[Nexus S General] Alopez_45:
I'm less then a week on getting paid and have enough money saved up to finally get the Nexus S. I'm also getting my employee plan since I work for Radio Shack. The only thing is stopping me is T-Mobile. Are they really dependable. In by which I mean that will I get good signal, dropped calls, and etc. I would like to hear some feedback on T-Mobile? I am on Sprint, I'm currently satisfied with the service I get.

Thanks. :)
[Nexus S General] hansmrtn:
Hey, its not att. Thats a plus haha.
[Nexus S General] peeturr:
Really depends on your area. I rarely get drop calls with T-Mobile. Maybe once a month. Signal is eh, phases in and out every now depending on your location (but then again that's with every carrier). YMMV. Even though T-Mobile isn't perfect, I'm personally satisfied with the affordable plans. That sort of balances out any discrepancies :).

Check coverage here

t-mobile.com/coverage/pcc.aspx
[Nexus S General] ravidavi:
Go to T-Mobile's website and look at their coverage checker. Then go to your friends who live around where you live and have T-Mobile, and ask them. You can't really get an answer about YOUR expected call quality from someone on an internet forum who might not even live in your state.

As far as feedback on T-Mobile, surely you've heard that they win mobile provider customer service awards every year? Top-rated customer satisfaction, etc... it's all over the news all the time.

The only people who aren't happy with T-Mobile, are those who don't have actual coverage where they live/work. And those are just logistical issues for which you'll have to do real-world checking (as I mentioned in the first paragraph) to find out.

Whatever you do, don't get a brand new phone before at LEAST using the T-Mobile website's coverage checker to verify that you should have good voice & data service at the locations important to you.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I live in an area without very good service (terrible actually) and I'm still very happy with tmo :) best customer service period.
[Nexus S General] AtomicPC:
I live in an area where I don't get Edge or 3g. The network coverage is spotty compared to ATT and Celular South. If there were a roaming agreement with ATT it would be awesome. If I go south I can count on not having service unless in a populated area. The further north I go (depending on area...) it gets better.

The plans and customer service are awesome. Don't have a complaint at all about them. No need to add extra stuff for MMS messages. I can tether all I want for no extra charge... Just wished we had 3g.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
I'm in NYC. The biggest issue I noticed with Tmobile is if you're ever deep inside a building (like in an office building, a department store, or especially a mall) the signal can become weak, or even nonexistent. It just doesn't seem like their signal strength can penetrate building walls well. Other than that, the service is quite stable and reliable.

That's just my experience.
[Nexus S General] kolyan:
same here in MA
[Nexus S General] ruben8448:
I came to T-Mobile from sprint. There are both goods and bad. Sprint had a better coverage area in my city but tmobile has speeds that just blow my mind away. You'll love the speeds. The coverage is a little more spotty but honestly its not bad. This is in Phoenix, I am very excited with tmobile, their great here. I only had 1 call drop and that was only cause I was going through a tunnel.
[Nexus S General] MO3iusONE:
It all depends on the area your in.. I had the Dell Venue Pro on Tmobile and I was always having really bad service, It seems like I have slightly better service with the Nexus S.
[Nexus S General] tekkitan:
Agreed. I get excellent coverage here in Cleveland.My buddy in Chicago swears by Sprint. Lots swear by Verizon which for me gets worse signal than my T-mobile. AT&T usually has the most bad rep but so popular because of the beloved iPhone. I'd try and find a friend in Chicago with T-mobile and ask them how their service is. Indoors, downtown, suburbs, etc.
[Nexus S General] RogerPodacter:
good observation, and that's because tmobile actually cant penetrate structures well because their 3g network frequency is very high in the spectrum, 1700/2100 has very poor building penetration, where lower has much better penetration, such as 900 or 850. that's why i always felt i get more with the tier 1 networks, given you are in fact in an 850 area.
[Nexus S General] frenzy757:
I just switched to Tmobile to get the NS from Verizon...

I dont know much about voice cause I dont really call THAT often, but data is faster on Tmobile
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Interesting. Good to know.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] playball78:
A: Having a posting requirement for new users. I understand it cuts down on the "how do i root my phone" posts, but it seems just as bad to require 10 posts in a non-dev section before allowing new users to post in the dev section.

My real issue is that yelp does on work on the virtuous g2 rom. I noticed other people were having the same issue, and I would like to reply to them and let others know that this is a problem. But I have to get 10 posts first. Awesome.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
If your looking for an answer to your problem with yelp FC's on the Virtuous 0.9.0, I seriously doubt that it will get much attention or a solution posting under a thread titled "[Q] Do you know what's dumb?" You might try posting in the Virtuous thread.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PatrickHuey:
its pretty dumb that you wasted a thread on this, actually. haha. they want members to actively participate. 10 posts is not alot at all.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the orange bandit:
there are TONS of ways to participate on XDA to get 10 posts. share your screenshot or some wallpapers - there's 2. Go check out the Q&A section - surely there's something you can contribute to in there.

I realize it's frustrating, but the point isn't to annoy and frustrate new users - it's to prevent new users from annoying and frustrating people who are contributing to the community in general. It's also to encourage new people to participate and contribute in ways other than bug reporting/issue reporting. Not that bug/issue reporting isn't important, but if you come on here, report your bug, and then leave, the community gains nothing. If you join in some of the more community-building threads, the community gains a valuable member.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCRic:
You know what's dumb?

