tmobile tv

So I just realized today, whenever i first got my phone (i think its been 1 week or 2 now), one of the first things i opened was tmobile tv, i remember it saying something about 30 day free trial, I was wondering will it charge me after 30 days? If so, how do i cancel it?

This is an exceptionally good question. I haven't accepted their trial yet because I planned to wait to start until I had time to play with it. That said, I figured I'd look up the answer for you so I could post a good natured poke of "Google is your friend". Turns out Google doesn't know either and by now I'm seriously questioning if TMOB knows!
I found 4 artiicals on TMO News that were almost completely content free, so much for truth in naming. I did find a reference that the new win-7 abomination will have free tv. Seems if anyone would pay for TV people stupid enough to buy win-7 would be the ones. Still that may imply MT4G will be free as well. Of course that begs the question exactly what is it a trial of.
By this time I was fairly obsessed and checked my account. According to TMOB the only upgrade they are currently dangling is the caller tunes thing. IMO this is just about the only thing you can do with a phone that is more annoying than RING-RING. But I suppose some people like it.
My several years old opinion of cellco tv service is that it compares very poorly to just about any other form of video consumption available. Of course that was Sprint and they compare very unfavorably to just about everything. So, maybe things are different, but until I see it I remain skeptical.
So ultimately I am unable to answer your question. Might be time to just call and ask them. But where's the fun in that?!

When you open the tmobile tv app it pops up a message stating how many days you have left on your trial. Just go into the help, subscriptions, and unsubscribe. Simple as that. I just did that last night.

Didn't receive one here, but if I had, I would have no problem telling them what I really think about their locked bootloader policy, design flaws, etc.

100 bucks for an hour survey... I'd be all over that! ;p

unfortunatly, alot of people must of wanted to tell them what they thought of the Atrix, as I did the quick questions, and they stated that they already reached their quota for the survey..
out of $100, awwww man!!.. haha..

got that yesterday, tried to get in, but as soon as i said i didn't have the laptop dock they said "thanks we're full".

Samsung did the same when I bought my Galaxy S, they even called me up for some more details about my answers.
And got the $ 6 weeks later

Dear Moto,
this is how you should be running your cellphone bizness:
unlock the damn bootloader
let them have the kernel source
the devs are willing to fix the mess you created with the blur crap
if you need to save money somewhere then fire the whole team that does blur, AND the guy that decided to lock up the bootloader / kernel
go ahead and make like 1 phone that runs win phone 7 so microsoft doesnt come after you a55
I guarentee you this will work, and don't forget to give me a job after.
k thx bye

I just got this email the other day. Im probably going to go ahead and do it

Per my answers, they stated they reached their quota.. hopefully you can get in, maybe they didn't like that I didn't buy the laptop dock, as that was one of their questions, if I had the laptop dock..

Basic question.. ie..
Who bought the Phone...
Who made the decision to buy the phone...
Is this your phone(shows picture of Atrix)...
did you buy the laptop dock(shows picture of the laptop dock)...
what day can we call you(give you a choice of 28th & 29th of March, I chose both)..
what time can we call you...
then I got shot down that the quota was full for the survey..

Yeah right, I'm sure they just want feedback from people who are actually getting the "full" experience this phone can offer via the laptop dock. But for the people who just wanted a really good phone they don't care to hear about it. Makes me wonder, is there anyone with the "tethering" package getting capped as well? I don't remember anyone specifically pointing that out....

I also got this email, but got it on March 18th. Signed up right away but havent heard anything bacck yet.

is google going to have enough phones for the initial rush

I think that if every one that wanted one signed up for email notification then they will have enough phones but just to be helpful and safe I had friends that do not want the phone sign up so more would be available.

Email notification has nothing to do with how many they allocated for the initial release. They allocated the initial batch way before the signup page went up.

I am sure Google will have 50 allotted for us early adopters.
...

This is really the silliest N4 related discussion I've seen so far!

I think we are going to break a record in the amount of TRASH threads today.

Haha. I hope they do sell out. If I don't like it I will be able to sling it on ebay for a profit!

I create 100 email addresses to get notification for.. just in case

Personally, I don't think they'll have enough, to be honest, a lot of manufacturers usually struggle during the first batch. I don't think I've really seen a launch where they don't sell out. Hell, even when ASUS launched the Eee Pad Transformer Prime, I was the 6th person in line in Canada to get it through NCIX and they still managed to delay almost a month after the tablets started shipping worldwide before I got mine after I preordered it.

Personally, I hope that they do sell out. I want to buy one tomorrow, but I also want to wait to read initial reviews. If they sell out, my decision to wait will be made easier.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Smart Dock 50% off w/ free shipping - YMMV

This stupid dock has been perpetually out of stock since I got my Note 2. It would play peek a boo with us for usually 12 hours at a time before going out of stock again. Well, for those of you who want one, now's your chance to get one at half off.
https://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-S20JWEGSTA
This is YMMV, so take it for what it's worth. I had no trouble placing the order, and was off the phone inside of five minutes.
All you need to do is call Samsung's order hotline and place an order for the Smart dock. Tell the rep that you had been e-mailed a 50% off code last year when you registered your phone with Samsung, but the dock has been mostly out of stock since you got the code. The code is now expired, and you were told someone could reissue a new code to you when it was back in stock again.
The number is 1-800-757-0280.
The representative did not issue me a new code, but instead simply took 50% off of my order over the phone with no questions asked. She simply said, "Ok, that's fine. I'll just need your credit card and billing address, and it'll be $49.99 plus tax with free shipping."
Note that this dock also works with the Galaxy S4 as well.
If they ask you for your old code for some reason, just hang up and try again, or post in here, and I'll give you my old, expired code to use.
Receipt added to attachments.

