Hey, I wanna share this for all TMOUS user. Quote this from another post
"Just wanted all to know, HTC has recently acknowledged an issue with the 16GB SD card that shipped with the US T-Mobile HD2. T-Mobile issued an internal bulletin to this effect and provided a US number (888.356.2375) to call to arrange to have the SD card replaced, from Level 2 to a Level 4 SD card. Alot of HD2's had the Level 2 card installed and this card was found to cause the phone to freeze. The Level # is indicated by a circle with a numeral in the middle of it. Usually on the upper right hand side of the SD card. When you call the number HTC provided they will want you to have the HD2 in front of you with IMEI and S/N ready. The unique thing is HTC has rescinded their policy to send the 'bad' SD card back so if they send you a replacement Level 4 card you will end up with 2 SD cards. (I'm sure that Level 2 card could be reused somewhere) This info is probably even more useful to owners that have installed Android Froyo 2.2 on their HD2 as I have. The ROM's are usually contained on the SD card itself and not flashed internally. HTC does indicate a backorder on the replacement SD cards (up to 2 weeks or so) Hope this helps some of you with the freezing condition."
Hope this will some how help the screen freeze problem. Yay for a class 4 card. I just call in and order my. Very easy and free. Cheer
Edit: oh yeah, and make sure you don't tell them that you reformatted the card. Make thing less complicated.
Update:
Just to clear out a little bit here. When I got the information, this is not an OFFICIAL recall or replacement service. It was really much just a tip from someone that has this done.
They were willing to replace the card for people because they acknowledged that the card do have problem. And they posted the information originally only for people who has problem with the card.
So if you happen to call in, please be aware that there is no such thing as replacement or recall service. You suppose to report a problem with your card. That worked for many people. They just asked for the IMEI or S/n and don't even care about if you are T-mobile customer or not.
Now, seem like there is a high volume of people calling in about the replacement service that they didn't aware. They must started to pick up on that and suspend this service or something until further announcement. If they refuse to give you one, it's because of this.
Update: I just got mine and a few people have confirm. It is a Samsung Class 2 sd card. Please keep the posting about what card you receive so everyone know. Thanks

I called earlier this morning from the same information listed in another post. From the time I called to the time I hung up was less than 5 minutes (including a satisfaction survey)...the hold time was less than 30 seconds.

Thanks for the heads up. I just gave them a called. They just asked some standard questions but they will be shipping the new 16gb in a week or two (backordered).
Thanks for the info, just ordered mine as well. Told me about 1-1.5 weeks to ship out.
Thanks for the tip just ordered mine
Although the guy thinks it will still be a class 2 when it comes in the mail which doesn't make sense so hopefully he is wrong.
sent from my hd2 aka tmobile evo eatin on some froyo
Class 2 Only?

I also inquired into the Class specification of the SD card and my rep. did a check with the warehouse to see if she was unaware of the change to send out Class 4's and came back saying that at this time there is no order for them to be sending out Class 4's so they will be sending me a Class 2 card. But no need to send mine in. So... still Win? I get to have 2 now so I guess.
dang it works. Just ordered mine too, and the lady was really nice and helpful. Was just asking for S/N and some basic info and address to ship the card to. She did say that the new card will be a Class 4 card, and will arrive in about 2 weeks.
Thanks a lot for the info man.
*The whole process took me only about 10 min, no wait time whatsoever. Kudos for HTC to still have a great performing call center.
Just called HTC, phone call took no longer than 5 minutes and the cards are back ordered

Did you order yours? I just told them my sd card is "on and off" randomly (which is a lie) but hey i got my free one
Yea I got a CSR whose first response was "I JUST talked to you!" and this was my first time calling hahaha I think they are getting a little frustrated...anyways he said that I will be getting a Class 2 instead of 4 so not sure exactly what will come in the mail but a free 16GB card is definitely not bad!

