Who's using the Xperia on ATT now?

I know some people have received these in US now. Anyone using one on a MEdia-Net Unlimited plan ($15/month)?

At this point I doubt anyone in the US has the X1i...
Shipments started earlier this week... So, probably next week someone can confirm how the X1i works on AT&T...

We've got one person over here that is expecting his X1i in the mail tomorrow. Should expect test results soon after.

im expecting mine tomorrow as well and I have ATT.

I'd love to hear some comments when you've had a chance to play around with it. Especially this whole 3G debate. 3G isn't a deal breaker for me because I'm use to Edge speeds.
Where did you order it from? I've been thinking about placing an order through Clove.

Keep in mind that 3G coverage on AT&T with the X1i will be limited to only 1900mhz, so the results are going to be very different from one person to another. I anticipate a number of people will be able to receive a 3G signal but may get dropped signals from time to time, while other people might not get any signal at all.
As for Clove, I've ordered from them before. If it's your first order, they will have you call up your credit card issuer to confirm the 6-digit charge authorization (a bit of a hassle, but only you and the retailer can know the number which ensures security for exporting the phone). But after that, shipment with DHL is fast and made it all the way to the west coast in 2 days.

My package is out for delivery as I write this. I got mine off of ebay from a dealer who is well connected in the UK. Although I did pay more than what expansys is charging and way more than clove. I have no doubts that this guy is legit he has 900+ positive feedback. Also the area in new york that I live in is serviced by the 1900mhz band.

I bought Coreplayer and IM+ for the Touch Pro so I'll try IM+ for sure, was using the new aim builds but the keep signing off constantly and its slow as hell.
I'm pretty sure I'll get good signals for the AT&T 3G considering my location so hopefully I can finally get 3G that my touch pro couldnt :-\

I always wondered, what is the benefit of instant messenger over text message ?? Is it just the ability to have a conversation ? Most new phones save conversations in the body of a text message now, right ?

Paying $0.00 per message if you have an unlimited data plan, versus paying $0.15 per message for sms if you don't have a text plan.
Also, AIM is presence-aware, ie: your friends can see that you're online/idle/away. With sms, they send you a message but they have no idea if your phone is on and when you might reply.
But it swings the other way, too: there aren't too many people who have data plans to use instant messenger, so your friends might just need to be at their computer to chat. SMS is always there without the need for a data connection.

i like to second this and also add that if you use a messanger rather then sending sms you can save a lot when it comes to texting plans
what i've done is added most of the people i would conversate with a lot and added them to my messanger so when i get a text i replay back via my messanger and save myself some text messages
if your using aim you can add the number you want to message with a +15555555 then you'll be able to chat back and forth with no problems

T-Mob or O2? PAC question

Hope you dont mind me asking here,wasnt sure where else to ask.
Currently have an iphone 3gs.Contract ends mid January.
Have no particular allegiance to O2. before the iPhone I was with T-Mob and had been since the Mercury days.
Does one have an advantage over the other?T-Mob looks pretty good at the £31.50 18mth contract (700 min, unltd txt and unltd Internet), phone costs £97.87.
As for O2, I have no idea what tariffs they are doing for the HD2.
I understand that unlimited internet is actually not unlimited on either network...does one have a more generous allowance than the other?I have heard 3GB mentioned in relation to T-Mob.Does that sound right?
If I do decide to go to T-Mob, how does the PAC work?Do I have to give them the code straight away?Could I use the phone number supplied, then in January give them the code andget number changed over?

As far as Im aware T-mobile block certain ports in their internet to stop you viewing live tv or using myplayer over 3g for example

Thanks !!!!!

Yep, you can use their number temporarily and supply a PAC code for your old number when you receive it. From what I recall you have a month to use your PAC code once it's issued, but you can delay your request for as long as you need.

3GB FUP T-Mobile (UK)

I heard if you buy an Android phone through a third party reseller you only get 1GB throttled internet instead of 3GB. But I read you can make a call to convince them to change it.
Anyone ever done this and got any tips?
From what I heard they put you on the unlimited internet booster, which is only 1GB, and not web and walk plus (3GB) if you order through a reseller.
Well, I ordered it from E2 save.
I can't link or post images yet: i.imgur.com/Ku7aX.png
Notice they give you the option to add "Unlimited Web Booster" for £5 a month? Could I use that to convince them?
Thanks.
edit: It also says unlimited on their site: e2save.com/mobile-phone/contract/samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S.html?tariffcode=D25TEAPR09
edit2: T-Mobiles FUP:
You'll get internet on your phone Plus included if you join us on a pay monthly plan with an Android phone in a T-Mobile store, over the phone or via our website, t-mobile.co.uk.

