T-Mobile "My Account" application

There is an app called "My Account" in the market by T-Mobile that allows you to view account data such as minutes used/available, billing balance etc.
The app is free and to me its helpful. Just thought I'd share...

yea
i LOVED it when i put it on my phone. No matter what company you go through, the webpage, billing, minutes of use, txt usage, is horrible. This app made it VERY easy to read, use, and even pay a bill (IT EVEN TELLS YOU THE BATTERY LIFE, CONDITION etc, also has payment history that isnt tied to that programs usage to pay bills, all your payments are shown)

I had to re-read what he wrote as well, but he meant that every other tools a company used to provide account information had been horrible, and this app is the exception.

I absolutely love it.

That's amazing! I'm hoping it's from Tmobile so personal info isn't stolen, but considering it finds the info without me logging in, it MUST have access to tmobile's servers.

Yeah, it's official from T-Mobile. They announced it first in their official forums, so no worries!

They seem like they took all precautions by not allowing wifi enable checking.

Sugar!!!!!

Thanks, this is great! Beats using the browser to get to my acocunt info

Good o'l Tmobile. Finally an application I can recommend to customers. It also has some really neat steps for Trouble Shooting that may answer some questions without having to call in if you're having problems. So check it.

oops

heh, yea wrote that quickly while at work. Completly failed on the spellcheck

Yeah its a pretty useful app. Especially considering my bill is due tomorrow lol.

Can't find this on the UK market, can somebody upload the apk for me?

Please
Does any one have the 1.0 version of this app. I downloaded the 1.1 update and now i can not use this app because it only requires 3g and edge. I only have wifi but they took that off for secority reasons. if you have 1.0 please back it up and upload. thanks

My Account 1.0.0

Can Someone upload the newest version ?

I just tested this with my G1 on Tmo in the UK and it doesn't work properly. It shows someone's account details, but they are not mine. I'm not greatly surprised it didn't work or I would have expected to see it on the Market in the UK. I am surprised that it shows someone's details though rather than an error!
Aleks

lolz i have the same, it's not my account info what the application shows.

Where is the official facebook app?!

wasnt it supposed to drop a few weeks ago? anyone got the dirt on this?
I grow more frustrated with bloo and babbler everyday. Need a real solution!

You and me both

just use the mobile facebook page, it's better than any app I've ever come across anyway.
There's actually two versions:
x.facebook.com - better version, possibly the iPhone version. My Magic currently defaults to this no matter which url I enter.
m.facebook.com - slightly inferior, suited to WM & Symbian

Those are both pretty good, but can't seem to make status comments on the iphone version.
m.facebook.com is better but i just get redirected to iphone version.

You can indeed set a status on the iPhone version, you simply press "status" which appears in the blue bar at the top left

Yes, but try comenting on someones status.. or replying to someone that commented on your status

Oh sorry, misread...I thought you said you can't add a status of your own.
Yeah I can't seem to find how to comment either actually but you can go to the m.facebook site by clicking "Mobile site" at the bottom of the page. That stops the default to x.facebook that you get by typing them in the address bar

Ah nice, it is working. Last time I tried it just kept redirecting me. Hmm.. perhaps I didn't press that link

its aggravating that because of google and facebook hating eachother they're taking it out on their customers! oh well hopefully they figure this out soon.

i was under the impression that google had sent an android engineer to facebook to help them sort it out quicker.

ahahha man that guy must feel like a total douche bag

The lack of an official facebook app was the only thing that shocked me. I just got my MT3G two days ago and that was pretty upsetting considering even the Blackberry FB app was pretty nice.

Maybe t-mobile will be releasing a facebook app for their mytouch.

That's not an official facebook app, just a facebook sync app htc made.

ahh, ok. I seen that and thought maybe there was going to be a facebook app that worked in conjunction with the phone or something.

Good question.
I'm sick of Babbler and Bloo.
Those are crap, in my opinion.
FACEBOOK FTW!!!

I was fortunate enough to get a beta copy of the official app... guys all I can say is wow, this is gonna blow the iphone app out the water!!!
It's on the same level if not above. It does everything your desktop version does , chat is enabled. It was a beta and was still a little bit slow but you can get a general idea of where they are going with the app
Dont know if I'm allowed to post screenshots??

Is there an app that....

On the Iphone there is an app that allows you to see other iphone users in your area and chat with them is there such an app on android ?
Stephen Fry had it on his iphone when he was on topgear a few months back. I am looking for something similar but not focused on a particualr sex.

There's one thats called gfinder or something similar. I'll try and find the exact name unless someone else can chime in.

When I first went into the t-mobile store to check out the g1, they showed me something similiar to what you are asking but the downfall was that other g1 users had to opt in to use it. For some reason I thought it was part of the original cupcake software

Now that I checked, it is right in google maps, called latitude

latitude
Does latitude have general people on it or do you have to add friends before you can use it ???

It's friends only.

