One more thing to consider regarding carriers and then i will drop it.

This is a HUGE one.

AT&T has grandfathered all of its users who had smart phones prior to June of 2010 in so that they will continue to get UNLIMITED data for $29.00 a month regardless of how many times they renew or change phones.

Verizon may offer that for one time only introductory rate only, but everyone else (and when your contract is up) you will be locked into only getting 2G per month at a rate only $5.00 cheaper a month.

Now in 2013 rolls around ill be able to get 5G or more in data a month using the SAME technology verizon has, for probably HALF the cost (verizon charges I think $20 extra per G over the 2G) while retaining superior customer service.

Math:

5G from Verizon=$25+$20+$20=$65.00

5G from AT&T grandfathered customers=$29.00

This will be the reality by the time i get around to my next cell phone contract (after the one im about to start) as AT&T will have its LTE network up by then in the larger cities..

So there is that...
[G Tablet General] BigJohn89:
Actually, I find it quite funny about how you totally ignored the meaning of my post and turned the whole thing into an evangelism for AT&T - all while assuming I use Verizon.

The purpose of my post was to state that I bought the G-tab because I wanted a large-screened tablet for reading/web surfing/similar tasks. I already have a phone with a data plan, and I do not want another. I also didn't go with an iPad or a Galaxy tab for the same reason - to get one at a price point similar to the G-tab, I would have to go with one that is subsidized by a carrier. Which means another data plan to pay for.

BTW, comparing the Atrix and the G-Tab is a waste of time as most people will treat them as two separate products with different purposes.

The Samsung phone you linked to was nice, but you glossed over the fact that I said that I didn't want another phone at this time - or in the near future.

Regarding the whole AT&T vs Verizon thing - I have had bad experiences with AT&T for quite a long time; even going as far back to before AT&T took over Cingular. It wasn't a one-time incident, and eventually I gave up dealing with them. It's my choice not to deal with them as much as it's your choice to use them.

I know there are plenty of people that have had bad customer service issues with my carrier of choice as well - which, by the way, is Sprint and not Verizon.

[G Tablet General] s14tam:
Various blogs have reported that Motorola is leaving the bootloader unlocked.

I read the reviews and it seams the laptop dock is pretty much just a gimmick and not all that useful. Sweet phone though. If I was going to spend a ton of cash on a phone and or a new plan anyways I might consider it. Happy with my gTab and HD2 for now though.
[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:
I'm def. not.

599/499 for a phone and a dock with a screen? I think not. It's essentially still just a phone. Some people change their phones every year or 2. So you're either locking yourself into an expensive short term investment or willing to hold on to older tech for longer, in which case maybe it would be worth it. You're also locked into a data contract for 2 years - inflating the cost of the package drastically.

Option 2 is a tablet for 379/399, a $40 wireless mouse/kb bundle from logitech or ms and a $50 hdmi dock, then hook it up to your LCD TV or monitor and voila, similar effect albeit not as mobile as the atrix lapdock, but if you're willing to carry that around in a bag, why not just buy a more powerful netbook or laptop for $300 upfront and let that be that? It just doesn't make much sense at the current price point.

It's a gimmick, imho.

If the entire dock were maybe $100-150 then it might pass as worthwhile. That would essentially give you a phone and 'netbook' transformer for $350 which is around the cost of a netbook/laptop/tablet. At 299/399 with/without a rebate for the dock alone and that's not including the cost of being locked into a contract for 2 years....whereas the VS is 399 off the bat, no catch, it's not really for me. To each his own though. I'm sure there are reasons to get it.

ummm i know this is not related to what xda doess but i want to know if there are things like ROMS for windows 7 PCs? i wannt to like customize my computerr. ty
[Off-topic] dreadlord369:
Do you mean like themes and such? Theres really no such thing as a "ROM" for PC unless you're talking about operating systems (which there are plenty of from Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint, OSX, Windows, google's new netbook OS).

I mean you can get streamlined versions of windows but they are normally pirated unless you can make your own.

But the only way of customizing your computer is to get different themes and/or to build your own computer (which is what I do).