Can you order over the phone on e2save?
eidt3: I actually did join them over the phone, as the phone is why I joined them. See what I mean?

Anyone know?

I heard saying people on the forums managed to get upgraded for free works. Guess it makes the employee think his friends are letting them have it so he should too.

When I signed up for Sim only £15 month plan they put me on web + walk plus automatically, even though phone was from another seller. Didn't believe it at first, but sure enough it showed up there on my bill. Tbh, I think the girl I spoke to got confused - I've not queried it since!

I got mine upgraded, but then again I was already a customer before they changed the wording on the fup back in July 2010.
However, they didn't want to upgrade me at first, and the best tactic I found may well work for you too:
Basically, you have to complain bitterly that the internet access is extremely slow and laggy, and that you have tested it and it seems that even tho your phone shows you have a hsdpa connection, you are only getting 3G speeds (~350kpbs) at best and it seems you are being throttled.
Then tell them that you have read all their t&c's and there is no mention AT ALL that the 1GB FUP is throttled, so therefore they need to rectify this situation, as the hsdpa device you got with your contract is being crippled without good reason - tell them that you accept that there is a 1GB FUP, but you feel you should be allowed to download that 1GB as quickly as your device is capable of.
Keep pushing and escalate to their line manager if necessary. Worked for me and at least one other person.

Thanks I'll try that.

I'm on unlimited internet booster, but get HSDPA speeds - 1900kbps down, 530kbps up...
For my first month (Jul-Aug) I was on web'n'walk because of a ****-up, then back to normal 'internet booster'. Noticed no difference in quality of service.
And I only just about scrape the 1GB limit. But then I've got wi-fi at home. Mind you, now I've got 2.2 on my phone and Flash 10.1, who knows
I bought from a reseller as well.

Oh yeah when you people managed to upgrade to 3GB, did you get to choose another booster as well?

How do you test your speed?

[email protected]
Send email explaining that you have slow hsdpa speeds and you have read on terms and conditions that every android should have 3gb fup.
Give them your phone number to contact you (say that you would like to speak with them) in 24hrs they should call you back with everything on as it should be.
In response to post above. No I didn't get the booster but I'll probably ask for it in few weeks.
Pointing that I've read on internet that people when ordering this offer could have a booster as well with 3gb fup

Worth trying. I did it 2 months a go. Depending on when you activated your phone and when this rule went live if you hurry up you might actually speak with someone that does not know about it. Or you just bought the phone before this was announced...
Do it quick and let me know

So I am a bit down then

On tmobile you will get max 2mbit up and 600kbit down (confirmed with tmobile tech support).
I think o2 has got the fastest one and that is 7 mbit.
However, I also use giffgaff, its pay and go, or something like simplicity on o2 where you have to top up every month and quit any time.
The give you 4 mbit down and 2 mbit up and really unlimited broadband with no fup.
All that is because there isn't any customer service and everything you bed sorting out you do on forums....

Got my phone now. On speed test i got around 300Kb/s.
Noob question - how do I see how much data I'm allowed? lol
edit:19Kb/s up but I was running in the background.

Thanks everyone it worked. Got my texts too.

As i work for T-Mobile i should not say this but if you go into your local store and tell them you are getting a message saying you are at 80% of your download limit and you should be getting 3GB so why do you get this message? they should look at your account and see no wnw+ soc and just add it as they cant see where you got it.

[Q] Does this phone work with FIDO (Canada)

Hello,
I didnt know where to put this question but i am considering buying this phone. Does anyone know if it will work with FIDO (Canada)?
Thanks.

It works on Rogers so it should work on Fido as well

Yes, I am using it on fido and it is working perfectly!!
3 things:
1- download the sms time fix (the sms received will be -4hours unless you download this from the marketplace because how rogers/fido does thier time stamping)
2- take name display out as some reported that it doesn't play nice with atrix when you receive a call from a landline. (I never have that problem because noone calls me from landline)
3 - I am on the AT&T atrix and it will warn me when i reboot the phone that I am on roaming network, once you click the notification, your phone does not complain

I am on Rogers with the ATT Atrix. I just had to load the APN settings and now I'm good, data and calls are perfect.
HungryEel, I did not test sms, but I will look into your fix.

It WILL work with fido I brought the ATT from US and unlock it. Now I am using it in Canada with Fido. Really great run H+

I'm on Rogers and didn't need any SMS fix. I did call in to ask for "name display" to be "excluded" from my account though - this fixed the Pay Phone listing from coming up on incoming calls though.