You have to add friends but the gfinder or gfindster just see's everyone, but of course they would have to have the app installed. I used it a long time ago and didn't think much of it. While looking that up I saw another app called loopt that looks like the same thing, I could be wrong tho.

Latitude works for everybody. Not just G1 users. It uses your Gmail account to send request to other people who have to accept you and allow you to see where they are at and chat and stuff. Works nicely, but you have to know their e-mail address to get them added.
So, no you can not find random people with G1's to connect with. I don't know if there is an app that will allow that, but Latitude will not.

I believe you have to opt in to use it, general people on there and since it requires your gps to use, I don't think that you will find any one using except for the most basic users that are unaware that turning off the gps saves you some serious battery life

Aight I just looked it up and its call GFindster PREMIUM but they also have a lite version.

Hmmm, seems like the salesman at t-mobile gave me the wrong info then but since I never used it, I was baseing my info on inacurate info, sorry

No your right cause they was pushing the whole latitude thing. But GFindster is just a seperate app that looks up anyone without having them listed as friends.

thankyou
Thankyou you all for your help I will check out the gfindster app and see how it goes.

you should also check out buddymob
shows where all users are on a map around you and you can click on their little dot (pink for women, blue for guys) and it will show you their profile without having to be their friend

Grooveshark Mobile FREE, No premium required

Spotify-like app!!
Some time ago, i found this on the ADC2 and decided to keep the apk. The grooveshark people decided to release it just for premium users but the old one was free and it still works. And it does just great!
Features:
*Log in with your account
*Playlist
*Radio mode
*and many more!

works great, awesom!

Well this was released as a free app, so i think is not warez...

forces app shutdown on HTC Desire..

Premium is 3$ a month and I believe the app has been updated quite a few times after ADC2. If you like the service, consider subscribing.
The updated app is still giving me trouble once in a while, but most of the time it just works. Half the time it doesn't, it is probably the bad 3G connection in the area where I live that is messing it up.

I'd rather just get Spotify if i wanted something like that. What's the point in paying reliantly the same amount of money for something inferior?

It's hardly the same amount of money - Grooveshark is about one fifth the price (£2, as opposed to £10)

Megaupload down.
Yo! If you weren't aware yet, megaupload isn't operative anymore. Any chance you could upload this to some other site? Would be much appriciated.

This app is no longer free any way so reposting would be illegal.
P.S. I don't think the 'cracked' version works anymore

New version 2.6.5
I used 2.2.1 but not work any more, some body have 2.6.5

Hi!
Just wondering if we can start a list of Market and one for Non Market recommended Apps unless there is one that I have missed already!

If you scroll through till the end, there is a recommended list of Apps.
I strongly recommend you Follow the guide to root, enable side loading, as well lift the market restrictions that ATT has put on the phone. No reason not to.
(The section on Launcher Pro is optional, since some people seem to like TouchWiz (i used it for a while, just switched to launcherPro to try it out) )

I still think we need a dedicated apps thread that keeps growing like the one we have for the Tilt2

i think a non-market app thread would be especially helpful

i found some new apps to add on to the pimp my captivate apps i wrote up. I no longer have access to my pdf but if one of you start a thread and make it look sexy, ill be glad to add some amazing new apps peeps should try.

Well I suck at that so I would let anyone else with skills to take over

I'll do it. Give me a few hours to get everything together.
Its my first time doing one of these, but I think if I can set it up right the first time, managing it will be fairly easy.
That said, is there a limit on how many post you can reserve? To give an ideal solution to the problem, I'd be looking at like 15 or so. Would people have a problem with this, or is that an acceptable number?

Sweet mate....not sure about the reserves Q...maybe check the Tilt 2 thread for ideas

Already did that. I've asked for permission (awaiting reply) to steal the design and I've made a few modifications to it that I think will make it easier to maintain and access. However, doing so requires a tremendous number of reserved posts. I'm trying to decrease the number by combining sections I think will have a low volume, but it will still take a large number of posts to do what I want.

Doesnt bother me at all but maybe ask a mod?

Just as an update.
I've gotten a mod's ok on reserving the number of posts in want. The only. Stipulation is it has to be organized. And I don't think that will be a problem.
I'm still waiting on a response from the Rhodium thread upkeeper, and iirc the thread was last updated in May. If I don't have a response by this time tomorroe, ill assume they've left XDA indefinitely, and will post the topic. If they later have an issue with my using a similar format, ill just edit my format.
In the mean time, ill continue working on the formatting of the thread and include a few items to see how it will look when populated. Hopefully this turns out as awesomely as I want it to.
I don't think this thread will take much more than an hour or so to maintain after it gets rolling, so keeping it up to date shouldn't be an issue by my logic. I just hope people provide all relavant information. Lol
It's not much, but id like to do my part to contribute its to a community that provides so much information and so many resources. Maybe this way I wont feel like such a leech. XD
Sent from my Samsung Captivate

I think you are cool to start it over and then modify if needed...I doubt that that poster is going to complain...I mean really...

How do I get to the Pimp My Captivate site?
Thanks
