If once you start tethering and your data usage goes way up, it may well be noticed.

IMO, the tether isn't a replacement for home web access, as that will bring obvious attention to your level of data consumption.

However, usage increases from time to time from tethering should be fine.
[Droid Incredible General] ProTekk:
I'm easily eating 5-10 GB a day using wired tether. No throttle and no one at Verizon crying to me about my usage. You'll be fine.
[Droid Incredible General] snapper915:
Ok. Just wanted to make sure. Thanks for everybody's input. :-)

[Windows Phone 7 General] erebusting:
I currently have a MT4G with tmobile (and I like the phone...)...but I have wanted a WP7 phone since they came out, but I cannot justify spending 300$ on one .... so I was thinking 'should I get an HD2 and put WP7 on it?' but then I felt that it would be buggy and such and I would like a smooth wp7 experience...

so my question is, what options are there for me (I cannot use an upgrade, I am stuck with tmobile so I need one compatible with them [I guess, right?])...?

Thanks for your advice and help...
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
You are better off staying with a real WP7 device. The HD2, as good a device as it is, can't provide the whole WP7 experience permanently. You'll have to perjure yourself to get a key from MS to use the main features of WP7. And then, after each update...if the updates actually start coming...you'll have to do it all over again and likely MS will nullify the ability to use their keys.

If you start buying apps with a fake WP7, you might lose them later on. Buy an HD7 from T-Mobile or go to AT&T and snag a Focus. You won't regret it once the updates start happening...if ever. WP7 is a super smooth, super clean experience.
[Windows Phone 7 General] YannieBoy:
You can try other stores besides the retail store to see if their flexiable with the upgrade period. Wirefly, Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Radio Shack, Etc.
[Windows Phone 7 General] lekki:
You could ask for the factory unlock from T-Mobile. Unlock the MT4G, sell it on Craiglist and use the money to buy the HD7.

You can also go on a payment plan with them and give them $15 bucks a month until you have the money to pay for a new phone.

I'm doing that right now with my HD7, but only because I have the sneaking suspicion some new phones are going to come out to blow the current crop out of the water.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Which is exactly why I'm saving money for one of them. These current gen phones will be "Kin'd" before too long and the good hardware will move it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] renster721:
Sell your MT4g on ebay and buy the HD7 there also. Even a used MT4g is only a little cheaper than a new HD7. A lot of people are willing to trade on craigslist also.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
I really don't know why you guys complain that much. In Brazil I just bought a WP7 (unsupported here yet). And I paid R$ 1.400,00. That is something about U$ 850,00.

My iPhone 4 I've paid R$ 1.800,00. Or U$ 1.125,00.

And yes, If i were you, I would buy a WP7 in a blink.
[Windows Phone 7 General] erebusting:
Well you have to understand, there ARE differences in economy so over here we have different options on pricing....doesn't mean that just because it costs wayy more in other locations that we should be buying them like crazy over here.... we have to think about things like that (at least I do, especially since I am not rich [yet ])...

So I am thinking of possibly getting a samsung focus (but the 3g would not work with tmobile...right?)...or the HD7... but like 'likki' said, phones are continuously upgrading so saving 15-20$ extra a month sounds pretty practical because by the time it is saved up I may not even want to get another phone (haha) or there will be better options out there....
[Windows Phone 7 General] mikeeam:
Have you ever tried out a HD7? I think it is too big. The Trophy 7 have a perfect size screen. Not too big, nor too small.

Maybe you should try. I wouldn't buy a Samsung because of the update issues (yeah, they may have fixed, still, it was the only one with problem. I wouldn't risk).

Don't worry about the next season of WP7 handsets. Probably they don't need anything beyond our 1 GHz processor. Not for now. And I think this should last for 2 years of software updates until they need to update the hardware too.

I don't know about US 3G network. But, at least here, my Trophy works with every carrier.

And I liked the "yet" hahahah. That's the spirit! Hell yeah!
[Windows Phone 7 General] erebusting:
any advice? should I get an htc surround and be happy with Edge on tmobile or something? (since it may be cheaper than an HD7 ? idk)
[Windows Phone 7 General] ROCOAFZ:
Try ebay...

