Well I guess the Fuze is going back

Well I love this phone but between the speeds, having to try different hacks and the even worse battery life. I'm going back tomy BJII at least for now.
I think that ATT will be revamping the radio, but until then I guess its going back to the store. I really like phone but its hard to rationalize the price I paid for the phone.
I'm really hoping they revamp the radio firmware or come out with some big new update for the phone
what issue are you having with the radio? is this the FM radio or the cellular radio?

Too bad its not working out for you. I personally think that the fuze is the best WM6 phone available at this time.
Stop crying seriously forever who wants to take it back fine. We all already have our touch pros. If you wanna stay on the cutting edge plan for setbacks. I think you neeed the iphone go bother them with worthless thread avout taking the phone back because everyday I read ohh whine... i'ma that the phone back TF3D is to slow or GPS lock is to slow somthing really its getting old.
No offense, but why do people feel the need to make a thread telling people they're returning the fuze? Are they trying to justify the return by posting a thread here or what? Obviously those of us who haven't returned it like our Fuze so far. Perhaps we should stick to more constructive threads so we can share our experiences to help make Fuze a better device for everyone, instead of making public announcements like this. Frankly, I don't think anyone cares if someone returns his/her Fuze and sticks to BJI/II/Tilt/miscellaneous.
Cuz I was bored and sso tired of doing work, needed something to break the stress. I know no one really cares but oh well you can delete if you want no biggie.
asingic Sorry to be a **** man but honestly it seems like people are threatening the forum with taking the phone back. My last post might have been a little harsh but I think that was the 3rd thread I opened that said they where going to take the phone back.
------------------
no worries ... its the internet...
what was more annoying was the iphone comment haha. I hate that thing never gave it a serious look HAHA
I understand what you meant. hell I hated the thread where people were saying .... ooooh the official date this and the official date that. I'll still be reading here probably posting
It does look like the phone performance may be more localized anyway be it the bjII, iphone or the fuze.

Don't be so defensive. Just because he's returning his Fuze, doesn't mean your phone is any less worthy. I, for one (apparently), like to know when someone is going to return, and why. It helps to create an informed consumer. If I wanted a completely biased opinion, i'd just go to the HTC or At&t website to get "the facts".

If it was a good review then yeah it would be a good post. But "Well I love this phone but between the speeds, having to try different hacks and the even worse battery life. I'm going back tomy BJII at least for now" The Speed of what? TF3D? What hacks? How bad is your battery life? And if it was 1 post it would be okay. I bet I can find I dozen posts with the same useless type of information in it that just end in I'm returning the phone.

WOW - this is NOT the tweet I wanted to read...

Kmobs just tweeted this: "So.... looks like I don't have a mytouch 4g anymore... ups says delivered... and there is nothing at my door. Fml"
No - I wish I could say I'm joking - but I'm not...
I wonder what the impact on us getting CM is going to be...
Kmobs already had a MT4G, so i am not really sure what UPS was delivering
He just posted an update, "Guys the mytouch I have now I bought full price and am going to remorse. Got it early to work on for you. the other was cheap and is gone."
Yeah, I'm a bit confused as well.

I bought a full price mytouch to work on (and then remorse) as my cheap one came from my friend. The cheap one was supposed to be delivered today but nothing came to my door. I have to return the mytouch I currently have in my possession to T-Mobile.
I'm going to contact UPS tomorrow.
I'd be willing to make a donation to help replace it - I don't have a lot but if it would help?
Thank you for the offer, but I really don't want to accept money. I plan on moving on when the Nexus S comes out so I do not feel it would be fair.
Looks like I'll be sending this phone back tomorrow. Seems this phone is not gonna get to much love from the devs.

