I dont pay any monthly service fee, I pay for my plan which is 79.99+ tax. I get no service at my house so I'm always connected to wifi. Doesn't cost anything extra, doesn't use my monthly plan minutes. So what does this app do that is so special/different than the stock app. I wont be losing any sleep either. WORD.

You could in fact be throttled. Did you recieve a text for T-Mobile about them slowing down you data for the rest of the cycle? Throttling is when T-Mobile slows down your data because you overused it, during your month cycle. Hell, I'm on a 5GB cap and I'm throttled. ): Guess you can complain to T-Mobile or wait it out.
Wow I did get a text like that wifi is good though right? Anyway thanks boss for the info

Nope...once you go to SM you are free of T-Mo. However, if you use Wifi calling or other T-Mo branded items you will not be able to use them on SM.
I did have a data loss last week with Simple here in Sacramento. They had tower issues. But nothing else of consequence.
One issue that I have had. On virtually every ROM is editing the APN. YOu can usually edit it once, but when you go back in often the APN's do not show up. Food for thought.
Lol. Hmm thank God. I'm going to get sm tomorrow. Thank you very much.

Actually you can and do get 4g depending on where you are located. I am in Sacramento and get 4g speeds on SM.
Your plan also has to do with speeds. If yo are on the $40.00 plan yes, you are restricted to 3g. If you pay $60.00 then you get 4G.
And no you do not have to unlock for SM.
They do offer a $60/month plan that has 4G. As usual the giant word plastered all over their website and retailers is "unlimited" - which, as we all know, is a load of crap. Yes it's "unlimited internet" - however you get 1gig at 4G - then the rest of the month you're throttled to a whopping 56k (so useless you can't even stream a song with it).
As for the disappearing APN problem - if you run the CM7 ROM, and you're APN's are not in there - all you have to do is pull the battery out, restart the phone, and the APN's are back in. Also as pointed out the specialized apps for t-mobile like the wifi calling app won't work.
Anyway - all that being said - I've been on Simple with my G2X for 3 months and it works quite well for me. Only wish they offered more data in the plans - so I try to stay connected to a wifi hotspot as much as possible.
I thought there flyer says 2gigs of data hahaha on the 60 dollar
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Yes you do have to be unlocked on simple mobile. You cannot use a simple mobile sim in a locked phone. You also get 2gigs of data on the $60 plan and 4g if available in your area.

ok... well all custom roms have wireless hotspot baked into them which allows up to 5 devices to access your 3g/4g data connection. Best thing about the hotspot feature is that it won't use up your data plan since your rooted and it's usually a paid service you have to buy when your not rooted. However if your just tethering by a usb cable you would be throttled after your 2gb limit.
Have you enabled wireless hotspot in setting's before it will work as long as you have an active data plan.

I haven't reached my 5g cap yet. It stopped me when I hit 4g of data. I'm still fast but just no tethering is being allowed.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
You could use an app called easy tether that has a one time fee of $10 if not your stuck with limited free version. This tricks the ADB interface so it doesn't show up as tethered so it will only show up as regular data from your phone not a PC.
Also if your using tmo network there is no way around their tracking and throttling of speed. A while back we could get around data throttling but i believe they caught on. If you running into hitting your cap use 3g watchdog and give yourself a daily limit and the app will alert you that you hit it
Remember when your on a pc it doesn't know your on a mobile network so keep youtube quality at its lowest. If your watching youtube at 720p you will hit your cap easily.
If your using netflix you will hit tour 5g cap in about 3movies at 720p.
Now the trick is is getting wireless tethering to work lol

Well not exactly. If you buy the phone out of contract then you can use the phone without a data plan. That's exactly what I did with my G2X and I don't have any data plan on it. They also aren't bugging me to get one either.

Like another poster stated, they only force you in to a plan w/data if you pick up a new phone through contract. Out of contract deals are totally safe and you can use wifi for Internet all you want
My mom apparently asked a person at the tmobile store if this was possible and he said no because the phone will search for internet and update itself and then you will get charged for data usage. Do you have to turn the data off on the phone?

To get the unlimited data you have to pay I think an extra $10 or some sort of extra fee but the unlimited data doesn't include hotspot, for hotspot you have to pay for it seperately.

Neither of us rooted, and neither of us got charged for using it. Both of us on T-Mobile.
I just upgraded to unlimited w/out hotspot. Only $10 more then my previous 2GB plan. I seem to remember some rooted ROMs getting around it awhile back though. Haven't tried, but hoping I can get around it still.