Yep exactly the same here, it would be nice if it was a class 4, but makes no difference to me I'm not running the stock card anyway but I won't turn down a free SD card..
Sent from my HTC Vision HD2
ya, only took a couple minutes. the acted kinda hesitant at first. he asked me where i was getting this information, and i read off that quote to him in the first post in the bold letters. so i pretty much told him i was reading it off of T-Mobile's website. he started to laugh and say something like "i was just curious where everyone was getting this information because i've gotten like 10 phone calls in the last 30 minutes about this, and we don't know anything about it."
i was scared that it wasn't going to work at first, but the only thing i gave him was my name, address, and IMIE #
he said it would be replaced with a class 4, didn't give me a time frame, but if it's free i'll be happy to wait.
crud i didnt think to check the type of card, I just assumed it was a class 4. Oh well, free card and it was super fast. She said it will ship in 3-5 business days. Woot!
Just wanted to report that at last, after months of crashing, 3 device swaps and trying 2 different cards in my DVP the issues with my phone seem to have gone by swapping to a Sandisk class 2 32GB card.
With the 7392 update I was able to create a backup point and with the confirmed class 2 Sandisk I swapped from the installed Transcend card and since then I have used wifi to download a 70MB game, synced wirelessly, browsed the web, used several applications with no signs of the crashes I would typically have had with my previous card. There have been a few slowdowns and 1 instance where tapping a tile would not open but apart from that it is light years away from my previous experience with the phone crashing all the time and I can now actually enjoy the phone.
All in all, it has been a frustrating, painful experience and all I can say is, if you are having problems and are willing to forgo the warranty try a card swap with a class 2 Sandisk card. You just might get a working phone out of it and actually get to enjoy WP7.
Edit: I take it all back, right now I'm looking at a dvp that wakes up to a black screen, earlier today I had a typical hard lock when trying to turn wifi off. Problems reduced but not gone completely.
Im doing it, and just as I posted in the other thread.... the phone locked up and specifically states to "REMOVE THE MEMORY CARD". Void warranty, my arse. Took pictures of the screen to cover my but and everything. It is on them now. Don't care... doing what the product tells me to do....

I'm an idiot! I ordered a 32GB SDHC card from Amazon. Got it yesterday. Yeah - not "micro." I was like "Ooo $47!" So yeah, re-ordered $60 micro...
If you want 16GB, check out this Class 2 from buy.com - buy.com/prod/sandisk-16gb-microsdhc-card/q/loc/101/209114572.html
Hopefully I'll be back in a week, talking about how great the 32GB card I got was. Unfortunately, I already ran the 7392 update, so I won't get a "backup" when I put that new card in. Lose a week's worth of text messages. Oh well, I tend to delete my girlfriend's conversation every few days because it gets super long and starts to act a little strange.

Hahahah...man, I did hte exact same thing. I now have a 32g SD card...sitting here...waiting for my tablet....when I get one!!!
I'll wait until the 18th (again) and if Dell doesn't say anything about a firmware update I'll go ahead and swap my SD card as well. I've had this phone since late December and have not been able to reliably use WiFi. This wouldn't be a huge deal if T-Mobile had 3G coverage all around Virginia Beach, but it doesn't and using the DVP on EDGE is a ****ty experience. EDGE at home, EDGE at work, and WiFi everywhere teasing me and my DVP. If T-Mobile had another WP7 device with a similar screen/size to the DVP I'd eBay this thing in an instant.
@efjay - If you find that over the next few days you continue to get crashes with your new SD card, could you update this thread?

Just did. Short version - phone still crashes.
Edit: It gets worse. Phone crashed about 10 minutes ago so had to power down by holding power button. Now the people hub and all my messaging accounts wont open, just kick me back to the start screen, even when trying to open their settings. Fantastic!!
Edit 2: here is the result of my latest crash, unable to access email or SMS. http://www.vimeo.com/23743865
I finally decided to do it (mainly cause I was getting freezes even without Wi-Fi too), and it works great. SanDisk 16GB MicroSD Class 2 works perfectly. I've done my best to overload the phone with downloads via Wi-Fi, and things went smoothly with nothing more than a 1 second hiccup.

