quality of service for all mobile internet users."

So what happens to people who submitted their cancellation notice to t-mobile whilst they were in breach of contract and Ofcom guidelines? does the cancellation stand?
[General Topics] daleski75:
As you are not affected anymore then t-mobile will more than likely issue a standard letter to everyone who has wrote to them saying they cannot cancel due to them retracting the changes to your terms and conditions.
[General Topics] oldmanofskye:
Unfortunately not as no changes took place. If they would decide to make the change, they would most likely (our rather for sure) be forced by Ofcom to honor the cancellations of contracts - which they realized now and backed off.

Im not with T-Mobile UK but have experienced this before with Orange, Luckily for me Orange didn't react in time to change there plans and i left, but these guys back tracking on what they have said because of customer feedback is pathetic and purely to save them selves money.

[General Topics] pulser_g2:
From the wording of my contract, if you could argue the changes you were NOTIFIED about were detrimental, then technically you could continue, as it made no reference to whether they were carried through or not. The written notice was giving you right to cancel, not the changes themselves...

But you won't be able to enforce this... T-Mobile would just feign ignorance and ignore you, citing the colour of the sky as a reason to prevent you leaving, and Ofcom won't investigate individual cases... Arbitration would likely deem you were trying it on, and your case, whilst valid, wouldn't get far in small claims court, as far as I can imagine...

[General Topics] frottage:
Its almost impossible to comprehend the marketing and PR own goal for Everything Everywhere with this one - massive damage has been done to the T-mob reputation over this fiasco - and customers are going to depart in their droves at contract renewal time.

On Orange - I overran my 500mb allowance twice by about 400Mb for this orange tried to charge me £ 2400. I opened a case with OFCOM and also CISAS arguing that Orange had a duty of care to warn users when they over ran their bundle - especially as the data price increases 100 fold - I also said that a 100fold price increase was just not proportional.

Orange said "we have 17million users, we couldnt possibly monitor all of them" which I thought was a pathetic answer - I countered with "you manage to bill 17million users ok"

ultimately OFCOM/ CISAS were lillylivered and said that it was not in their remit to comment on the prices levied by the operators, which was also a joke.

Eventually we realised that as the amount waqs under £5k Orange would need to pursue us in small claims and if it got there they would need to appoint lawyers and writre a defence etc. We offered a settlement of £400 and sent them a cheque with a letter saying "we offer this as full and final settlement of our account - your depositing of this cheque constitutes your acceptance of our offer". Orange immediately banked the cheque - but only reduced the amount we owed them by £400 from the original £2400

Eventually 3 months later - after we sent them copies of our letter did they finally realise that they no longer had a case and backed down on the outstanding money.

Following that mess - i moved to T-mobile and its 3Gb limit. At least with T-mobile there are non of these stupid £ 5 per Mb charges as with orange even with their latest announcements.

When will someone at these companies realise that the reason there is a huge growth in data traffic on their network is because it is what people actually want and is a trend that will ony continue. Reducing allowances does nothing to solve the problem - it only alienates loyal customers - I would rather they charged me 10% more on my monthly bill and at least gave me the service I desire. Somoene needs to take a LONG look at their strategy on data because eventually its going to cost them a BIG chunk of business.

In US T-Mobile is a whole different story. According to dozens of rumors, we got 5 GB Limit, after which the speed will be cut off to the level of dial-up. I tried monitoring my Data usage, and figured out that it is extremely hard to reach 5 GB.

But 500 MB is ridiculous. Equals less than one week of usage for me.

I was in the local shop yesterday they are saying for new customers it applies from now not on Feb 1st even though there fup still says 3gb allowance

However they are claiming the 500mb is only for downloads browsing ,email and social networking is all free and will not be restricted even when you hit the 500mb limit

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] cadusir:
Hi

As I know a lot of problems comes from this tiny little but huge monster of the famous nv_data.bin.

Upgrading ... corrupt nv_data.bin!

Costume rom ... corrupt nv_data.bin!

Unlocking ... corrupt nv_data.bin!

Haaaaachu ... corrupt nv_data.bin!

well, they almost solved all the problems that drives from this file for Galaxy S.