I got my HTC Surround for 180.00

It looks brand new although it had no box and not original charger. Thing works like a champ. My contract actually is up for renewal in May but i decided not to wait as i could resell it if i did not like it. I'm definately not reselling it. It's awesome!
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
LG Quantums all over Ebay for 180-200 dollars and they're in my opinion the third best US released device

Dell Venue Pro>Focus>Quantum

I want to like HTC's devices but their battery life is just terrible and the Surround feels like a gag phone.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Surround is pretty terrible all around. If you like big screens and you're on T-Mobile, then you have one really good choice and one decent choice.

TBQH, WP7 is so Cloud dependent that I would not want to be stuck on Edge all the time.

I can't even fathom what that experience would be like.

Edge is for Blackberries, Eseries, and Feature phones...
[Windows Phone 7 General] erebusting:
Ok so I have the opportunity to get the dvp or hd7 for the same price...which one should I get ? The dvp doesnt seem to have as much action in the forum ...it has less ram and no htc apps , plus its a lil bulkier....the screen size doesnt bug me becauase they are similar...

Any ideas please
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
The DVP's screen is much better. The Speakers are better. The Camera is worse. It has a Physical keybaord (quite a nice one). It sitll has 512 RAM which is more than good enough. It comes in a 16 GB variant and if you're feeling Giddy you can upgrade the storage becasue it has an accessible SD Card Slot.

It tends to have better performance than the HTC phones, as well. The build quality is noticeably better.

There is no such thing as a BB Bold 9800, BTW (that's the Torch). Which Blackberry are you actually selling, asd is it a T-Mobile Branded BB?

Personally, if I was faced with that choice, I'd get the Dell.
[Windows Phone 7 General] jessiethe3rd:
Focus... Ignore update hocus pocus ... Its the and least expensive phone

Sent from my SGH-i917 using Board Express
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Robot Cow:
Download Launcher 7 for your mt4g.

Makes your android look like a w7 phone lol.

Yes I know it wont transform your phone into a full fledge w7 phone but its a good alternative and its free.
[Windows Phone 7 General] z33dev33l:
DVP over HD7 any day... When you hold both of them you can just tell which one is better at a glance or with use... better performance, better screen, they actually have the same amount of ram, it's just generally one hell of a step up from the HD7 to the DVP.
[Windows Phone 7 General] erebusting:
thanks for noticing that about my sig...lol...I will change it when I get around to it though...haha

thanks, I tried it and it is nice -although I am more interested in the games on WP7... =) ...too bad they cant be emulated (yet... ?)

Thanks, I did not notice that they had the same amount of ram...some review(s) I read/watched said that it had 256? idk...

thanks for all of the advice it is really helpful...

(damn, why do all the TMobile WP7 devices have to be the ones at $300 and up...??? it is not that worth it to spend even 200 on a phone to just use edge..-i think)

its a tough decision, considering the prices and then considering the functionality / quality as well.... (although it sucks that the current wp7 devices are not very much up to par with these newer phones....namely the 'no FFC' thing bugs me)
[Windows Phone 7 General] uncled1023:
I currently have the HTC Surround, and I have had no complaints with it. I do not understand why everyone is hating it. It has amazing speakers, feels very sturdy, 16 glorious gb's of memory, and has the same exact os as all the others. And some may say that the LCD screen is not as brilliant as the focus's AMOLED screen. But I personally like the screen.

In the end, it is up to your personal preferences.
[Windows Phone 7 General] erebusting:
Thanks all of you for your helpful words of advice and comments... it has helped me a lot...I have decided to go with the DVP...now I am not sure if I should go with upgrading the sdcard to 32gb? haha, but I have not even gotten the phone yet...

