I'm not quite sure how to take this statement. I'm not going to respond rudely because I don't want this to turn into a screaming match. But to answer you're question, it's not hard to understand. I was just curious as to how people do this.

I only ever paid full price for one phone years ago and have never been willing to do so since. I've always waited until I'm eligible to upgrade no matter how much it killed me to wait. And, I love gadgets, especially phones but haven't switched frequently in a short period of time. Also I've been with Sprint for a long time and haven't been willing to jump carriers for other phones because I've been happy with my service.

Oh and since this is in the general section of the Evo forums I thought it was ok to post this here.

Same here I graduated a year ago and I'm making entry level 40k :-( but metal is right u don't need college I got a buddy who's 26 in real estate; he's making about 75k with only his RE license smh.
[EVO 4G General] Ryjabo:
I'm not questioning where you posted your question, I'm simply not understanding why you asked it. If you can't afford something, then you can't afford it. If someone else can afford it, then they can. Some people prioritize things differently. Save money. Budget. Etc. It's like basic common-sense stuff.

I'm not even trying to be a jerk, but I can see how it seems that way... I guess...
[EVO 4G General] secondskin:
Ok I gotcha. Thanks for the clarification. :D
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
Most it the tine, I will sell my current phone and buy a buddy's phone, trade phones with friends, Craigslist, and save up $$. I typically change phones every 3/4 months.
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
craigslist!

also i always sell my current phone before i buy another.
[EVO 4G General] kjones2k1:

[EVO 4G General] klbjr:
Well I make over 50k a year but that isn't much after you factor in wife, 2 kids, private schooling, mortgage, car notes & all the expenses that goes along with those things. It's like people said. You have to prioritize if your a gadget person. Like me I've already started saving so when the Evo 3D & Palm tablet comes out. Craigslist is also a good option. I've never sold on there but have friends who do. It also doesn't hurt to have a friend who's a district manager for a bunch a Sprint stores. He get's me all the new phones at new contract price without having to use my upgrade.
[EVO 4G General] Roy Jovero:
Stop paying for pr0n. Problem solved.
[EVO 4G General] craigbailey1986:
I typically don't save for anything but whatever I buy is typically within my budget. I am still in college and don't make over 50k but my wife and I have taken our income tax in the last 3 years and paid off cars and got our mortgage down to only 365.

My point is it doesn't matter how much you make a year as long as you use the money you weren't counting on for long term items instead of short term. O when I do finish college I hope the going rate for a male nurse is still 64k+ in ga, lol..
[EVO 4G General] OneStepAhead:
agreed, i didn't go to college either. thanks to that and my felony record, getting a job was tough. started my own business last year and im on pace to make 60k this year. also, i always sell my previous phone, which many times actually turns a profit. i got $400 for my iphone 3g a couple of days before iphone 4 launched. spent $200 on the Evo and the rest was profit.

this is a dev forum so i wouldn't be surprised to hear most of us make over 50. if you are single, that's enough to buy a new phone every month no problem.
[EVO 4G General] xEVILFREDx:
This thread is funny. Look at it this way kid, go to craiglist.... THere is a lot of sweet deals and people just wanting to switch back to there old or whatever the reason could be. But you can easily avoid paying so much without a contract on craiglist. Enjoy !

I think the gut realizes some can afford it and some can't...pretty simple logic. I think what he was getting at is if there is some trick to doing it to save money that he wasn't aware of. At least that's how I took it.
[EVO 4G General] jacoballen22:
It was a simple unoffensive question, why make it any more them what it is. Anyway, when you don't make went money you have to be more clever. Like selling one electronic to get another. Or doing a trade. Maybe even sell blood, I mean, donate. If you're desperate, sell your body or sperm.

well when the nexus s or evo3d drops ill sell my mint evo for $300 and put whatever else towards the new phones. actually im up for an upgrade on my line, hopefully it will still be there by the time one of these phones drop on sprint. ;)

bottom line is, if your a phone enthusiast like me and most others you gotta be prepared to spend some dow on phones often. the hero and the evo are the two phones ive ever owned the longest so far.

[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
I sell my old phone and use my upgrade. I've been with Sprint since 1999, so I qualify for yearly upgrades off the bat. When I got my Evo, I had a Blackberry Tour which was in great shape save for a scuff on the case from a time that I dropped it. I ordered a new case on eBay for a few dollars, replaced the one on my phone, and sold it on eBay as used but mint condition and with a bunch of accessories. I got top dollar for it and almost the entire $200 I had to fork out for the Evo was covered with the sale of the phone.

Now I'm eligible for my upgrade in early June. If Sprint does release a new bad-boy, then I repeat the process. If they don't release anything I like, I'll sit on the Evo for a bit. I'm still very pleased with it.

