Hello! I'm new to the forum and just recently purchased a DVP. First, thank you all for your posts and info. You've already answered many of my questions.
Now, I've searched the forum for awhile and I haven't been able to answer this one question:
For those of you using the DVP with an AT&T account, does AT&T recognize the DVP as a smartphone or will it be considered a "dumbphone"? My reason for asking is due to a decent price difference between data plans for smarthphones and dumbphones.
If this has already been answered, please redirect me!
Thanks in advance!
Well I got my answer. ATT does not recognize the phone as a smartphone and will only charge for the $10 unlimited data plan.
However, as I'm sure most of you already know there is no 3G when using this phone with ATT and for whatever reason, EDGE data doesn't seem to be working either. I can make calls and send sms but no web. Perhaps I am doing something wrong on my end because the EDGE "E" logo apears next to my signal whenever I turn data on in my settings (which means my phone recognizes the data signal?).
At any rate, any and all insight is welcome. Thanks!

what is your OS version and firmware version? Did u have Nodo pre-installed?
Perfect timing. I was just about to start looking into that. Works perfect now, a thousand times thank you!!!!!!!!!!
I just got this phone yesterday, came with 32G card already installed, and had my unlock code from dell in under 4 hours. I was thinking about pulling the card out to see what kind it was so I could post it on here but it's been working so well I just don't want to risk it (Sorry!!). The phone hasn't had a single glitch so far (knock on wood) and I've been using pretty heavily, wifi included. I haven't installed any updates yet, I think I might just let it go unless it starts acting up. By the way, it's a 12/16 build, the firmware is 2250.1500.7004.105, and the OS version is 7.0.7004.0 . And now that I have my $10 unlimited data plan I can start using all the goodies!!
Thanks again!
Sorry forgot to mention it was an ebay purchase. Pretty important part for the 32G card!
OK so my 3g was working fine before i permanent root my G2 and flashed a custom rom.
When i was using the custom rom i could only connect to wifi for internet.
I just reverted everything back to stock and the problem remains.
the problem is the "H" sign will appear with flashing arrows but webpages,market,youtube doesn't load anything. I get the error of no data connectivity.
i tried switching to EDGE but the same thing happens.
i know the APN is correctly set. AND its not a service issue because i tested same sim card on different phones and it downloads normally.
i Have no idea how to fix this
please help me, thanks
changing your current radio could fix the problem
Ive tried 4 different radios and its the same. I think i know whats the problem but can anybody confirm it?
I came from an tmobile HD2 which was wm6.5 so my internet is "smartphone unlimited data"
whereas i believe i need a specific "android data plan".
Is there a workaround for this ?
Nope. I came from an HD2 to a G2 and had to get an Android data plan. The good news was that I called T-Mobile and complained about the extra $5 and acted all upset and what not and they gave me the Android data plan for $25 like my Smartphone data plan was.
Darn ok so i guess calling them would be the only solution to fix it.
Did they say you had to pay extra to get 4g speed or is it included with that 25dollar plan?
They say that they can't guarantee 4g speeds and they just don't know but I can tell you. You definitely get the 4g speeds. Look at my sig. That's on the data plan I'm using now.
Forwhatever Reason i have this phone with sprint, it wont let me use it as a wifi hotspot.
i am even paying extra a month for the ability to do so.
it has a tethering option but when you click on it there is no option for wifi..
this is super frustrating i know im a noob but please assist if you can.
So do any of you lovely gentlemen or ladies know a good app for tether with TMobile carrier?
I got a dealer plan (unlimited data, text, 2000 mins). Its suppose to have tethering but it does not. I asked my friend who use to work there (that is how I got the line) and he said that the tethering was on my plan as it is with every other dealer line. I wasnt sure at first since I was on an iPhone and he said since my iPhone wasnt a TMobile iPhone that was why the tethering wasnt working. I then switched to Android LG G2 not to long ago, TMobile official, and still doesnt let me tether. Official app and everything. I would tell him to check the account and fix it, but he doesnt work there anymore :crying: lol. I tried clockworkmod's tether and it works, but it only works for 10 mins at a time then i got to restart the app on my computer. I want to tether so I can use my data instead of my home internet since im always lagging when I play games or surfing the web by my siblings. Been going on for a while and this is my last resort. :|
So it will be greatly appreciated if I can find a good tether app that works all the time so I can use the internet again and play some League of Legends lol.
Thanks to those who try to help, they shall receive a thanks.
So I just, unfortunately, had to go back to ATT and now they don't allow mobile hotspots on their unlimited data plans. For the life of me I cant figure out how to get the hotspot/tether to work. Netshare wont work and Foxfi also wont work. Am I doing something wrong, any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

They block tethering on the unlimited plan for various reasons, mostly subject would be abuse of unlimited data I would assume.
I'm on the same plan. What I did for a work around is I flashed the AQDE U1 USA unlocked firmware and unlimited tethering works great! When using the U1 firmware you do lose some features like VoLTE and video calling BUT you can get those features back by flashing ATT user data file in the UMS slot using odin. This will wipe your phone's data so make sure to have everything backed up before you start flashing stuff.
There are numerous threads in the S8 and S8+ section on how to flash with Odin. There are also downloads of all the files you should need. I would research for a day or two if this is new to you, then go about your business. Good Luck!