Your Code
Could you PM me your code? The rep wanted it in order to generate a new one. Thanks

It would be easier to just call back and try to get a new person. Here's a 50% off code that was found in a Google search. rE169748w
Normally, they will just have you place the order over the phone, instead of issuing a new code.

it worked!!! i ordered mine today!!!
soo happy, thanks OP! mad thanks!!!

Any reason this wouldn't work for the GS3 (current work phone). Also, I've heard that this only outputs to portrait mode--any recommendations on apps to force landscape mode--I see quite a few on the play market.
Thanks

You could try auto-rotate switch in the market. The dock is listed as being compatible with the Note 2 and S4.

If you want a technical reason for it, ask Samsung. All I can tell you is that their website lists only those two devices as compatible.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this...I just assumed with the wealth of knowledge on this forum, someone here might know the technical reasons why this would/wouldn't work w/ the GS3, as I'm much more likely to get a quick answer here vs asking a random email at Samsung.

Their staff is actually pretty knowledgeable if you call them up. Just ask for tech support or something. I know the S3 has MHL support, but I'm not familiar with the USB pinouts, which may be different than the Note 2. Quickest answer is going to be a short call to Samsung.

I just took advantage of this today!
easy as can be, just say as op suggests, no code even needed.
the cheapest I have seen this online was for $79 + shipping.
Thanks OP!

Could those of you who have this already post up some of the scenarios where you've used this extensively, or even just a one or two time usage that was really cool? I can see some benefits of this, but I can't decide if I'd use it very often...

I mostly just use it as a desk charger. It does make it easy to connect a USB drive though. I have a BT keyboard and a USB mouse connected to it.

Awesome! Worked perfectly for me. Was off the phone in under 5 minutes.

almost got it...
it Almost work for me too... If the agent tells you that she can't enter a promotion code or can't change the price ask her if her manager is able to modify it for her since you don't want to pay more for something you're deem to get less.
I say "almost" because they don't ship to canada.
I'll try canada now... see how it goes.

...
saw this yesterday and got on it tried several times and no one will do it :'(
they all give same reason that 50% off is for 50$ or less items..
if any one gets lucky buy two and sell me one please

That article is from two years ago.

i heared, there will be a next gen this fall. But im interessted, so maybe ill give it private a try... as soon as i get in stuff!

Did anyone find a jailbreak or a Windows driver to get access to the watch. Support will be closed very soon, seems to be there is no possibility to download GPX tracks from the watch directly.

Also want to know!
I've been talking to Adidas, and they say that my warranty has void, so they cannot do anything about it!!! So annoying...
I threatened them about writing all over the internet the good service they provide! Anybody can help me out? Sites, places to talk real bad about this issue?
It is a shame that a super brand like Adidas don't ensure the usability of their own and expensive products, don't you guys agree?

sorry for the revival - any one know how to bypass the activation on these devices ? had my device reset and now cannot activate - since unable to get token /login...FFS!! So for folks that are still using this - don't reset device or else you'll have a nice paper weight.
haven't found anyway to put the device in debugging mode to maybe at least bypass activation so I can just use the core features (mp3/gps/HRM).
if you remove the rear cover - there is pads for UART/SPI not to sure at this stage - will have to do some digging...
Flash CHIP (4GB) is SAMSUNG KLM4G1YE4C-B001.

Just to keep everybody informed!
After many, many, but many complains on Adidas, and with the good help of the resolver . com, i got my money back after sending the watch to Germany.
The only bad thing was that had to wait for 2 months after they got the watch there, but...

Bastards
Stopping the support before the announced date - thats disgusting!
Never will buy Adidas products again!
I've used mine for several years and now its not the question of money! Still use them as HRM monitor, hoping to find the solution to download other info some day!

Could you please provide more details on how you got your money back? I was just talking to the support today and they told me to speak with Runtastic (why ever, since I doubt that they took over the software development for the watch).

Yeah, they also told me that, but i fought against that argument because i bought it on Adidas (had a proof of that with me) and not on Runtastic, whatever that companies sells, so my complaint was against Adidas.
Also opened a case on Resolver.co.uk, which did help.
And threatened them al the time to spread the news about this nasty behaviour of Adidas All Over the Internet!
Much efforts, but they did compensate at the end.
Hope this can help you

Thanks a lot - guess that's the only thing I can do right now.
From a technical point of view I'm still wondering, why they didn't publish a possibility, to let the issue get fixed by the community (of course I'd expect a company like Adidas to fix it by themselves, but that oviously didn't happen). I'd assume that they change shouldn't be that big, since only the upload target has to be changed - or am I mistaken? And even in the case, that they don't want to publish any details on the watch OS or the app running ontop, it should have been possible to just create a website that accepts MiCoach logins that are trying to publish acitivites and just forward them to the Runtastic site.
Either approch would be better than just pissing off all the people who payed a lot of money for the watch.

Still noone found a possbility to download GPX (or any different format) files? Think this is the only thing which is missing to run standalone ... meanwhile I've many unsynced runs on my(our) watch(es).