This is exactly the kind of crap that's bringing these forums down. A handful of devs make stuff for a phone, and thousands of people follow. Nobody is willing to do anything for themselves anymore. So you're going to return your phone(which is a fantastic phone by the way), because somebody isn't going to make themes and there won't be a bajillion different roms available?
I first started with xda back in the day when I had my t-mobile SDA. I got ahold of an mda with a then unreleased WM6 rom from a microsoft mvp and I uploaded it to xda. I made a few windows mobile roms for myself and shared them in the forums. And I modified some apk's in the nexus one forums. I don't just 'know' how to do this stuff. I learned it because I wanted to. I didn't wait for somebody to give me what I want. I did it for myself, and then I shared.
This is how it used to be at xda. Now it's just 'gimme gimme gimme'.

Know what's funny? The fact you're pissed because I made a decision for myself! I don't have the time to learn how to do all of this or else maybe I would attempt to contribute.

It's not even that for me, it's more that daunting feeling that something newer and better will come out shortly and I might regret not having waited. I'm not saying the Nexus S will be better, but it's intriguing enough that part of me thinks I should at least give it a try. No harm in comparing right? That's how I decided between the G2 and MT4G and boy am I glad I didn't settle for the G2. I realize how unsustainable and dissatisfying this attitude is since there will always be something "bigger and better" right around the corner, just can't help it

I'm not at all pissed. I'm sad. I'm sad that a forum that was once full of people willing to contribute is now full of people that are 'too busy'. Last week, I worked just under 50 hours, painted my kitchen, replaced the counter-tops, installed a new sink, faucet, and garbage disposal, painted the cabinets, pulled the motor from my motorcycle, cleaned the gutters, raked and mowed my lawn(last time for the season), picked up my 3 girls every day(like I do every day), made dinner every night(wife doesn't get home til after 6)....and guess what? I STILL found time to pull apart rosie.apk and started modifying xml's because people are getting excited now that the mytouch is rooted and I wanted to contribute.
You are NOT too busy. I can assure you of that.
Well, for me, I'm gonna tough it out...

Ya I hear you there. I get like that sometimes. But mainly because I just like gadgets. I bought the nexus one while I was watching their press release. I pressed the refresh button in my browser until the order page went live.
I too got the g2 when it came out, while it was a great device, I found that I didn't need the keyboard, and the added thickness that comes with it. So I traded it in for the mytouch.
The problem with these devices is that they're not THAT different from each other. They all have this or that little feature, but it's all the same underlying hardware. 1ghz cpu, bunch of ram, hd recording...blah blah blah. It gets old after a while. If my company didn't take over my phone contract and pay for my upgrade, I would have gladly kept my nexus one. To this day, it's still my favorite phone. It's just so damn solid.
The mytouch is similar in form, but without all the metal of the nexus, it's just not the same. Anyways, I forgot the point I was trying to make, but we have to tell my girls this all the time "you get what you get, and you don't get upset". You picked that device for a reason, now ride that ***** 'til the wheels fall off!
just my 2 cents i personally feel if cyanogen isnt handling the rom for the phone it never seems to get done the right way look at the vibrant i still think devs will make roms for it no disrespect to anyone..

I'm thinking of starting to mod this device, just not sure where to start looking for information. I've never messed with it much before, it's been years since I've done any programming and I've pretty much forgotten everything. But, I'm always willing to learn new things
Kmobs had a working CM6 besides camera and a couple of other features on his MT4G... it should all get sorted out and we will get CM6. Instead of complaining and resorting to another phone because it was out earlier and has CM6 already... Why not actually contribute by helping trying to work and mod the phone you picked and for that reason.

Returning a phone because one dev hasn't done anything with it yet in the barely-two weeks its been out? Seems a little extreme, lol

Well since metropcs and this phone is the same, most likely the root metro has will root it.