That's pretty disappointing news. I guess Dell has us by the balls a little longer.
I got my card last night! The black sticker came off in that weird "designed to break" sort of way. It was tricky getting the 8GB card out, but pretty easy getting the 32GB in. The process was really simple...
1) Settings > About >Reset phone
2) As Dell logo appeared in boot sequence, remove battery
3) Swap cards (use colorful language as needed)
4) Boot and run through setup
amazon.com/gp/product/B003UGGAN2
"SanDisk 32GB MicroSD SDHC Class 2 with MicroSDHC Adapter and SanDisk Mobile Mate reader (Bulk Packaging)"
So far, I've been good. I never really had issues with WiFi, but new apps would freeze the phone the first time the ran 9 times out of 10. IMDB search still fails, but looking at reviews, I believe that's an app specific issue. At least it just causes the app to close out. It used to cause freezes. The rest of my apps are behaving well. They downloaded quickly and ran awesome the first time.
Just yesterday, I took a photo and the phone trying to write the photo to storage caused a freeze (and the photo was missing on reboot.)
On an unrelated note... Shazam was having trouble updating for the past few days... now it seems like it is completely gone from the market place. Huh?!
Anyway, I'll try to be a good helper and come back with updates, good or bad.
figured I'd chime in.
I got my DVP (at&t, 8gb) in last thursday. Just installing 4 apps over wifi and i had to pull battery probably 4times the first night i had it. I had done my homework before ordering on the card swap and it was part of my original plan. My 32gb card came in today. Hard reset, swapped, reinstalled everything and have been killing it on wifi all night. No issues whatsoever.

Had the same thing going on, it seems to be related to Shazam trying to move forward with a premium version that they could charge for, eitehr to buy the app for a subscription service (I'm not sure). Somehow their updates broke their app for a bit and they wound up pulling everything from the marketplace.
Not sure when (if?) it will or has been addressed.

From what I have heard, it is pulled do to an issue with the update placing the app in the Xbox Live hub. I was told Microsoft pulled it because that is a huge no-no to them.
On a side note... no one should pay a dime for this damn program. It is offered for free, with unlimited tagging, but ad-supported, on the iphone. There is no reason we should have to pay to get the same thing. I am tired of this game of charging us for stuff they give to Apple Sheep and charging us $10 for stuff the charge $0.99 for on the iphone.
At the same time Microsoft needs to change the environment and way the whole app handling works. I now have payed for two apps (Doodle God and the Xbox Live Blade game) which they pulled from the market. As you know I have sent back FIVE of these lemons now. There is no way to get either of these apps I paid for back on my phones, because for some INSANE reason I am not allowed to store these apps locally. I have tried getting refunds on both and have gotten no where with Microsoft or the developers. The developers from Doodle God told me to buy Doodle Devil. They can go stick themselves. Their fix for them stealing their app back from me, is to buy another one from them that is almost identical. COMPLETE INSANE APP STRUCTURE! Fix this NOW Microsoft.

Ok...my buddy over in MS mobility tells me that you are entitled to refund...if the story is as you say it is. A purchased app, that is removed from the system by MS or the devloper, and the item is clearly listed on the billing system. Then you are entitled to a refund. My buddy just told me to have you call Zune Support...thats the team that supports Marketplace. They will go through MS BILLING with you, find the app, and refund it.
let me know if thats not what happens.

