You're a genius! BTW, FunkyHuawei is going to a subscription form of payment. In some repects I don't really fault FH if they are really working hard and providing a lot of support. But the price is awfully high and once you start using the service you become dependent on it, especially when Huawei releases an update. You can really start spending a lot of money if you want to stay up to date. But the main culprit is Huawei because by not allowing release of bootloader unlock code they have entirely stifled development on some great hardware.

I'm surprised XDA supports these greedy guys. Usually how XDA worked is when someone finds a leak in a device. They would publish it so that the development of roms etc gets stimulated, however these greedy cartels choose to mongoose the whole thing for absurd prices..
Seriously, no one should support these practices.

Funkygreedwei is part of xda???

I don't get all the people tearing these guys for charging for their services. They put in the work that you have not to provide you a service that you want. If it's worth the money pay for it, if not, don't. You don't know what went into getting that product, so you don't know what it's worth.
I also don't get the incredible generosity of the talented developers on this site. They put an incredible amount of work in to generate value for other people, and it makes me wonder what's in it for them.
The thing is, xda developers has always been about the later, the devs working out of passion on projects that excite them for devices they love, who openly share their information so that even the most tech-illiterate person could adapt their phone to their needs. I don't hate the devs trying to make a buck, but I hope that xda developers will be preserved for what it's supposed to be. It's helped me alot through the years.

It is on sale now through ATT...

The site is trying to charge me $200, I hope it is a glitch. Apparently non commitment pricing is only $399

Ohhhhhh, what is this Xora and how much will it cost me I wonder?
I can't quite figure it out but I think it is $16.99 a month
This is the breakdown of what Xora is, I wouldnt touch it with a 10 foot pole, hahaha.
http://news.softpedia.com/news/AT-T-Intros-Xora-GPS-Locator-Phone-Tracking-Solution-116128.shtml
Why anyone would want to buy that when HTC SENSE does it for free when you buy the phone is beyond me.
Source: http://www.slashgear.com/htc-sense-online-portal-open-for-desire-hddesire-z-users-07106331/
Quoted directly from HTC press release:
"Ever had a moment when you couldn’t locate your phone, or even left a mobile phone somewhere? HTCSense.com gives users peace of mind should this ever occur. You can easily locate a missing phone by triggering the handset to ring loudly, even if it is set to silent, or to flag its location on a map. If the phone’s been lost or stolen, users can remotely lock the phone, forward calls and texts to another phone, send a message to the phone to arrange its return or even remotely wipe all personal data from it."
This Xora scheme and not offering Unlimited Data is whats killing the company, when will they wake up and realize this?
Iphone isnt the end of the world but its the other 'In' device other than Android phones of course so why not bring back at least unlimited data to prevent people from jumping ship to another carrier?
Its funny, a few days ago I threatened to cancel and they said they couldn't give it to me because I never had it in the first place and to contact corporate.
Why iPhone users are granted exclusivity to that feature is phonecist as well, hahaha. Yeah I know I made up a word.
Anybody figure out how to order off premier and NOT get the Xora crap ?
its $99.99 new or upgrade plan without xora... if it wont let you do it online just go in to the store.
I just got mine for 69.99 at the att store locally. They will price match the website, dont let them say they wont. Also no zora either. 75$ and sum change out the door.
You can also call ATT Premier Services and speak with them directly.
Got my Inspire for 49.99 because I *****ed about " not beign able to order online " due to some glitch with there website.
Been a customer with ATT / Cingular for 8 years now. They may seem like they don't care but trust me, if the first person you talk to gives you ****, just request to speak with a manager and have them pull some strings.
49.99 with no activation fee.. great deal
What glitch were you getting exactly? I'm thinking of calling later and trying to get a deal.

Out with the old, in with the new...

New toy came in, time to say goodbye to the captivate. For my first android phone it served me well, the unbrickable part of it sure came in handy.
As for the sgs2, it just stupid fast, no overclocked/lagfixed cappy rom comes close to its speed. Lag just doesn't exist on this phone, job well done samsung.
Time to move on over to the sgs2 section, sure gonna miss cm7 and all the other rom dev's, without them i would of hurled this phone into the wall a long time ago

$749?! That's a difficult justification...even for this device
NVIDIA is going to release a quad core tegra 3 phone in November. I am holding out for that

Looks like my move to the sgs2 was short lived, the size of it annoyed me, so im selling it.
Some days I just want to wait what kind of phone the Death Star will drop on us, but on the others I feel like it's worth the extra hundreds of dollars to avoid the headache of AT&T messing with the phone first.