+1 worked fine on Fido... unfortunately when you unlock this phone it voids the bell warranty so i have to go through the Motorola service centre in Richmond...
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

Hey Guys, since this is a topic about using in canada on rogers/fido network, I have two questions.
where did ya'll get the phone unlock from? and if someone can tell me how much it would cost?
and does anyone know if the 6GB dataplan from rogers/fido still possible to get?
i know for sure that Android eats up the data very quickly, i have opted for 1 gb data from rogers and I am always either almost finished with or over the data. i like the Atrix, am definitely picking up the phone by this saturday. Don't want to carry around 2 phones, if the 6gb plan is not available, thinking of leaving rogers as it is too expensive.
any suggestions? help much appreciated.

I used Cellunlock.com there are some coupons floating around for 50% off.
For your Rogers plan, you really should read this thread. I had a crappy plan and after reading that thread and doing my homeworks, I called retention 3 times and ended up with a ridiculously nice plan. From what I know, the 6Gb plan is dead and the only way to get one is to have a grandfathered corporate plan.
How are you using so mutch data ? you should try using wifi ... (or opera mini)
Oh and don't forget to call retention, maybe they can do something for you.

Thanks a lot for the info. I will try CellUnlock.com.
I will call Rogers Retention people and see what happens. I have tried that trick in past and have got response such as "Oh you want to cancel your plan, sure, pay the money to us and F... O..." basically. Hence I am a little hesitant. But hey, there is no reason why I shouldn't try calling them again.
Why do I use it so much? Cuz my job requires me to... I travel through GTA a lot, and because I have a smartphone, I use it for pretty much everything from checking my emails to making phone calls to use it as a GPS.

read the thread, if you are into a contract, there is a new rules: they can only charge you what you own them on your subsidised phone.
use a line like "I really like your service, but since it's SOOO mutch cheaper elsewere, there is no reason for me to stay..."

To add to this, remind the CSR that you want to be compelled to stay but in such a competitive market place you need to look at all avenues (the mitigating factor being what you pay, you want a better plan for what you pay!).
Do make sure to up sell the benefits of staying with your current provider and they'll happily recline, making small talk and keeping the discussion constructive and positive. They'll "review" things and find either a feature they can add, a discount that can be applied, etc. Just remain optimistic and act as though you're so torn between sticking with them or going with a risky new provider.
This usually seems to yield good results with me. I've worked in Retention departments and can sniff a promo hopper from a mile away. But if you're a nice promo hopper, whatever, I'll give you a good deal. Just be polite and a good sport. They'll try hooking you up where they can. Usually..
(if not, tell them thanks and that you'll call back after some review)

Thank you so much for the input guys... Real Helpful tips... I will try all the options mentioned above and will get back with some results...

Awesome, man. Let us know how it goes.

Well guys, the tips above didn't help in the first try. I called them, got transferred to retention, answer was same old ****ed up response... Oh, we are sorry to see you leaving, let me just remind you that you will have to pay Rogers to end your contract, when do you want to end the contract?
I will try calling them again next week and see if my luck works out this time...

StraightTalk for the Network unlocked Bravo user

Hey all. I just found (but has probably been out for awhile) a new thing that StraightTalk and the sister companies are doing. They are now offering GSM based SIM Cards for any AT&T and T-Mobile (and some sprint i believe) networked unlocked phones. Link at bottom for StraightTalk Sim card. They have both the full size card and the micro sim too. (For the iPhone 4s guys) I ordered a sim card last week and will hopefully get it on Thursday (7/12/12). I'll post later how it is and all. If anyone else has or had or will do this too post away how it worked out for you. StraightTalk and Net10 are both offering the SIM card for only $14.99 right now and charge you for shipping SOMETIMES. I was able to get just in under the limit that they were offering Free shipping on all orders $14.99 and over. Good for people that want a new Cheap phone service but want to keep their GSM based phone or cannot afford a new phone.
Net10
StraightTalk

Excelent, awsome offert. But I will not enjoy it because I dont use Tmo or At&t.

@josuearisty: The SIM Cards can be used in any unlocked AT&T or TMO phone, ex. our Bravos. That's what I was talking about.
The SIM cards really work in about any unlocked GSM phone that works on 800mhz and 1900mhz bands.