Like some else said: I'd rather spend my money on gas and tires. lol

Device is really great at every aspect but earpiece... :(

Speaker volume is not too much but definetely better than desire & desire hd.. Real improvement about speaker is not volume level, i don't know how to define this thing but,, i can say it's increase of resolution or depth of sound..

Screen is great, size is perfect for this kind of power device, but..

Make a few calls, firstly noticed, earpiece volume level is too much, maybe one or two bar of sound level is enough for incall volume.. But even at low levels earpiece sound is distort (buzz).. :(

What is your experience ?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djak420:
HI guys!!!!!!!1

i have a T-mobile galaxy tab unlocked, rooted, and flashed to EURO firmware with stock t-mobile modem. I have set the APN correctly.

PAD: P1000XXJK5

PHONE: T849UVJJB

CSC: P1000OXAJK5

my current provider is Mobilicity which uses AWS(1700/2100) network. I should be able to use phone call, 3G internet and text since both t-mobile and mobilicity are using same network. but i am only able use 3G internet, and text message meaning that phone call doesn't work at all. the two features are working perfectly though.

If i try to make call, the phone/dial app just close itself. nothing happens~ i can't receive the call either

so i am looking for a modem/radio file that is compatible with mobilicity and WIND mobile~

help me out guys
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Not possible with the t-mobile tab.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gr8gorilla:
No but this makes it a certainty that the problem is within the modem. It isn't anything that TMO is doing server side.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djak420:
help me

any one else has an idea?? thank for replies though
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottprotege:
no, you don't get it man. NOBOdY is able to use 3g and phone with a tmo tab in the states. there are threads and threads devoted to this. there is even a bounty thread where someone will get paid over $600 for figuring this out so unfortunatey this is not a "any other ideas?" type situation.

edit :: I forgot about our beloved bulldeeberman or whatev the **** his name was. he claimed to have the secret but pretty sure he was full of ****e the whole time.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djak420:
i heard that you can switch between 3G and phone but i think the phone is only for GSM voice netword which is NOT supported by tmo tab. Can you switch b/w AWS 3G and AWS phone? Where is the files then?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottprotege:
no switching between aws data and aws phone. its only aws data or gsm phone/data.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Sir, did you read any of the threads in the forums? Or any of the previous posts?

You really need to take an hour of reading and study to get up to speed here. No offense intended - just giving you advise. Come back here when you did that and I will work with you to get voice or data and the switch setup. See you later!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djak420:
i know what you mean. i did as much as i could. but there are thousand of posts regarding this issue. i read many of them but it is just confusing me much more. i just wanted to make sure.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
Ok, you have a t-mobile tab. You have the stock t-mobile tab modem, which cannot make phone calls, only internet, email, and text.

Do you get a redirect to a t-mobile website?

Do you want to make voice calls from your tab?

Did you do the unlock and rom flashing?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djak420:
:(

first i rooted

i flashed to euro rom.

i use stock tmo modem

i tried to make call but the phone app just closes itself once i press 'call'.

text works perfectly

3g data works perfectly

only issue is the phone.

i need a modem that supports both AWS 3G and AWS voice but it doesn't exist according to others.

so should i give up?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
You can have both with the Roto modem switcher. He includes a voice+2g modern and a 3g modem, ands instructions to set up a switch. It's in the general section. That'd my set up for t-mobile too.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solo118:
Hey Ranger

I have the redirect problem. I just bought a Tab last week with the eurorom already installed. I just want to clear it out I have no use for the phone dialer. How can I get the original ROM back on so I can get the data to work?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
To get the stock rom, look back a ways in the development threads, for the stock t-mobile rom, and all the steps to install it. You will have to use odin3 and a pc to do the process. Rotohammer is the developer, and I've had to do that before.

When you are back to stock, PM me for the redirect solution. You don't have to go back to stock to avoid the redirect!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polish_express:
I also have a T-Mobile tab, unlocked with overcome 2.0.0 and using it with mobilicity.

I had txt and data working and no phone capability,

after installing the roto modem, nothing works...

How do I reinstall the T-Mobile modem?

Is there no way to have it all?!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvnteck:
Im also in the same situation with the 2 fellow mobilicity user and its been a month now, still looking for answers.

I guess the 2 gave up already and just sold their tmobile galaxy tabs
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
You can have both, but you need to switch between both using an app. Have you seen the rotohammer modem switcher thread?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakkerat:
US Tmobile Galaxy Tab on Wind mobile (Canada)

What I have:

* a T mobile Galaxy Tab from USA (SGH-T849)

* a SIM card for Wind mobile in Canada (phone and data plan) - AWS 1700/2100

What I've done:

* Rooted with Superoneclick

* Flashed Euro with Odin: P1_20100909.pit + JHA.tar, Roto-JMA.tar

* Unlocked carrier

At this point:

* Can't phone, text, or use internet

* Search only finds Wind Away but cannot connect to it ("Sim card doesn't allow a connection to this network"). Phone call ends as soon as you hit send ("Cannot connect to network").