Minor update - I wanted to load my phone up with music to "work the sdhc card" but only managed to get less than 2GB on there so far (since I'm picky .)
Total Storage: 29.90 GB
Available Storage: 27.16 GB
Listened to music in my car this morning via AUX jack. Still haven't had any freezes.
EDIT: Was in Marketplace looking at a Spotify related app; screen shots weren't loading. Hit Windows key and phone went to Start Screen but was frozen. One freeze about 36 hours into the card swap.
Another update - 1 more freeze Friday night, just trying to use Internet Explorer over 3G.
Marketplace WAS broken for about a day. Whenever I tried to access it, I got error code c00cee24. There are some forum posts about it, but no sure fixes. I'm not sure why mine went away, other than that I connected to Zune and was able to "see" the regular Zune/connected marketplace message.

Otherwise, very stable. Have been using a lot of apps and playing various games (Occupied, Pandas v. Ninjas, Flowerz - don't judge!)
Okay guys,,,,,
Here's the deal I purchased this version of the 7.7
https://www.atgsm.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=Phone-SamsungP6800Silver
I only paid $545 for it on ebay. Will tmoible's 3G work on this thing. I know that AT&T 3G works. Funny thing is I put my SIM Card into it and it worked great. Even made calls that were clear to hear via my bluetooth headset. I logged onto AT&T with my home computer and it showed as an unsuportted device so I chose the $15 non-smartphone unlimtted data feature and it worked for a day or 2. Now this morning I got a message .... a text message and an email stating I need to purchase a data plan for tablet or broadband device. I quickly put the sim card back into my old LG C550 flip phone which has media net and sports etc.. a non smart phone.
Question: Can they do this?
Question: How do they know its a tablet if these are internatinal versions.
Question: How can they opt to change your data feature
Question: Why do I need to purchase a data plan even when I didn't get a subsidized device. If I'd known that before I would just opt for an AT&T device.
hmmmmm.. .Makes me think about cancelling my service with AT&T when my contract ends in a few months....
Please help me out here.
1) Of course they can do this. It is their network - they make the rules.
2) Domestic or international - all devices identify themselves the same way. They know it is a P6800. They have obviously updated their tables of what is a tablet...
3) See 1)
4) See 1)
I recommend get a provider that serves your area, but has less rules. T-mobile is great, but pretty poor coverage. At least they let you use any compatible device and don't force you to buy a data plan with prepaid service. ATT and Verizon are similar to each other, but at least ATT does not cripple features.
Just seems odd.....
It seems odd.... My daughter has been using the Tmobile Samsung Vibrant (It has AT&T 3G bands in my area) for 2 years on AT&T with the unlimitted non smartphone rate of $15 per month and has never received any message about getting a data plan for smartphones. That is why I asked the question. Isn't the vibrant the same as the captivate with the differecne in the bands that work...... This just seems a bit strange.......... ARGGGG... Maybe I should have just looked for the wi-fi only model. .. too late for me becuase the seller charges a 15% restocking fee... besides I did get a good deal on it.
You point out one of the advantages in GSM phones. There are a variety of carriers that support GSM, and allow devices not their own on their network. AT&T is good about that. It gives you some choice. As far as I know, Verizon only accepts devices sold by them.
Just wondering
I was just wondering. It still seems odd. Think i will just cancel the service when the term expires in a few months. The first snafu was when they merged my accounts .. the rep told me we woudld keep the $30 unlimitted plan on my wife's iphone but when i merged the accounts the option was gone and they refused to get it back..... anyway..i am just venting... That is the power of the consumer.. if you dont' like it take my money somewhere else. only pitfall is in my area AT&T has good serivce.
Yes..you did get a super good deal..
I clicked on your link and saw 680 something price.
Cheaper still is Negri at 630 something..
good.job on price stopping...
Can you post an ebay link to that price?

You list one from Australia and one from the UK. Did either you or your friend get hit with Customs charges? That can make a real difference in price.
The Hong Kong merchants seem to be very creative at avoiding Customs charges (they lie).
No customs
I got mine for Austriala.. .didn't have any customs fees. The one from hong kong had no customs fees. it was listed as a photo frame on the form. so there was no custom import fee..