What they do:

They have a standard unlocked nv_data.bin file and would use it as a reference to replace the original IMEI, product codes, unlock codes etc.

This is (almost) what "repair_nv_data.zip" will do.

So, we can do it for the Galaxy 3 too.

We can repair our corrupt nv_data.bin files.

What we need:

1. some samples of clean unlocked nv_data.bin.

2. some people who are familiar with HEX.

Dear friends this is already done in this forum for the other Galaxy S phones and this is already done for the I5800 in other forums (samdroid for $20).

I think the first step is to share our nv_data.bin files (both corrupt and intact) to compare them with each other.

Any proposals will be greatly appreciated.

Good luck

P.S.1. Never forget to backup the /efs folder!

P.S.2. This thread is not trying to change anything in original nv_data.bin file (specially IMEI, it's illegal).

[Desire HD General] FiremakerP:
Is it worth it? I have a nice offer to buy a Desire HD afterwards I would sell my normal Desire.

My issue is if its worth the upgrade and the extra money? I really like the bigger screen from the Desire HD but the development is not as advanced as on the normal Desire.

Rooting and S-Off is apparently harder than on the normal desire and I dont see many roms on the development section.

I know the device is pretty new and this will come as time goes by.

Just post your thoughts what would you do.
[Desire HD General] wtfhax:
Upgraded to DHD from wildfire here and got addicted to the HD screen. Totally worth it.. :)

Easy S-Off with Easy Radio tool v2_2 and rooting with visionary. Mine asia 1.72 but no problem rooting it.
[Desire HD General] FiremakerP:
I had the Wildfire also the wildfire has a crapy display no match for the desire amoled display that I am on right now.

If I had the wildfire I would do it right away but from desire to desire hd is the upgrade not all that stunning.

Still I love the 4,3" screen and the looks of the new desire HD. But technicaly is it worth it?

I assume the battery on Desire lasts longer. DHD's battery might be a large factor to weigh out before cashing out...

i just bought a desire HD, im still deciding if i should sell my desire, the main reasons im upgrading is the bigger nand on the HD and the multi touch, im sick of the crappy axis flipping on the desire :mad: i hope its worth it :D
[Desire HD General] FiremakerP:
Thanks I already tested the HD2 and the Desire HD and I like the bigger screen much better. The swap wouldnt cost me that much.
[Desire HD General] MattSkeet:
Had desire and swapped for hd. Totally worth it. Bigger internal memory (finally can install whatever I want without worrying about space) bigger screen which in my case is not a deal breaker. Multitouch its not 5 point touch but does the job nicely. Try game "slice it" on normal desire and hd difference is incomparable. And I know it's going to sound funny battery. It last longer than on normal desire with superpower app. Ohh and ability to swap sim without taking battery. There are some flaws but they are small and I got use to it. Which is quite could not say about normal desire...
[Desire HD General] RaymondErasmus:
I am lucky enough to have both.

Had my desire for about 4 months before i got the dhd and i was very impressed ... the difference between the two phones is alot more noticeably than what i anticipated.

Hardware wise it is definitely worth it, my battery life seems to be the same on both devices.

At the moment i use the dhd as my full-time phone, i am by no means in a hurry to root or start playing around with the software, for me as an 'out-of-the-box' phone its perfect.

I rooted my desire within a month of getting it and havnt looked back since ... at the moment its my favorite toy as i basically do as much to it as possible!
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
I came from a nexus one running a sense port which is practically a desire for all intents and purposes. I upgraded because of the camera, the bigger flash memory (apps2sd is far from an ideal fix) and the locations software. Not everyone likes locations but I've found it very good.

I don't think the battery is that much worse than the nexus one, it lasts me thru the day with plenty to spare on most occasions and I recharge every night.

The phone is also noticeably faster it has more RAM and a better gpu.

At the time of purchase the size of the HD wasn't a selling point. I remember looking at it in the shop and thinking it was a bit too big. Now I've grown to love the big screen, it just makes touch input that much more accurate. Thankfully its nicely curved and thin so it doesn't feel that much bigger in my pocket.

I would say go for it - you will still get a good resale price for the desire so you won't be out of pocket as much as it may seem.