Hi guys, using the Webserver app by davux (thanks heaps!) I found Dell's EM diagnostic program in the Windows directory with the license file (not that its of much use)

Unfortunately my programming skills aren't up to scratch (java 2.0...i know its old) and I'm not very good with VS2010

maybe someone can pick apart the DLLs in the XAP file and hopefully figure out how to SIM unlock the DVP and gain access to other password protected parts of the diagnostic program

anything useful for registry backdoors or native dll like htc?

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thirdlane:
As for me, I only have two profiles set up. One for screen off set at 245mhz min/max on powersave/conservative @ 90 priority and one for battery temp greater >45 degree C set at 614 mhz max 245mhz min @ 95 priority, on conservative. I've been using this setup on Fresh 3.5 with Netarchy's 4.3.1 stable kernel and my phone has been off the charger for 22 hours with about 20% remaining battery and thats with moderate usage and with WiFi on entire time. You can have unlimited profiles set up based on remaining battery, battery temp, etc and set up the profiles with higher priorities with higher priority number designation. Even though Net's kernel allows me to underclock all the way to 128 mhz, my phone does not like to me underclocked that low.

No you are not doomed. Calm down :)

1. Repair using SEUS (even if it says you have the latest software, reinstall it)

2. If that does not work, try PC companion.

3. If that does not work then use the flash tool. You can use the old version if the new one is not working out for you.

Before you do all of the above, take out the battery and wait 10 seconds. Then, reinstall the battery and try the SEUS. Good luck! :)

In trying to set up my phone to play music, I copied my library off to an sdcard, plugged into phone, bam - all of it showed up. I made 2 playlists (I like to separate my music so I don't get jazz while I'm listening to RHCP or whatnot).

...um, how do I play that playlist? My "now playing" thing is full of all the songs. I'd like to replace it with the contents of one of my playlists, and then shuffle through those tracks.

So, simple question, hopefully a simple answer - I just can't figure it out!
[Galaxy Tab General] ElAguila:
I have been debating with myself on whether or not to get a galaxy tab. I was wanting to hear from anybody who was a former Evo owner. Does the tab seem a lot bulkier than the Evo? Would you go back to the Evo if you had a chance? I have seen some belt clips for the tab. Does it feel comfortable or does it feel like you have a book glued to your hip.
[Galaxy Tab General] Lindarose84:
Former Evo user here:

In terms of bulk, you'd be surprised to know the Tab is actually thinner than the Evo. Of course you'll be carrying a 7" device as opposed to a 4" device so that does take some getting used to. As a woman, I carry it in my purse so I can't actually answer your question on the holster since I don't use one.

I have completely moved from my Evo to the Tab- I downgraded my Evo plan which, with insurance and taxes less my discount, was around $85/month. I moved it down to the basic Talk 200 which is $29.99 and ported my new Tab number to it and switched my old Evo number to the Tab (keep in mind if you choose to do this, you'll need some old windows phone on the Talk 200 plan since the Evo can only have that Everything Data plan). I did the tweak in the development section and now make and receive calls on the Tab. That in addition to the 2GB data and unlimited texts on my plan leave me set in terms of an all-in-one mobile device.

Ultimately, I'm saving money now. My Tab plan is $29.99 plus the $29.99 for the Talk 200- without insurance, plus taxes and less my discount, I should be paying around $50 a month. While I do miss the Evo, no I wouldn't go back.
[Galaxy Tab General] ElAguila:
Thanks for the info. If I get a tab it will be to completely replace the Evo as I would be selling(i.e. "giving") it to my brother in law and he would use it on our plan instead of his intercept and I would be using the tab exclusively. He and I both have been disappointed with the Intercept that he has and he would like to get an Evo. The Evo I have allowed me to give up my pmp and just use the Evo. The tab would allow me to give up my Kindle as well and have a truly all in one device.

evo to tab adjustments

Just recently switched from an Evo to an AT&T GT. It definitely takes some getting used to if the Tab becomes your primary phone. I use a headset, but now I realize just how much I fiddle with my phone while I do other things.