I quickly put the sim card back into my old LG C550 flip phone which has media net and sports etc.. a non smart phone.
Question: Can they do this?
Question: How do they know its a tablet if these are internatinal versions.
Question: How can they opt to change your data feature
Question: Why do I need to purchase a data plan even when I didn't get a subsidized device. If I'd known that before I would just opt for an AT&T device.
hmmmmm.. .Makes me think about cancelling my service with AT&T when my contract ends in a few months....
Please help me out here.

so, nobody got confused here? am I the only one?
1st of all your title said that you had the 3g/wifi version, and you gave the link for it, meanwhile, you get it a lot cheaper on ebay, which kinda tempting me to get one
i go through on all your link, the one you get yours ($545) and the one your friend get, and both of them are wifi only, yet you stated that you put in your sim card, and you get 3g on AT&T?
are you under prescription or something?
and there's the 3rd link about 7.0 plus aka P6200 which confused me even more, about what's the point of that link you gave? duh
Wow My apologies

I assure you I have the 3G international version. I will post a copy of my receipt. My apologies for the incorrect link. I will get it and post it shortly. I can't find the link however as one of the posters replied negri has it on sale. Maybe I just got lucky I don't know but it works and I stand by my posts. Do you need me to post videos or photos of me inserting the SIM card and getting the AT&T 3G and of me making a phone call. I can do that. The intention of my initial post was not to post a deal....it was simply a few questions I had about the device and AT&T practices. There are many other sources where you can obtain price cuts and deals just search with GOOGLE. On anohter note.....AMAZON has a few sellers who sell the item. There are 4 or 5 online and or local stores located in New York City also. I hope this helps. If I come across a good deal froma reputatble seller I will post it.
nah, no need. since you already admit that it was wrong link you posted
I just had a glimpse of hope of getting tab 7.7 for quite cheap like you did, but I did need 3g, not wifi only ^^
I dont live in NYC so local store is out of question for me
They did release it in my country but its the 32gb version and pretty expensive I'd say (around $820)
Whilst i already have 32gb micro sd so I think 16gb version is enough

I am curious...
Your first post, you said you paid 545 for thr 3G version....
but incorrectly inserted the wrong links..
Then a few post later.. you said yes indeed you got the 3g version for 545 again... and posted another link or 2...
Both these links showed Wi-Fi versions only..
Im curious as to a correct link to your 545 dollar 3g version...
thanks for making this happen.....
Id like to recommend your seller to another person...
IF you can supply a link to the 3g version at $545...
thanks.... Jim
I got lucky

I posted the link however as stated it was an incorrect link. I think I may have just got lucky and the seller sent me a 3G version or maybe the seller had the wrong decription either way... I am glad I got a deal. I don't know what else to tell you. You could possilby wait a few months and anticipate the price dropping due to all the new devices slated to hit the scene. As many of us know playing the waiting game for prices or next generation hardware is futile. I'd say..... buy the best you can get for the price you can pay and use the device the way you want. I find it is often pointless to wish for the stars knowing you don't want to part with your hard earned cash. So its either pay up or just play the waiting game. I don't mean to sound sarcastic but I have been getting private messages from people blasting me about the link I posted and how I need to hurry up and post the correct link. I posted the link that I used to get the device..... "Maybe the seller botched up and sent me the wrong item""" Good for me I guess ............ In any event I'd say stick with what you can afford and if not just don't buy anything .........
You can try this one.. very good
Yes its $645 but you do get it overnight from overseas to USA>

hey ya'll, my nexus just arrived today (im at work), im going to get the tmobile prepaid. what is the quickest way to get set up with the micro sim, order it online from tmobile? or will a tmobile store give me one if i go in? also walmart? i pretty much just want to use it by tonight, any help would be greatly appreciated. ( i did search the forums for an answer first but didnt find an exact answer, so sorry if i missed it)
You can find YouTube videos on how to manually use a scissor to cut a regular Sim to a micro Sim. You can go to a t mobile store or Walmart and get one. They might give one for free. (I went into a t mobile store near my house and when I asked if I can get one for free, they laughed at me and they said it costs $20. I have heard folks getting one for free in t mobile stores. I was so disappointed.)

