At&t has good coverage, in exchange for your wallet and first born.
Att is not that bad if you have a friend/buddy right you up on a corporate discount. I'm saving 20% by "working" for Coke.
Ahh, too true. I've known some buddies employed with them. Amazing discounts. And they do let you have android devices now, instead of just the iPhone.
Side note, did you see the new south park episode with the ihumancentipede? ewwwww

Well see I'm not quite 18 so I can't get a phone In my name yet and I've been in four contracts and was the only one who payed the bill. So for another 5 months I'm stuck trying to find a good prepaid deal. And it would be nice to have decent working internet. I'm wanting to go back to at&t but I think there prices are fixing to go up once they buy out t mobile

This has been known for a while .
I don't see this being a problem for very long especially on htc, considering that phones like the holiday will more then likely have international "brothers/sisters", that means there will be dev support worldwide working to break open a phones boot loader. I would assume the only reason it hasn't been done to the atrix, is because honestly the phone is a flop. Blur put a bad taste in everyones mouth and not alot of people want to mess with moto.
If you hit up other htc phone boards here on xda there are literally hundreds of developers working on htc phones. I have said it before where there is a will there is a way.
Atrix is no flop

Locked bootloaders do much harm to the phones' sales. I like the sense rom but the default stock one comes with a lot of bloat and poor battery performance. I flashed the dilligaf's V2 rom and my phone now flies. When the manufacturers cannot unleash the full potential of the phone, why the hell do they have to lock their bootloaders for?

HAHAHA! That's funny sh*t.
Anyways... If the manufacturers and Phone companies would actually leave the phones open, we wouldn't have this issue.
It wouldn't be too hard for them to do...build a recovery image right into the phone. If something screws up, they is a keypress sequence that would force install factory firmware. Bam...No more brick, and start over. I know I have reference the PSP in several other posts, but they did it right. Maybe the phone manufacturers should take a hint.
There is a PSP dev that goes by Dark_Alex... He created the "Despertar del Cementerio." This translates to "Wake the Dead." This was a service battery and memory stick combo that would literally UNBRICK your PSP. I actually have one, and have purposely killed the power during a firmware update to test it. And it works! Anyways, the point is...this is VERY possible with these phones, no one has done it yet tho.

Haha, I LOLed at work when I read this.
ATT seems to have something to do with this. If I hadn't been able to root my inspire I'd probably have returned it. Too much bloat. Bloated on a phone like that males it even worse (also I never liked MOTO)

Well if its not rootable and cannot access recovery,then I don't bother. I was walking thru fryys when I saw the inspire and knew I had to get it. Trading my sgs vibrant+$150 for a new inspire sounded great to me. But I didn't think if the bootloader was unlocked or not. Luckily,it was. I got Lucky on this one

I'm curious to see how many users here are on WIND (Canada) and how many are on T-Mobile (USA). Post if you're on a different provider as well.
One thing that has bothered me about CM7 is the inclusion of Kineto, the Wi-fi calling app. It's a proprietary T-Mobile app (doesn't work with WIND), it seems strange to be included in a "AOSP-like" ROM, so I'm just curious to see what the ratio is actually like
T-Mobile.
Mobilicity here I wonder how many of other mobilicity people use this phone. I don't mind having to remove Kineto every time I flash a new rom. Most the developers are with t-mobile anyways , so its just a little compromise to use their awesome roms. I hope they keep up their great work!

On some tests i see that Tmobile One S has inferior battery life than the international one.
That's due to the bloatware they put on it. Rooting fixes that though.

No disrespect--just curious
Why would you be "new to the One S" and now asking if you should get something else and wondering about issues. If you mean you don't have it yet then there are many threads and posts on the forum already. And as far as I can say, it is perfect if you are OK with no SD Card and 9.3gb available internal memory--I am. Some complain on Multitasking--I have no issues. Although, all that is individual needs and opinions--and is covered extensively in various threads--
Highly recommend starting to read the General and Q&A sections for a wealth of info--
Whatever your currrent status is with the phone--enjoy it if you got it--and you will enjoy it, if you buy it--

I love the phone only thing I've noticed is multitasking, and signal. With regards to multitasking what happens is let's say you're web browsing or playing a game whatever then you do something else like check xda app. When you go back a lot of times instead of those apps continuing where they left off from it has to start up back again. It actually does it for xda app also. With the signal cell tower signal I just get a lot of fluctuations between bars dropping and coming back.

I flashed Trickdroid and Axiom S and wifi calling still not usable. I have turrible reception in parts of my house.
I wonder if the crappy wifi calling quality has its root in an buggy radio, if another ROM is also suffering from it? Anyhow, that is really the only "defect" I can find with this model. Otherwise, it's good! I wish it would have a removable SD card, but I recall reading somewhere in the forums that it is possible to mount external drives and such on this phone, but you need a USB Y cable (since the phone can't power the external device), or at least that's what I remember. One might also need a ROM to use the phone as a USB host. The possibility to do this makes me a little less upset over having just 16 GB of memory (or on TMob US only 10GB because of all the junk it comes with).
GS3 FTW!
Earlier today I received a notification that said I needed to get a newer sim for WiFi calling. I'll stop by the T-Mobile store tomorrow(today).

Wouldn't Verizon stand to potentially make more money with the download booster? If people are using data more when downloading they would be more apt go over their data limit?

You're assuming that people who download faster are gonna download more stuff....not necessarily true....
And if it's not true, then all download booster is doing is taking up extra unnecessary bandwidth
Having the ability to go faster is all I wanted. I hate waiting for a download to finish just on my wifi because it is faster and like roms are usually more than 300 mb per update. If people didn't download more stuff it would still probably make some people upgrade another 2gb so they don't go over and take advantage of the download booster. That is what I would do. Another 10 a month for more data and take advantage of the faster speeds.

Download Booster
There's another forum for the S5 that gives you a way using an alternate launcher to access download booster. The one thing stopping it once turned on is the ability to turn on the specific mobile network mode.
Nova launcher allows you to add shortcut then go to settings and find download booster. It's one of the selling points for the phone that I enjoy. I'm from a rural area so when I go home to visit I want to combine the connections when needed.