Wow, I thought you were joking until I googled it. ****, at this rate we might as well be in a perpetual state of hold-out-ed-ness lest we buy an outdated quad-core phone right as the hex-core devices start shipping in.

I just saw [email protected] commercial saying [email protected] and tmobile will be working together to provide you with better coverage no matter where you are. Sounds like there bought,i called tmobile twice and they told me tmobile has been bought. So why when i asked people around here they say its not true. I don't wanna believe it but i guess its true.

Google search is your friend.
http://articles.boston.com/2011-06-29/business/29718145_1_at-t-deal-at-t-chief-executive-public-hearings
The deal has not been approved by the FCC, so at this point ATT has not purchased T-Mobile.
The ad you describe is likely just an attempt by ATT to influence public opinion in their favor.
Thx i googled but got every answer you could think of , i got a feeling from the last few quarters i read about T-Mobile struggling to stay a float i didn't know it was that bad.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure T-Mobile has been in the red for years, not just for a few quarters. Their parent company would just bail them out though because they are a huge multinational but I guess they're tiring of it. T Mobile USA is like that under achieving little brother who always gets himself into trouble.
According to that article I linked if they do merge ATT would hold 80% of the US market. Hard to predict how the FCC will decide, but that clearly would severely impact competition. In any case it looks like a decision is a year away.
Samnada if it's approved were all gonna be ****ed higher prices and innovation of new devices will suffer.I guess if it happens 80% of people gonna have the freakin iphone in Chicago damn near everyone i see got one.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
I don't believe T-Mobile has been in the red, not for a long time if at all. I was under the impression they've been, and continue to be, profitable - just not as profitable as DT would like. Going back through the years we see profits of $130 - $500+ million per quarter.

Honestly I hope the merger is not approved so T-Mobile will receive the cash, spectrum and roaming agreements that AT&T has committed to providing in case of a breakup. I have nothing against AT&T other than their arrogance, overly-congested network, unscrupulous advertising tactics and arguably the worst customer service known to man.
If ATT ends up with 80% we'll be

Update a booby trap?

What if the lg gb update was meant to spite all the g2x whiners and complainers, by permanently being installed on the units with no hope of installing the official t mobile one when it releases, there by making the phone owners who were impatient and installed the lg one marked for warranty termination.
Just sayin...

except that they replaced mine free of charge/free shipping when mine got bricked.
Seriously? This crap again? Do people not have any clue what they are asking before they ask it? If you had done one bit of research you would know that you are not "STUCK" on this update at all. Many many people have already installed it and moved on to other roms since.

cracked Screen/samsung premium care

Cracked screen almost not usable. I went with the fee premium care. its been approved but i called to see why it hasnt shipped and was told they are trying to get the device, if they dont have refurbished they will try and buy one...So, they have no idea when i will get an device. I was also told that its on back order.. My question is could it be a week or two weeks before i get a device....

I have spent 3 days trying to get them to fix their system and allow me to get premium care. I am probably going to stop trying and just pay if I break it.

I respectfully have to disagree with you. I've experienced Apple's customer service firsthand and it's been nothing but great for me. The fact that I can just walk into an Apple store greatly helped but that doesn't change the fact that after a wait, they always resolved any issues I had. (Even some caused by me.) The worst part is that wait though.

Apple has got to be the best customer service that I have ever dealt with. Even getting them to repair a phone was like getting a brand new item in the box. Really quick calls as well.
Samsung on the other hand is a complete disaster. Be prepared to be on the phone a good 2 hours anytime you have to give them a call. Also, their repair service is unbelievably terrible as well. I had to send a Note 4 in like 5 times because the screen was separated completely from the frame after they replaced it. It blew my mind how they couldn't get the screen to stay on the frame being that they made the device. They even acted like it was my fault even though I sent pics the same day I would receive the "fixed" phone.
Didn't take to long. Didn't get original color silver but grey it's not really grey to me though. Looks nice. I had to email Samsung they said they would look into it.
