Ok, so I of course went over my 5gb again.like every month. Was using the APN Settings to kill throttling and deleted the throttled folder with root explorer.was working great but now its not working only getting 0.05mg download speeds. And everything seems to time out.I really hate fcking throttling from T-Mobile.wouldn't be a problem but when I can't even load a web page or the market without it timing out half the time. Man WTF! Why do I pay over $120 a month. Wish I could really stop them from throttling me.

You should tell them you can't navigate the web anymore cause they throttled your web browsing , that is a service you pay for monthly so them taking it away from you is breach of contact if it takes those speeds to browse the internet that's not your fault and being rejected from the net due to time out means your paying for a service you can no longer use they either need to make the internet not require those speeds or not throttle people remember you don't pay for unlimited downloads but you do pay for unlimited web so now your paying them for something you can't even use I would complain till my head blew up I mean they sent me this phone for free cause I complained I'm sure they can hook you up just be prepared to ***** a lot for long periods of time be persistent and make sure they know this is unacceptable and the next time it happens you'll terminate service with them and front line a boycott I'm sure thee will be plenty of pissed off people to join you or just roll over and let them service you from behind
Dam T-Mobile fixed it already.dam it! Guess I'm SOL!

The very first time I get throttled I will cancel my service, sell my phone to cover the cancellation and take my number and 120 a month elsewhere. Throttling the vibrant is dumb on so many levels. They should think that these devices are going to reach those levels often and so wait until the phones are closer to the end of their contract. Especially since the phones resale value will cover the ETF. Dumb. Id cancel and go elsewhere. If you don't, enjoy being pimped. Most my use is on wifi. Just once, thats all that is needed.

I just spoke to Orange upgrades, and after being fobbed off all week they were finally able to tell me that the Galaxy S2 won't be available with them til start of June, as they do extra testing on the devices that other companies don't!
I now have a bit of a dilemma as I would rather stay with Orange directly as they should be able to offer me a good contract to stay with them, but I could go to Phones 4 u or even switch to O2 and get the phone now!
Anyone else in this situation, or have any advice?!
You can get it on orange via phones4u - even as an upgrade.

Well that's ridiculous, by "extra testing" they probably mean "figure out how to slow the device to an absolute crawl with bloatware that no one wants"
I was told that too. I ended up cancelling my contract and taking a new one out with Phones4u whose phones are unlocked and free from bloatware.
Got a better deal than Orange could offer me too.

Get it off the net!

I second this, it's exactly what I did. The phone is great but what amazes me more is the amount of time my battery lasts on my HTC Hero now it's been left alone in the shadows of my GS2. It's on its 4th day without charge!

hey vinokirk
Yh thats the contract Ive ordered, plus I get a free 8GB micro SD card aswell
Im not sure that this contract has 1GB of data, even though you can have unlimited internet from the booster.
According to T mobiles internet policy, unlimited internet is cap to 500mb.

Tmobile gives me the second best signal at home and work, the first best being 3. The only thing is, if you buy tmobile via a 3rd party then your data speeds are throttled at 350kbps and you have to pay an extra £5/month to get their full 1.8mbps(i believe 1.8mb is their max). So im waiting till tmobile stock the SGS2 to see what deal theyll give me... a load of crap i bet. Tmobile are crap when it comes to giving the customer a good deal! Good network but bad deals
I wish they spent all that extra time trying to improve their reception.
Phones4u is your best bet mate, though last I heard they were out of stock for online orders.

my t-mobile contract is through e2save and i can tell u now it isnt throttled.
T-mobile and Orange can share networks, so if your t-mobile, you can use the orange network to get better signal and it works the other way too, im orange and with this im very very rarely without signal
The signal sharing is only on 2g. Data connections are still separate.
I would have moved to Orange if data was shared too, it would have been perfect.
Edit: I know the discussion was mainly on call reception, but I thought it worth mentioning that it's not a fully-shared deal. Hopefully that will change.

I second that view. That and their s**t signal in my area is what puts me off orange completely. They are the only network that madly brands the phones in the UK. Why don't they leave it alone, or at least leave the box the nornal goddam colour and not have their own special box!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty much what they tried to push me into getting today. In fact, even after picking up their sheet of paper with all the contracts on and actually pointing out the ones that I was after they kept trying to push for the above with comments like "Yeah, but we're saving you money this way and you can downgrade next year..."