A: Thinking it's cool to post "how do I root my phone" in the dev section. Nuff said.

Anyway, yelp not working isn't something that belongs in the dev section and I'm sure they know they're not alone in that issue, they don't need you to clutter a thread with 'hey, me too!!'. I'm sure there will be a solution to the issue and in the meantime I'd just use the website.

two quick things you can do.

1.Look to see if you have a update.zip file on the internal SD If you do "most likely" clockwork is installed.

2. In recovery select reinstall packages. If the zip is there it will pop you into Clockwork.

I have a few questions.

Can I use google voice on this for video chat?

Which rom can I install to make this feel more like my Droid 2.

Do I need clockwork mod installed before I root.

Is there a guide to rooting this?

Once I completely customize my gtab, is there always going to be a way to do a factory reset on the event I need to send it in for repairs or what not?

So far this seems like a new tab, my first tab ever. I am sickend by the UI and that is the very first thing I would like to change, I have looked around aand it looks like there are 3 different roms to choose from.

I will greatly appreciate any and all answers for my quesions.

Thanks.

Welcome! Read, Search, and read some more. As has been quoted oft times before "search is your friend". Each of the subjects listed is readily answerable here from previous posts. If you get stuck, research some more, and if still you are stumped ask away. Lots of good people here will help but they appreciate a little homework being done upfront first. Have fun and jump in.
[G Tablet General] jwischka:
1) Not yet. Wait for Honeycomb and we should be in business.

2) Depends on what rom you're running on your Droid 2. If you run Cyanogen there, then install Cyanogen on your tab and it'll be identical. Otherwise if you're running more or less stock on your Droid, then there's probably not going to be an exact match.

3) You don't have to "root" per se. The bootloader is already unlocked, so, in essence, you're already rooted. Just install clockwork and you're good to go.

4) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950 will give you restore instructions.

5) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245 tells you how to get up and going with custom roms.

6) Out of the available options, I'd currently recommend VEGAN, though of course it's somewhat of a matter of opinion.

Welcome to the forums, and glad you're here. Let us know if you have other questions.

[G Tablet General] steveninspokane:
I can't ask this there because I have less then 10 posts

But on the guide about installing closkworkmod, I am having an extremely difficult time.

Entering ClockworkMod:

If you want to get into ClockworkMod you need to shut down your device, then press the Power and Volume+ button (the same way you did to install ClockworkMod).

However, when I do that, it is just installing some thing again.

And I don't even know if I installed cwm in the first place.

I unzipped the update.zip and the Recovery folder to the root of the tablet, followed the instructions it showed it updating something, and now trying to enter cwm, all it ever does is repeat the update.
[G Tablet General] sixcoronas:
Delete the update and try to boot into recovery again.
[G Tablet General] steveninspokane:
also, nothing shows up in my root folder on the tablet, and when I downloaded the internal to my tablet, and I tried to copy from downloads and paste in to the root folder, it says paste failed.

EDIT*

So I deleted the clockwork d/l from sdcard/downloads, and tried to boot into recovery, It showed me the same install box, however I had deleted the install zip.

So I am pretty sure I didn't install cwm in the first place.

I don't know how to get the update.zip into the right location, and I don't have a microSD to install it from.
[G Tablet General] steveninspokane:
Cancel that, I don't know what I was doing wrong.

It is now installed.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] slapshot30:
Hey guys, just wondering what light ROMs you guys use to pair with android. As we all know, android is becoming more and more dependable and moving towards something that can be used 24/7. I am currently using deepshining which I love but I get the sleep of death a lot. It is stripped down a lot but still has the essential programs (fileexplorer, PIMbackup, etc).

I'm just looking for something pretty stripped down and fast. Also some good battery life so it gives me as much time as possible for when I boot into android. Thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] arrrghhh:
Well, not sure if this is a solution for you, but a lot use Gen.Y - it gives you a choice on first boot if you want to boot WinMo or Android.

Re-reading your post several times, I'm confused. You say "I am currently using deepshining which I love but I get the sleep of death a lot." <-- you get SoD in WinMo!?!

Honestly, WinMo ROM has NO effect whatsoever on Android - about the only thing that would remotely effect Android is how "light" the ROM is, meaning it doesn't load a lot so you can get into Android quickly - which Gen.Y resolves, you can start booting Android ASAP after boot basically!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] slapshot30:
haha yes, I get SOD in winmo. It's a common bug with the deepshining roms. It has something to do with sending sms and then when you sleep it, sometimes you get a SOD. The guy that makes deepshining roms is moving on and all of us with the bug are sort of left in the dust, that is why I am looking for a new light rom. I have used the Gen.Y program before but just in case, I like a decent rom anyways. Energy is nice but not as fast and battery light as deepshining. I might just try simplicity again.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android General] AkumaX:
technically this rom is practically perfect for booting w/ android; already comes with gen y dual boot, and the android app already points to haret.exe (in root, that is)

the only flaw is that since its a minimalistic barebones, there's no wordpad/notepad editor, which would be useful in editing your startup.txt.

anyways, enjoy!
