I like my Inc2 ten times better than my Fascinate. The GPS actually works in this device. I also get great battery life and there is no lag for me.
Here is a similar post from AC http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-droid-incredible-2/107364-any-dinc2-users-coming-fascinate-2.html#post1146594

The Dinc2 is extremely well endowed compare to the Fascinate, it has got both length and girth, you will be very satisfied with it I'm sure.
Seriously, we exchanged both our fascinates for the Dinc2 two weeks ago and love the new phone, wondered why we didn't do it sooner.

I had a fascinate, and would not go back. Build quiality seems better, GPS works, battery lasts longer, and in general, it's a lot less work to maintain, even if you're flash happy. No odin here obviously, but once it's rooted and setup, it's a breeze.

If you want a good phone go with the Inc 2. The smart play would be getting a Charge so your grandfathered in on 4G and wont have to pay more later on.

If you are on a unlimited data plan and have 3g you will be grandfathered in when you decide to upgrade to a 4g device.

Thats exactly what I said. Here real quick Verizon will be charging extra for 4G just like Sprint. Supposed to be an extra 10 to 15 a month.

I had this same convo with vz on Sunday except I have a problematic droid 2 global. The after going back and forth and "supervisor approval" they agreed to send me a dinc2 in place of my droid 2 global free. The only catch was I had to meet them half way and buy a battery door and battery for it. Money well spent if you ask me. They were cheap on amazon. It hasn't arrived yet but I've heard nothing but good stuff about the dinc2. Can't be worst then my d2g.

You may be grandfathered into unlimited data for 3G but that doesnt mean 4G. When they start charging the extra for it youll still be on unlimited but data will be 45 a month not 30. Thats what I mean.

well in that case ill lower my plan cause I really don't NEED unlimited. but I'm OK for now so I'm not worried. thanks for the heads up though!

Well from a common sense stand point lets look at other competitors. Sprint, 10 dollars a month extra for "Premium data". T-Mobile after a certain amount you lose your 4G speeds and drop down to almost 2G speeds. And not to mention my cousin is the head engineer for western Arizona and that came straight from him. 4G is expensive to offer and maintain.

Hers what I found about upgrading to 4g. http://www.droid-life.com/2011/06/2...g-to-4g-after-july-7-can-keep-unlimited-data/i couldn't find anything about raising 4g prices.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App

I actually asked tier 2 tech when I was on the phone. he said they aren't able to talk about it with customers because nothing has Bern discussed yet. but that as long as you're grandfathered into unlimited data he doesn't think they will charge us more for 4g. so technically not proof, but I'd tale.his word over rumors. which is exactly what he said that is, rumors.

Wanna have your shot at TRULY UNLIMITED UNTHROTTLED data on T-Mobile USA?

This trick has been around for a while. I have been using it since the G2x days and haven't abandoned it yet. It works on my GS2 and it has been working on my Galaxy Nexus as well. Create a new APN with the exact same settings as I post here. I am still working to find out what (if anything) needs to be changed on the MMS end but thought I'd go ahead and share this. Enjoy!
*Disclaimer* This will not work for everyone! You could possibly still get throttled. In my personal experience, it stops my data counter altogether. For other people, they just go beyond the throttle threshold. Find out where you stand. **HINT** I'd recommend only changing to this once you're nearing the end of your cycle and before you are throttled.

Has anyone given this a try yet? I'd like to know how you guys are fairing on speed tests? I have been seeing better speeds with this apn at my apartment which is kinda like a big bunker. Lol.

It works on my gs2

Lol, I don't want to broadcast faster speeds on the new apn but as far as my apartment goes - they are faster. (Then again, I don't really ever use my cellular data at home anyway.) I just like to put a much larger emphasis on avoiding being throttled!

This is bull****.
Last night I burned through my 5GBs. Now the internet feels slower than a 56K modem.
Today, I tried this "trick", same speeds....