I managed to keep the same number but only thanks to an awesome guy at Orange who just cancelled my contract that released the number and then moved it over to my new SIM. The number port took 2 minutes
so, mods, if this isn't a good place for the thread, feel free to lock it or whatever..i had no idea where else to post it..
but basically, this month at work we had a contest. if we sold 5 fios triple plays, whoever won, would win a samsung galaxy tab 10.1. it's a sick tab, with a nice portfolio case. (BTW, it doesn't have to be a triple play. if you're interested in ANYTHING, let me know, because the more signups the better, especially in verizon's eyes for our store!
there's only a few days left in the month, and i'm only at 2.5 sold, because it's hard to sell every customer on fios.
basically, i'm asking that if anyone here is seriously interested, to let me know..i can look up your address and check if you have fios available, and if you're interested, i can sign you up.
if you sign up, the the higher TRIPLE PLAY packages will get you a $500 visa gift card, and the lower ones will give you $250....so, verizon is GIVING you money just to sign up, which is sick.
if anyone wants details, or a quote, or interested in signing up, please either respond here, or throw me a PM. i'd love to win this tab, and there's only a few days left! thanks guys!
I would, but theres no landline internet out here...just satelite, mobile, or the dreaded....dial up! "Shivers"
I just signed up for internet only. It would have to be a Triple Play to qualify for you?
nah, not just a triple play...i got the 0.5 one because it was phone and internet lol..if it's internet/tv, it counts as a triple play for my contest..if it's phone/internet, it's 0.5..and internet would probably be 0.5 too lol
did you get it yet, cares? cancel it, and let me sign ya up haha (i've had people do that before lol)

Like I said, phone co can only get 9600 baud dialup at the house here which is weird because I am in the middle of the city.... max dist from two closest points of access... or something like that. Quest -> Century Link or whatever they are called now days has basically been non-competitive. Once they lost the monopoly... people just plain left. Their commercials are a bit of a joke.
I pay less than $180 for 50mb/10mb business connection (no blocked ports and better SLA than Residential service) and a block of 16 IP's. No bandwidth limitations, all I can eat. Oh that includes two land phone lines, one for the office and one for the house though I am going to drop the house one soon.
Use Cox Residential for cable (house pays for that, not business) so that is separate.
that sounds like a damn fine deal!
i'll sign up if you can beat what i'm currently paying for cable, internet, and phone.
of course, that means you'd literally have to pay me.
i'll pay you in a galaxy tab! wait no, then there would be no point in me even playing in this contest lol

I think they could do a little better then 9600kps over fiber. Can you even get FIOS at your location or are you referring to service over the existing copper lines?
Good deal on the business connection, I've thought about doing the same with Comcast to get rid of their stupid monthly cap...

Welcome to the club. I'm in Raleigh, and I am sick of getting 15mbps at 5:00 AM and 1.5-2 mbps at 5 in the evening. You never know what speed you are going to get.
you guys in NC, fi you wanna PM me an address of yours , or around you, i can check. i haven't checked NC yet, but a lot of other people sent me PM's, and unfortunately verizon hasn't rolled it out to their areas yet
Just got one and it made my reception at home great. Plus Att gave me one free just had to ask nicely.

Sure wish they'd do that for me. I live in a hilly area where the towers just don't reach my home (I'm at 1 bar of service in half the house, no service in the lower level, and on the roof I'm lucky to get 3 bars. 80-90% of calls are dropped here). I've called over a dozen times, tried talking to the stores and having them call and ask, but no luck. Every single rep has said they're not allowed to give out Microcells like that. Especially when I'm a quarter mile from the nearest tower. Sure doesn't matter that there's a freaking hill between me and the tower. LOL.

Ahh your right they can't but the Rep I talked to found a way around it. She credited my account 216 which is what my bill is then she said now instead of paying your bill this month go to Att store and get a microcell for the same price. They can credit your account for drop calls.

Hmm...I'll have to try that with them. Thanks
Paid for mine about a year ago, definitely helped the the signal inside the house, get a steady 4-5 bars now when before it was one if I was lucky. Its a shame though some had to pay for a micro-cell when ATT should have been investing in increasing thier network towers, and then they want to turn around and try to charge you $20 a month for unlimited calling on the micro-cell! That means they want to charge you to help them by decreasing their tower traffic and using your wifi, that's BS where I come from, luckily I hardly use my minutes I pay for anyway!
The problem around here is none of the residents want the towers nearby, but then complain about bad signal all the time.
And I totally agree about charging for unlimited voice over the microcell. It's using my cable connection I'm already paying for, why should I pay again? They should be offering it for free to relieve stress from the overcrowded towers.
I didn't get that call crap.