Rooting Huh?
Well after spending a second day trying to solve my problem I had superuser on my phone well someone elses phone, but something went wrong so I am throwing in the towel before I have to by someone a phone because this is how I got myself into this I tried to help someone get more business turns out the guy is a loser so I am stuck with having to give someone some free technical features, but rooting wont be one of them, I am going to figure some other ways to spice the phone of for them I just really don't have the time nor the patience with all the reading and materials and the drivers that won't run on my system some of this is a headache for people who are not that good with this sort of machinery.
And I have found that there are so many who say there good but when it comes down to it, I have had two bad experiences this is why I was trying to show some people some new ways to have there phones done, but I realize a few things I am not helping people out no more fu*k'em I got my phone done and complete and I am tired of helping others out and just about everyone who I went to meet up with in Philadelphia and this other guy who answers and gets back to you when he's ready this phone thing is a little much, like you guys say if you don't have the experience then leave it alone.
Because I have to return this phone to someone tomorrow but I thought I was bringing in some business for people but I know now some people just want to stay living at home with mother. So good luck watching Jerry all your life. Anyone
who has someone who can refer me to a real flasher or tech person no more people in the state of Pennsylvania all of them have been crooks. Sorry S. Bonner but you are hitting the #2 on the list. But anyway I need to get in touch with someone who will get paid as long as the job is done 100% and I am talking remote flashing nothing more and rooting. Remember if you live in the State of Pennsylvania don't bother me I want people who want to work.

[Completed] [Q] Rooting

I hate to waste ur time over something that there is so much info on already. my issue is the low space msg. I have spent the past week reading and re-reading all the threads. The links for clockwork and unrevoked r dead ends. i have googled those files and i cant seem to find what i need. Im ready to pull all my hair out, and when im done doing that i think i may find a stick and poke myself in the eye, its gotta be less painful than trying to root this phone. I have put about 50 hours into this project and i am no closer to rooting my phone today than i was when i started. I love this phone, as a matter a fact i just bought it off ebay and changed from my iphone 4s to the incredible. i bought a 64g sd card thinking that would solve the space problem, and well as you know it didnt. Is there anything else u can tell me that might solve this issue? or help me with the files i need. anything??? Not being able to root this phone and complete this project i started is making me CRAZY!!!!!!!!! Thank you for your time, and i completely understand if u call me an idiot and demand i step away from the phone!! !Hahahahahahaha
Hi there,
Can you please tell me what kind of smartphone do you have, and exactly what you want to do?
Thank you
Thread closed, thank you.

Theres tons more to it then this. This is just basic. If u have any questions about any of this info ask please. This is a mess
submit error report to samsung members app > get help > error report . then title it something like "I've been hacked" or "suspected hacking"
there is a separate team that handles hacking issues at samsung. Hope you get your $ back (this part you'll have to talk to your bank and ask for help for suspected theft/hack/fraud)
Yeah, I tried that on advice from a co worker. Samsung said I was pretty much screwed on return cause it was a At&t problem. So At&t trouble shot, but did no good. Is there no way to just find out what happened an when? I appreciate you commenting. Please anymore advice will be greatly appreciated.

did you call samsung or did you report error as I suggested? calling them only gets you to Customer Service agent that works off of scripts.
Reporting error gets it to the engineers who look through the logs and analyze device events.
If it is hacking then as noted before, the team that deals with hacking will help you out... otherwise samsung engineers should be able to identify what the potential cause of this is.
Similar with AT&T, unless the engineers have the device with them or is able to look into the software to analyze the events recorded... there's not a whole lot they can do.
If you've already submitted an issue ticket and that's the reply that you got back... then I don't know what else to tell you
Go to the police? You seem to have some answers already if you suspect sim cloning...

yea... that could be one option I suppose. As long as you don't mind making the 'friend' relationship awkward a.f. by bringing in the police. If they aren't that close in the frist place and you can manage to break ties with them, then sure... I'd go for it as well.

unlock as in root the phone or unlock as in release the phone from being locked to Tmobile? if the latter, then you just need to pay off the phone or wait a few months (depends on the TMobile rules on unlocking the phone) and ask for the phone to be unlocked.