Working......
Well my Sim chip came in yesterday, put it in my phone, went online and switched my equipment on www.straighttalksim.com. Well all was well yesterday after about 5min of easy work. Old phone turned off new one on. Ok. No data, no text's? huh? Oh ya! Switch the APN settings. Got the little red card that came with the chip and had the settings I needed. Cool I thought to myself. Punch in the settings, reboot, enjoy! Works! Cool. Make a test call, hmm. There's a ring, yea. Connects, yea. Can you hear me? Good. Everything works. Awesome. So I use it all day yesterday and what happens? You guessed it, battery dies. Ok fine, charge it. Charged overnight. Wake up. Checked my emails, didn't notice I was connected to my home wifi, was out side, sent off a text, it sent, I thought, waited, hmm, must still be asleep. Oh well. Took my son to school. Cool. Check my phone at school, no messages. Strange, I usually have something by now, it's been an hour. Make a call, "Were sorry but you have reached your service end date. To contune please add another airtime card or......" WTF!! WHAT HAPPENED TO MY 20 MORE DAYS LEFT! I JUST BOUGHT A DAMN CARD! Drive home PISSED. Called StraightTalk off the wifes phone. "Please hold for the next available customer service rep." ok shouldnt be that long "your expected wait time is TEN MINUTES", pause for information to sink in. WHAT!? Whatever. Then they answered. "How can we help you today Mister Jones?" You cut off my service, "Oh i'm sorry about that, let me transfer you to someone who can help you, may I do that now?" yes "Ok thank you and thank you for being......... yada yada" ok so next guy comes on "Hello how may I help you?" You cut my phone service off "Oh i'm sorry for that let's take a look at your account." So he does and then asks when did I start and when did I last buy a card and such and then he says please hold so I can look at the account. Well his hold I guess is just not talking, not the button. Well after about 6 min of just hearing him breathing he says "Ok mister Jones i've replaced 11 days of service for you, will there be anything else I can do for you today?" Umm you did what? "I've put the remaining days back onto your account that we're supposed to have transferred but didn't" Oh ok thank you that will be all for today. " I thank you Mister Jones for being a part..." CLICK! I really don't like talking to customer service people that much. So,, I've been having a fairly good experience except for the time I had no service.
Rating is interesting for this one. 7 out of ten for service (or having service), I guess 5 out of ten for the customer service people, and everything else is fine so far.

Your sig shows you running CM7? Mine or Quarx's? Need to know if I need to update the apns since Strait Talk is supposed to be there by default now.

No I use an old quarx one. If you need to know any apn let me know and I can find it for you. Most of the time I've seen that the apn settings are somewhere on the sim card and the phone saves them.

I don't. Straight Talk's Apn comes with CM9 by default and I can get it from there. Just checked my APNs with my CM7 and I need to add that one in....Is they're unlimited data "AT&T\Verizon 2Gb Unlimited" or "Sprint Unlimited"? I'm thinking of going to Straight Talk and dropping off my parent's AT&T Family Plan.
//I still think AT&T & Verizon should be taken to court for offering unlimited data in big letters on the ads while its really only 2gb of data -- hardly unlimited, small, unreadable, quick changing terms you can barley read at the bottom of a 48" 1080p screen shouldn't count; I wouldn't complain if the cap was at 50gb+, but you can barley watch a few youtube videos with 2gb. I can easily burn 1+ gigs a day just with rom development (repo syncing, up\downloading roms, mods, syncing\installing apps after a flash); factor in streaming music, social integration apps, YouTube, email, web browsing, navigation, push ads....I can go on, but ya'll get the point of the rant.

I don't have the capped data I have the unlimited one. I don't know if they do like T-Mobile and roll your speed back after a few gigs or not. Alot of mixed information is online so until I use it I don't really know.
Short version. I have unlimited data.

I have a friend who has it, and from what I understood from him, its unlimited until you run out of minutes. Not sure if they throttle it or not, but I can deal with throttled internet....its being charged $20 for every 2GB that bothers me more than anything. He's only had it for less than a month as well and isn't a geek or tech savvy.
Makes me wonder if there's some way to use a VOIP service for calls with Straight Talk so you'd never go over the minutes and lose internet...

I haven't looked around all that much but there are several voip options in the google store. I don't remember but I think you can use skype to call other skype users voip. I just pay the $45 a month and have unlimited everything for 30 days. I don't care about min or texts or data usage. I am watching how much data I'm using to see if they throttle me or cut me off. In the terms of service they do say to not tether or data but I am anyway. Netflix and youtube are also taboo to them as well but what do we care? I'? tethering to my laptop to watch netflix and youtube with open garden. I'm using the non-root open garden just to try it out and even though there is a very lax set of settings it works as it should. Only downside to the non-root app it that you have to have bluetooth on the receiving computer or device. Mines built-in on my laptop but not my wifes. As well the app doesn't work on her HTC rhyme.

My buddy does it by the minutes, didn't know they had an unlimited service for $45 -- that's not bad at all -- which is why I thought the voip option was an idea to get around that, but I'd rather pay $45 for the unlimited anyways since its cheaper then AT&T's (un)limited plan.

Did straight talk cut you off for watching Netflix ? I called their customer service about netflix, and couldn't get a straight answer about whether or not they allowed it. (no pun intended)
