Do you thing is fear ! tell me whats in you're head

wow some of the trolls got together a paid for a lawyer, if they were so pissed off why use an upgrade and contractually pay an extra ten dollars for use of phone, and go somewhere else
thats whats wrong with society "hey i'll agree to that" "oh wait I dont wanna anymore your evil"

Don't sue for the $10 fee, sue for the ****ty 4g coverage lol.
On Sprint's and Clearwire's website it says I should have full coverage, on Clearwire's it says I should have in-building 4g, yet lately I barely get service 3g or 4g, I'm getting 1x a lot more now.

The document is well written and it does highlight some points, such as, "What is Premium Data?" and the lack of definition by Sprint on such Premium Data.
I haven't looked at all of the references, but it looks like they might have something going on here.

I have also been getting a lot of 1x lately, here in Vegas. Even the new.Mikfroyo 4.6 is showing me 1x. I didn't think sense roms showed anything other than 3g, but Aamikam must've modded it, and I missed the note. Its irritating the crap out of me.

[Q] 4G question

So I had to call T Mobile to get the unlock code for another one of my phones (giving my slide to the gf) and at the end of the conversation the lady told me they were doing this promo and I would get free 4G for one month.
Now I already have the Android data package - shouldn't I already be getting 4G on my G2 and not have to pay even more to *upgrade* to 4G? Or are they throttling my speeds, which I've never heard of and it would be very upsetting if they were.
My sister got 4g for 5 bucks. But when I was ordering my g2 it said the data plan was like 20 bucks. I don't know why that is
-Mylenthes with his awesome G2

They are trying to sell you a USB Dongle for 4G for your laptop. They want you to "add a line" of service for it.
Ok, well that makes sense. There's no reason for me to get that service so it's pointless anyway, got wifi tether
Yah it would be and 4g isn't teqniqly real.......js

I don't know who you heard "4G isn't real" from but I think this image proves different.

T-Mobile Statement After failed Merger

http://www.tmonews.com/2011/12/t-mo...nt-regarding-end-of-att-talks-and-the-future/
I hope T-Mobile uses the money they got from ATT and pumps it into improving their services to us.
Hope they will finally take out the throttling....this is killing me. 10 more days of dial-up speed for me

Dish Network always had great customer service when I had them so no complaints from me.
Dish is a nightmare everytime ive called them some dude in the philipines comes out. Tmobile would be best on there own like they allways have untuched by greedy hands.

Rather funny, since it's also been rumored that AT&T is looking to buy Dish Network...

I thought you said that stop throttling was working for you in beastmod. Perhaps that was on an earlier build? I'm back on 4.0 because that's where people reported it was working... And I'm also at 4.9 gb usage so if it doesn't work ill soon know.
Tmo should just chill.. Why so desperate to sell??
Deutch Telekom gets the severance money not T-Mobile directly so T-Mobile may not see a penny of it.
I heard Sprint is the next bidder! Yikes!

voice roam?

hey guys after years with sprint im giving up my evo3d with unlimited that, which unlimited doesnt matter since i can never use it,lol. anyway, i travel alot for work and cant find any voice roam with this phone, so does it roam off att? thanks
yes sir it does.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
I, like you, came from Sprint and had the same question. T-mobile doesn't have voice roaming agreements like Sprint does with Verizon. Att can only be used in designated roaming areas. This leaves huge holes with zero coverage, even though att has service there.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
That sucks to find out, i travel working. Is the roam function automatic or does it need to be enabled? I cant find any setting for it other then roam data.
There are other carriers T-Mobile has roaming agreements with, US Cellular among others. I've almost always had service wherever I go (besides mid-state Wyoming). Recently, I've even started getting EDGE/3G on otherwise desolate drives in areas where before I had voice service if I was lucky.
Are you prepaid or postpaid?
I want to know too

US Cellular? They are CDMA. I'm post paid. Check Cross Junction, Virginia on the TMob map. It has perfect ATT service, but I can't make a voice call anywhere on US 522 from Winchester to Berkeley Springs. I'm sure others have examples too...

I recently made a trip from WA to IL and there was zero tmo coverage for the most part. There was att though! Roaming of course... But it was edge most of the way.

Free Sprint Airave

Lastweek when I got my Siii - I called Sprint customer service line and just ask if they would send me an Airave. I did not threaten to cancel or anything as described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1189192.
The rep checked availability and shipped
In checking the the tracking number looks like it's sitting on my porch.
The rep said no charge, no changes to my service plan, no lease or anything. If I cancel my service I must send the device back. But while a customer I can use it free of charge.
:good:
I didn't even call they are giving them away like hotcakes now. I just used the sprint chat on their website.

Don't think Verizon needs to. They have awesome coverage (well in my area) unlike ****ty sprint. Can't even get 3g outside of my house I have to use the stupid air rave. Sorry for my language just blowing off some steam I have with sprint lol.

Lol. At home I have to rely on my Airave. It's that bad. Verizon and ATT phones work flawlessly.
I'm thinking of switching to Verizon or at&t. I've grown tired of this terrible coverage I have in my area.

I have 2 Airrave's on my account. 1 was free from Sprint. The other I bought off Ebay for like $60. Both are life savers. Wish Sprint would get it together already...
The number listed in the OP you reference is no longer in service. LOL!
New number is 1 866-866-7509
Bugging up my phone, so you don't have to!

Sprint LTE alive in San Francisco, CA

http://phandroid.com/2012/08/06/spr...-francisco-bay-area-ahead-of-official-launch/
I forgot to post here that I've seen some 4g in Santa Clara as well....
Speed test I pulled off of Lawrence Expwy in Santa Clara
.....based on that speed test, Sprint's LTE will be just as useless as their CDMA and WIMAX. That's abysmal for LTE, let alone launch day before anyone is even using it yet...
Must have been testing. Not real performance test. Check my signature for a better idea of speeds. I consistently hit mid 20's.

Backbone probably hasn't been upgraded yet.

I used to pull 12mbps on wimax. Don't understand y everybody hated it???
I wonder if they are dploying in cupertino first to show apple that thheir lte netwrok isnt a myth. Also for testing the next iphones lte. Because according to s4gru, los gatos and cupertino are part of the san jose market, not san francisco's market.
