I just switched from T-Mobile to AT&T and bought a Samsung Infuse.
It seems AT&T removed the option of non-market APK apps install even if T-Mobile still allow to install it.
Can anybody tell me how to install non-market APK apps into Samsung Infuse without rooting?
Settings > applications > check unknown sources
What apk is that for T-Mobile apk only, I want that T-Mobile app that you can call 5 number without spending your minutes, share it wahahaha. I know its not an app lol

the infuse is the first att branded phone that has the ability to sideload apps out of the box. you can install your apk no problem. you may need astro, to get to the apk or to enable browser downloading of it.

It's called "A-list" should be included in your plan. Depending on your plan

A-list is pointless now. My plan allows for unlimited mobile to any mobile on any network. So basically my plan minutes are only for landlines and of course they rollover.
But about T-Mobile, it would be nice to have a WIFI calling app on AT&T.

Is there any app that you can call over 4g or wifi so it doesn't use plan minutes cause we only have 750 a month and my parents weren't happy with me cause I used like 350 of them talking to my girlfriend. Thanks in advance

If you add wifi calling to you plan you can uses the wifi app that comes with the stock roms and it will not use plan minutes. You have to make sure it is added our it will use plan minutes.

Instead of messing with all those settings you might want to look into an app called 'auto ap', it is in the market. What it does is when your phone connects to wifi it will automatically put it in airplane mode & start groove ip. That way groove ip won't fight with the native phone app to answer incoming calls. Works great & makes it easier for you to keep track of your mobile minutes.
Just downloaded grooVe can't wait to try it out

Unlimited 4g. I'm sure you've all heard about it. I went and checked it out. Apparently the only catch is you can't hotspot. But since I'm rooted and running cm7 I should be able to still use hotspot with a third party app, right?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Tethering is built into cm7, no need for an app.. and you might need to change the user agent on the device you tether so you don't get the tmobile redirect.

I am on the unlimited 4g, if I use Firefox, default settings, it seems to work fine. IE blows in the first place, but for the sake of mentioning it, and doesn't work, routes everything to a page telling me to buy tethering. I can also torrent just fine. I guess part of it is just the port it's set to listen on, 80, and if there is activity on other ports, so what.
Edit: also, SSL sites work.

I use the hotspot for my laptop and my lady's g2x. She is on the monthly 4g I'm not concerned with using my laptop, it's her g2x that worries me. I don't see how tmobile would catch on. But I wanted to run it by you guys before switching and potentially voiding my contract

so what your saying here is that if i switch to the New Unlimited Nationwide 4g data package i wont be able to tether my tablet to my phone?
That's what they told me but (I may be wrong) if you are using a custom rom or just rooted with a thrid party hotspot app tmobile want be able to detect or stop you, right?

bit the bullet and switch to the unlimited 4g plan and i havent had any problems with surfing the web or streaming media on my tablet tethered to my phone. i have gtab 2 with cm10 and g2x with cm7.
Okay. So I bought an unlocked g2x brand new from Amazon. Everything almost works as it should: calling,wifi,texting ....the thing is I cannot send or receive picture messaging.
I spent hours on the phone with T-Mobile (ironically bought an unlocked phone that was originally T-Mobile to use on T-Mobile network. Funny right?) and they say because the imei number is unlocked I am unable to do picture messaging without a data plan. I can't afford a data plan right now.
Anyways I'm hoping there is a way to change the imei number back to being T-Mobile specific. In other words: I want to lock my unlocked phone back to T-Mobile.
All I want is picture messaging. I shouldn't have to have a data plan to achieve this. Can anyone please help?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
It shouldn't be your imei, it's your apn settings. Go to settings, wireless, network settings and make sure your apn is set for tmobile.
My phone is unlocked and I send pictures without a data plan. Just remember that you need to have mobile data enabled. It uses data technically, but it's incorporated with your texting plan.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
You sir are a genius. That actually fixed my problem.
Now, I have data blocked on my phone so I shouldn't be able to use the data thing even if I tried. ...
I did activate that setting and upon successfully sending a text,the 4g logo does come up where my signal strength and battery are shown. Can you confirm this to be normal? I don't want any extra charges on my next bill....
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Call them and make sure there's a data block on your phone. You won't get charged. And yes the 4G logo will show when sending an mms.

I spoke with the T Mobile representative. I believe her exact words were : Now you're not supposed to have multimedia messaging on an unlocked phone, But it's changing that setting give you the ability to do so then that is great.
Haha. But yeah she basically is telling me what you guys Are telling me I cannot thank you enough.

Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Data turned on when downloading it? Edit your APN, make sure the APN is set to etc.tmobile.com, mmsc set to mms.msg.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc, mac set to 310, mnc set to 260

Did you mean to put "Epc.tmobile. " on access point names?
Would I be asking to much for a little help navigating to those particular settings?
Thanks redmonke.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Ok after rereading, I see you said to edit my apn, which I assume is short for access point names. Should I edit the only one that is there which is "T-Mobile us, Epc.tmobile. com "
Or should I create a new one?
This is of course assuming that apn is access point names.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
I did what you suggested, although I had to Create a new apn rather than edit the original because the original will not let me edit it....
After creating the new one, I suspect maybe a miss type in the settings. "Etc " is what I believe you said, but upon using that setting I could no longer send pics.
Once I changed it to "epc " I was able to do so.....
Anyways after creating the new apn as per your suggestion, I noticed that it was an exact mirror of my original apn.
But here's the kicker:
I was able to receive pics so long as my buddy selected to forward it rather than sending it directly (if that makes any sense) .
I then tried to have him compose a fresh message and select a pic to send....to no avail. I also had another friend attempt to do the same only to achieve the same results.
I am having zero issues sending pics.
And so long as data is enabled, I am able to do so.
Its the receiving pics that is giving me the issues.
I don't understand why I can receive forwarded pics....
If anyone can help I suppose I can send my cell number,(with great apprehension) ,via pm to someone who is willing to trouble shoot....

Root no, if a factory restore doesn't then I'd wipe data and install cyanogenmod and see if it works.

A couple days ago I checked my data usage and Google services alone totaled to ~12gb for a 10 day span of time. I decided to try and wipe/reflash (I'm running black bean v6) but now it's been 14 hours since i reflashed and I'm already back up to 377mb. I keep my data off unless I'm using it and I have all my Google sync turned off. Any ideas?

Do you sync photos? Perhaps instant upload or picasa albums?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
I use Now and it doesn't use anything like that.
If I look at even one whole month of data usage history Google Services has only used about 5Mb - and that's cellular and wifi combined.
Do you stream media or anything ? It seems like some kind of a mistake or error to me, but maybe not.
I have Google using crazy amounts of data too. I think it has something do with Google Backup. You could try Backup off from Settings>Backup and Reset
I don't know if that solves the problem buts it's worth a shot I guess...