You do it before being throttled. Not after. Don't call it bull**** because you didn't follow directions. It's funny how I and other people have plenty of success with this but you, the person who fails to follow directions, comes in here to act like it doesn't work. One of the most important things to do when doing most anything on xda is read and follow directions.

Well, some people fly under the radar. Some people get throttled eventually. Lastly, some people get throttled like normal. Trying it out isn't for the feint of heart because you never know which one you'll be until you try.
This is why I recommend trying it near the end of your cycle so you don't have much to lose. Sometimes sim swapping helps too.

It's great to hear it's helped you out thus far. Were you purposely trying to get that high at first? Lol. I know the whole trial and error thing sucks but sometimes it pays off. Depending on how far you're in, you might be completely clear and can go data crazy.

Well I was at about 4.9gb of 5gb at 2 weeks into my billing period (had lots of tethering). So I just switched the APN and started using data again rather than hunting for WiFi all the time. Still working just fine.

Coming from a GSII I can confirm that this no longer works (for most ). It worked wonderfully for a few months but once everyone jumped on board T-Mobile patched it. Head over to the tmo sgsii forums and search the thread for confirmation.

Free tether to ps3

Wondering if we can tether ps3 for free using the sprint evo 4g? Thanks guys.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

Yes you can tether to your ps3 for free as long as your rooted. But I wouldn't recommend unless you have full bars on 4g or the lag will be unbearable. Also don't do it to much cause it uses A LOT of data and might look suspicious

You probably can, if you have gingerbread and/or a phone capable of wireless tethering. Just try it out

they can tell your tethering if your barely using a any data then jump to about 10GB randomly. They can terminate your contract without warning(not that bad lol)

I tether my ps3 for black ops,mw3 and bf3 with only 2-3 bars and its fine. I would say as long as you're pulling down at least 1mb a sec you should be fine. You can play an hour or 2 and only use like 50mb give or take.

The problem with tethering a phone to a game system is the lag. Ping times on 3g and even 4g can average 200ms, even go up to 1000ms, which would make any game (especially fps games) unplayable. And since it's a wireless signal, the speed and ping times will vary every single second, unlike a cable/dsl modem, which means you could play fine for a minute and then get a weak signal and your connection to the game will probably drop

they do stand by their unlimited data, but going form a cpl gb a month to 10 or more would raise concerns... and yes it is unlimited, but remember wifi hotspot is an add on feature. so actually you are stealing service.

It doesnt matter what it costs them... they and all other providers charge for this feature. So do you think its not stealing to put a splitter on a neighbors cable line and run it to your house? try that and see what happens. Im just saying if you do it and you data goes up by a crazy amount dont be surprised if something happens.

That's what worries me about the unlimited tmobile plan. People using network data as their main internet connection. Tmobile data will probably slow down quite a bit even though they are saying they have the capacity. I doubt it.

It'll be about the same, probably a bit slower.

The last 3 months I have hit my 2GB cap with about 2-4 days left in the billing cycle. Luckily someone clued me in on calling customer retention and asking for the 5GB plan for the same price as the 2GB plan, which worked! So starting 3 days ago I have the 5GB plan for $20/month, which is plenty for me.

I use about 5GB or so. I have AT&T and use the medianet plan. $10 for unlimited data love loopholes

Don't bet your pants yet, wait a bill cycle and see what shows up, most likely you got a credit for so many months that brings it down to 20. Not that I don't believe you, but I don't believe you it was that simple , post proof!

I use about 2GB - 3GB out of 5GB plan.

In fact when I called I was told they no longer throttle which was not true. in about 2 days they restored the speed.

For those with truly unlimited data..

How much data do you use per cycle? I have the plan and I can easily reach maybe 50GB through tethering. Kinda worried though if tmobile might catch on.

I just got on the plan yesterday so we will see how it goes.. when they first came out with it for contract the first month i used like 86gigabytes