[Galaxy Tab General] lilguy227:
My birthday was this friday and my dad asked me what i wanted. I did want a dog but i guess it was completley out of the question. So i said i wanted a tab. So wala. Im a full time student in college and im a junior. When i first started to play with the tab, i quickly realized it was kinda like a super sized samsung vibrant for shrek. I do like it though. I dont have data and this is a straight up wifi device. So far ive just been video chatting with it. What else can i really use this for? Also should i root it? Sorry if this has been asked before
[Galaxy Tab General] galexandr:
I too am a college student,

I use my tablet almost daily, I did root, mainly to change the WPA file to be able to connect to ADHOC wireless signas, primarily from my phone (HTC Touch Pro2)

Things i do:

1. Watch Videos (movies or youtube)

2. Read PDF's and DOC; i use DROP BOX which allows me to sync 2 gigs of data between my MAC and PC, and allows me to browse that content from my tab, its pretty neat, it doesnt 'sync' the tab, it downloads files as you open them.

3. I installed this cool GPS app called NAVIGON, check around on forum, pretty interesting,

4. Email and web surfing when too lazy to sit at the desk!

If you want more questions, ask, if you want to set up Drop Box, let me know i'll give you my link, that way i'll get some POINTS

Enjoy!
[Galaxy Tab General] sbrownla:
Well, the Galaxy S appears to just have gotten set up for an update to Froyo, so we may not be without an official update at some point.

Just keep checking back to see what people are able to come up with on here. It is very well-built, and just has stock software issues. Battery = pretty great. Data plans on T-Mobile ... awful.

But yeah, we will see.

Enjoy.
[Galaxy Tab General] Phone_Junkie:
Check out Gun Bros. It's free in the Marketplace. My Tab is used with Wi-Fi only as well. I use mine for email, reading, posting on XDA. I have a Slingbox at home. When we travel my son uses the Slingbox app on the Tab, which I tether to my Nexus One. It works FLAWLESSLY!

I live in Arizona where we don't observe daylight savings time. However, on Sunday all of my recurring calendar events (both google calendar and exchange) were suddenly one hour early. My exchange calendar on my computer still shows the correct time but the google calendar is wrong both on my phone and online. This leads me to believe it is a google/android issue. Anyone else have this problem? I have tried checking my time zone, flashing a fresh rom, clearing calendar data. Nothing works.

Thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oka1:
Should be the carrier signal not google. The carrier controls the time signal, the Carrier may not care that Arizona is the only state that doesn't recognize daylight saving time

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
When you go to date/time in settings, how are your settings there?

If it's right, and it's right on everything else but your email client... then there are settings in that app that need to be adjusted.

My wife's exchange calendar was off a few hours when she came back from LA. I looked in the settings of touchdown, removed all of her calendar events and then added them back... once they were added back everything was a okay.

It's not google/android. It's an app.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelcripes:
It was wrong on my Google calendar though. Even when accessing through my computer.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k4ylr:
My calendar was off until I rebooted. I'm in Hawaii and we don't observe DST either.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drewstein:
Then it has nothing to do with your phone...

Check your calender settings.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelcripes:
But times are also wrong on my exchange calendar on my phone. When I access my exchange calendar at work via outlook the times are correct. That's why i believe its a google/android problem.

Hello,

I am running CM7 RC2 on my Evo. I was recently informed by my girlfriend that my phone has her blocked and always rolls her into voicemail. Upon further inspection and testing, I found that my phone actually rolls EVERYONE into voicemail.

I can make calls and receive texts just fine. No issues there. I do not have google voice installed on my phone currently (thought that might have been the issue), but I did before. I have google voice setup to transcribe my voicemails, and whenever someone does leave me message, Google still sends me the voicemail in a text message.

I have Dialer One as my main phone application. The stock CM7 Phone app is also still installed.

Calls do not show up nor light my screen nor play my ring tone at all when someone is calling me. INTERESTING SIDE NOTE: Dialer One does seem to record the calls in my call log (not sure about the Stock Phone App)...

Any ideas? Is this some sort of Phone/Dialer One incompatibility issue?? I know that it used to work, and honestly im not sure how long the functionality has been broken (i rarely receive calls anyways..)

I have a Market app and an Atrix user has reported a problem. My app uses Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() to get the phone's user storage location to keep the user's files. However, with the Atrix there seems to be both internal AND external storage, and Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() only returns the handle to the INTERNAL storage.

How can I get the location of the EXTERNAL storage area for the Atrix? (Hopefully this will not require a hard-coded check of Build.MODEL. But, if it does, what is the Build.MODEL value for the Atrix?)

Thanks for your help,