This is what I used to chop my existing one.
Also I think they are ~$6-7 from tmobile.com (I found a deal where they were shipping free a few weeks back and jumped and micro and mini, why not?)
Since I am a tmobile customer, I just went to the store and they gave me one for free. They transferred my number to the new sim and I was out the door in 5 minutes.
Sv: quickest way to a micro sim
Same with me they transferred to a micro SIM for free... when I fist got the Nexus 4 was the very first batch and the store people wanted to know everything about it... can't believe it gas been 2 months...

I'm reading about issues with Sprint activation on phones purchased from Amazon and Best Buy. Is this everyone, or just a percentage of those MXPE owners?
Who has successfully activated on Sprint AND received the proper SIM from them? If you did, exactly how did you do it?
Who has not been able to activate?
Thank you!
I was able to activate on sprint. They had to leave off the last number in the IMEI to get their system to accept. Then they added a SIM card and everything was good to go. I don't know the details of what SIM card they had to use. My phone came from Amazon.

They couldn't activate me
This is the SIM that we need:
SIMGLW446C
Sku - CZ2144LWC
UPC: 019962040146
Confirmed via:
https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoX/comments/3kpbl1/how_i_set_up_my_moto_x_pure_on_sprint/
Just got off the phone with Sprint. I gave them the sku for the sim above and was told it is a worldwide sim and wouldn't work domestically (USA). She suggested a different domestic sim, had her send me both.

here is a pic of the sim ...
Here in Augusta a very knowledgeable rep gave me this for free.
But I ordered from moto so the 15th it is for me.
She also said that once more Moto X's were activated the easier the process would be.
In essence Sprint learns by trial and error..
Oh and sprints sim card seem to be device specific.Unlike Verizon and others.
I was thinking cut my Note 3 sim to Nano size and Vaaaala...
But she said that would not have worked. ..
I got a 128 gb sd and clear case and glass shield waiting..
Now if I can just wait it out...lol
Here is an excellent thread for us sprint users...

Interesting. In anticipation of getting my MXPE from Amazon tomorrow, I went into a Sprint store in Aliso Viejo last week and inquired about activation. The rep told me that I could not just take the SIM out of my Moto X 2013 because it doesn't work with SPARK and the new MXPE does, so it takes a different SIM. He was about to just give me the SIM when his coworker said that I had to have the phone in hand before they would give me the SIM.
That said, I'm just trying to get my ducks in a row for tomorrow morning when I open my phone. I would like to not have any surprise issues. I'm thinking I'll try to activate it myself online using the leave the last number off the imei technique and then head over to a Sprint store for the SIM. Anyone have any thoughts on that strategy?
It's amazing how I hear stories about various sprint stores. I mean you can drive 10 miles and get a totally different experience with customer service reps.
Some are geeks and know exactly what your talking about ,then others don't have a clue.
I find that getting familiar with a sharp rep at a store is invaluable. I mean I go to the same rep,who roots ,knows about xda,and if I do surprise her with something,she quickly researches to give a solid answer.
Same thing with phone support,I've practically hung up on some ,called back to another with better knowledge.
You would think cell phone providers would train their staff or at least one advance rep to talk the xda/geek talk that the average customer would not mention.
As someone posted in another thread, Sprint just put up a support page for the Moto X Pure 2015.

Glad someone posted the sim type. They have sent me three all being the wrong ones. If the one on Friday is not that one I'll request that skew.
Just got back from sprint store. Had a screenshot of the playbook document which I showed to them, also mentioned to leave out the last digit of the IMEI and it activated no problem.