I had terrible signal at my house. There was literally a 2x2 foot area I could stand in my front yard and I could get one bar. Talked to AT&T about a Microcell, but they wanted $200 for it. I gave up arguing with them, so the wife calls immediately after I hang up and they send her one for the cost of shipping, which was $10. It was pretty irritating, but it's nice to have full bars in my house now.
One odd thing I've noticed. If I'm home for most of the day, connecting through the Microcell, I have to reboot my phone when I leave the house for it to pick up a regular signal. Not really a problem, just a quirk that I run into.

Try turning airplane mode on then back off. Shouldn't have to do a full reboot.
any advice
considering buying this device because service in my house is awful. i am not technically an att customer but i am using their service through net 10 with an att sim card. i know very little about femtocells but was curious if there were any other options of products besides this "att microcell". is it possible to purchase another brand of femtocell other than this official att microcell and have it improve my att signal? any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have an at&t microcell and I love it! You have to have an at&t account to set it up, and configure the gps. So I'm not sure you should even consider an at&t microcell unless net 10 can let you access it. Maybe if you have a friend or family member on at&t you can ask them to set it up for you. I searched for many other ways to improve my signal and they were pricy! Like $500 bucks for a crappy signal booster that required mounting antennas and stuff. I settled on the microcell and have no regrets! Sorry if I'm not much help.
I'm planning on switching from T-mobile to Verizon soon (December 24th, the first day we can leave t-mo) and am wondering if there is a best way to start service with Verizon? In a corporate store? Online? Verizon kiosk in a local store? (most of these kiosks around here waive certain fees and throw in extra car chargers, etc.) We'll be activating four lines, three with the DNA. Are there any ways that give discounts over others? Any input from a VZW employee (or anyone who knows) would be great.
Thanks
Interesting, I'm planning on leaving Verizon for T mobile, any reason your leaving? I just miss unlimited data.
I would start an account using a 3rd party retailer as you can save a bit off the phone price. I purchased 3 DNAs from Wirefly for $150 each, use coupon code WIREFLYBLUE83 and you'll get a free bluetooth for each phone.
I also think I read something about the dna at Walmart for about the same price and you get a gift card.
Edit: also check if your place of employment gets a discount, I just recently found out that mine does so I get 19% off monthly, mine as well apply it to your account from the start if available.

We're leaving (mainly) because we get no reception at our house, work, school, and a few other places we frequent. It works (in LA) fine in most public places, outside, and (sometimes) in the top floor of houses but, at least for us, reception indoors completely drops. Wifi calling partially offsets this, but we don't have wifi everywhere. The big push over the edge for us is that there is only sporadic reception when traveling between cities on most highways.
So, if you have wifi at most places you go and you just need unlimited data for on the road while in the city or in the upper floors of buildings, T-mo will probably be just fine for you.

Yes, correct and not an exaggeration.
Hmm, so I guess it's slow data or $15/gb over...
As everyone knows Verizon has the best coverage which is true so I'm sure you'll be happy with the switch.

Luckily we're not heavy data users, so we're willing to pay a bit more for far better service. Thanks all for your help.
I switched from sprint to verizon not too long ago and I went to an Official Verizon Store and they wouldnt waive any fees or add any extras in either,
however if you go to a best buy store and sign up through best buy (probably a better way to do it) they will price match any sale that verizon does they may waive some fees and/or throw in a couple of cases too.
The rest of my fam. went to a best buy activated 4 GSIII's and paid $70 per phone + $35 activation fee for each one. The black tie protection that BB offers is much better than vz insurance
Black Tie = $10/Mo. (up to $149) OR a 1 time payment of $149 (up front) per device and you can break your phone every day and get a new one if they have them in stock and NO deductible. (with BB's BT plan you dont pay anymore money after the 149)
VZ Asurion = 6.99/Mo. (forever) $100 deductible every time you break your device
With BB you have 30 days price match guarantee so like i said before, if you can find any regular sale (Cant be a sprint GSIII for $50, it has to be the verizon variant in order to qualify) you get it for that price. We found the GSIII on amazonwireless.com for $69.99 so we went in and they refunded $400 to the CC.
Go to BB and they will hook you up and get the black tie protection plan (you wont regret it)
*i was just using the GSIII as an example

Wow I left T-Mobile a year and a half ago for the exact same reason. I could stand on my front porch and have great reception and then step one foot inside my house and then get none. Inside pretty much any place I would frequent would get terrible reception but the minute I stepped outside everything would be fine. Switching to Verizon was an excellent choice as I no longer have that problem. I have excellent reception pretty much everywhere I go now.
As far as the topic goes, I would recommend trying Best Buy as .torrented has mentioned.