* Randomly it will have an R over the signal bar strength and tab will attempt the call, but eventually times out without ringing. R is pretty flaky

** Only once! I was able to dial out and have the other phone ring. Called back right away from other phone and Tab rang.

Installed Gscript Lite to use Tmobile modem switch:

* "switch to phone/2G"

- Can't phone, text, or use internet (much like above)

- baseband T959TLJL3_ROTO-2G

* "switch to 3G only"

- Text and internet works (phone doesn't work) as expected

- baseband T849UVJJB_ROTO-3G

I would like to know:

1a) Is it even possible to get the phone working on Wind mobile? It is more important to me to get the phone working than the internet (of course, its always the one you can't get :P)

1b) I assumed that since it uses the same AWS as Tmobile, that I should get the Tmobile Galaxy Tab. Is there another version of the Galaxy Tab that I should have gotten that would work (better)?

2) Is there a better modem to be using for the 2G part of Rotohammer's switch? If so, which one, and is it on the stickied modem list? (If not then please provide a link to download)

3) If it is not a modem issue, is there a better method altogether to get the phone working on Wind mobile? If so, how would I go about doing so?

Any input, links, downloads, and ideas would be great.
[Atrix 4G General] jthornton71707:
Is their anyway to make the font bigger on this? It seems awkwardly small to me. My nexus s has the sane screen size and the font and icons are much larger.
[Atrix 4G General] txtsd:
that's because the nexus s has a lower resolution.
[Atrix 4G General] jthornton71707:
So its not possible? There is no hack or market app or anything? ??
[Atrix 4G General] TareX:
Unfortunately, this is an example of Android fragmentation.

When iPhone 4 jumped from HVGA to Retina, it was easy- you just make icons twice as big.

On Android, you have HVGA, WVGA, QVGA, qHD....etc. Icons won't re-size to look bigger on a qHD screen.
[Atrix 4G General] kent c:
You can use Desktop Visualizer to make the buttons look bigger. Basically change then into small widgets.
[Atrix 4G General] moneyrain:
can try change density in system\build.prop
[Atrix 4G General] ownedbycurry:
If you are rooted you can try changing the system font to a custom font that is easier to read. The easiest way to do this is to look for an app on the market called font installer.
[Atrix 4G General] alphadog00:
I bought ADW Launcer EX - it lets me make the icons and fonts as big as I want. Gives it more of a Captivate Touchwiz look, but fills the spaces better - and a lot more options then the stock launcher.

Do you have flash installed?

Also, what app do you use to check the linpack? [edit] nevermind. I found it.

33.614.

3.0.1 with flash installed.

36.14 when I uninstalled flash.

I know it's the same range, but it's strange how everything seems faster without flash installed. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it twice today to see if it made a difference, and I think I'm going to leave it uninstalled until next week.

Speaking of Linpack, how does the iPad2 score this:

Is that just an Android vs iOS thing?
[Xoom General] kjdocs:
First thing I did was unistall flash and then reboot....no good. Then I unintalled most of my apps, reboot, retest, same results. Using linpack app from market.
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
Does your Linpack score somehow have something to do with how your Xoom performs, real world?
[Xoom General] ilogik:
The iPad2 is murdering the xoom in most benchmarks, perhaps it is the better device after all...
[Xoom General] muyoso:
True, but that cannot be the only thing at work here. I mean the iPad2 is scoring 5x better than the Xoom in linpack. I highly doubt that the hardware is 5x better than the Xoom, especially when the iPad2's CPU is only clocked at 900mhz.

I have a limited data plan so want to utilize a laptop to downloaded podcasts then transfer the the podcasts to the Atrix via a USB connection.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strongergravity:
If you use iTunes, make a playlist of podcasts, then use isyncr (on the market) to sync. You can set it to delete files not on the plylist, so it will keep fresh. I use isyncr for music, too.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlridgeway:
Thanks for the replies.

The solution was to use Media Link. I did not know about Media Link. It should have installed on the PC during set-up but did not.

I ran into issues when installing the Atrix. Most of the issues seems to have revolved around the Chrome browser defaulted on my laptop. During installation Media Link would not install and the Portal would automatically open in Chrome. Moto Phone portal does not work full function in Chrome.

The remedy was simple although it took a while to figure this out. I copied the Portal's address from Chrome and pasted into Internet Explorer. I then installed Media Link from the Internet Explorer Moto Phone Portal. Media link and Moto Phone Portal seem to run fine now.
