it will be similar but yet not similar....................it will be threaded but it wont be all pretty; but yes threaded there is a video that shows this i dont recall which one due to the fact that there are like 30 videos on youtube......but its there somewhere
Thanks for the reply...I really got used to the 6.1 version. I hope somebody way smarter than me develops a nice program similar to what we have been using.
with this being so open...the sky is the limit on what can be done...look at what people have done with WM on here. These guys will be computing their fingers off making new apps...i am sure that we will not have to use the android market..im sure that people will make apps-> download to computer->use computer to put on our SD-> install to phone...
I like the threaded SMS - It's very smooth for me, kind of like a prettier IRC.
I give it 2 weeks max till it comes out if it isn't already on g1, threaded text is my favorite feature from 6.1.

It's there, and is mentioned a few times in the user guide:
G1 User Guide-Page 57 said:
Select a message thread in the list to open it for reading. When open, the individual messages appear stacked on the screen, much like with instant messaging conversations (or chats). Note that messages you send are also listed in the Read view.

now i am using excalibur with 4.99 internet plan.

Negative. The data plan is required. It will be added to your account when you get the phone. It's tied to the G1.

Tmo said the same thing with the sidekicks. But after a while you were able to remove sidekick plan.
It may very well be. But the fact is that the data plan is part of buying the phone. If you make changes to the plan within the term of your new, two-year contract, you risk that early-termination fee deal.
For those who didn't re-up a contract for the phone, nobody knows just yet how it will work if you cancel the data plan.
This is like if you go to the AT&T wireless forums, 5000 questions a day about removing the iPhone plan (can't be done). Are there ways around it? We don't know yet. What we do know is, T-Mobile is making you keep the plan as long as you keep the phone, exactly like iPhone. If you can find a way to use it without the plan but still get unlimited data, do that.
technically, if Tmobile doesnt know you have the Dream, they cant make you purchase a package (unless I am missing something). If you leave your phone listed in the My Tmobile as a Dash, or whatever, the options available for that phone are shown and will not include the dream packages. If you buy the phone elsewhere, they wont know until you tell them.
Of course I have absolutely no idea why you would want a phone like this without data (and without text messaging, since they are likely tied) as it would be so crippled.
well t-mobile would know because i called them a day and they told me every phone i've used including the iphone. They said everytime you make a call from you cell they get info on what phone your using
interesting, because they only knew the last phone they sold me when I called them before. I have never bought a Dash from them, yet they allowed me to add tzones access to my "razr" and use it on the Dash for over a year before I upgraded to the full internet plan.

Same thing with my tilt... in fact I keep telling them that it's the wing and my.t-mobile.com never saves it. I think that if you have a t-mobile phone they can tell but if it's an att or even a CID/SIM unlocked phone (Correct me if I am wrong on the CID/SIM part) they can still see it but it doesn't match any of their phones so they don't know what it is.
wat if i have familt text messaging can i only pay 15 or 20 for data
Vendor and model/serial number are contained in the IMEI.
eg. 00|000000|111111|0
First 2 groups are TAC and stuff, third is UE serial, last is checksum bit.
IMEI and IMSI are sent to the network when the device attatches to a cell.
[edit]
Looked at the spec quickly (just happened to have Rel6 to hand, as you do)
Its in 22.016 if anyone is interested.
Composition of IMEI
The composition of the IMEI shall be such that each individual mobile station equipment can be separately identified.
Information is contained in the IMEI by which the PLMN, after requesting it, can immediately decide whether or not to accept calls made by means of this equipment.
Secondly, the IMEI shall directly or indirectly contain all information which is necessary for the network operator to make relations through its administrative system to trace the equipment to its origin of production. 3GPP TS 23.003 [2] describes the structure of the IMEI in detail

T-mobile can see every phone you use
Dabs is correct, every time that you make a call the network sees and logs the IMEI number on the phone. I work for T-mobile and when you pull up an account you can see every device that has ever been used on that account and the dates it was used.
T-mobile has traditionally not cared what kind of phone that you use, if you want to buy an unlocked smart phone and you can get internet access working on t-zones they don't care.
T-mobile knows that you are using a G1, the question is do they care. I can personally vouch for the fact that it will work on a blackberry data plan, I had my sim in one today and had full 3G service (averaging roughly 700kps over 3).
Regarding the sidekicks on t-mobile, the data plan is required (but can be removed) because of the way the sidekick stores data on the sidekick server. Sidekicks store the majority of their data on the server. The phone restores data off of the server after being turned off. If you do not have the sidekick data and remover the battery you lose all of the info, contacts, etc, except what is stored on the sim card.
I want to get rid of AT&T, but keep my captivate for wifi phone use if possible. I really need to get phone service through my wifi because reception where I live on any network is horrible. I know I could just get vonage, but if there is a "free" alternative, like google voice, id like some info. If you want to PM me that's cool. If I absolutely must keep a number active for google voice ill just switch to a cheaper carrier. I hear t-mobile will let people open data only service that links a phone number, and I know I can unlock the phone and use it on tmobile. Anyway if anyone has any input for keeping the phone but ditching carriers altogether please let me know.
...I will try to turn off my service and try google voice, linking it to my wife's phone number, and see if I can get it to work when I get home from Christmas shopping later...
Yup.. pay the million dollar fee to disconnect from AT&T before your contract is up - ***edit go to another carrier and they will unlock the phone to work on their carrier. You would need to request the unlock code from AT&T (I don't know if they would do it or if its really even needed.) then go to the other carrier.
And... depending on how long you've been on your contract I "think" its a minimum of $175.00 - but you will need to talk to your AT&T rep.
At least it isn't Verizon - with a crazy $600.00 early termination fee that my job had to pay for 3 phones!!
Other carriers don't unlock phones.
OP all carriers offer microcells that you put in your house to get cell service. Att has one. Google voice requires an existig number to forward calls to; your phone needs a number. If you only have wifi then why bother with a cell phone? If you can't get good cell then a data only plan wont help either.

Thanks. I sort of just needed to know if it was possible to have google voice with any number or if it had to be the cell I was using google voice on. I know I can pay to get out of contract. I also knew I could carrier unlock my phone. Thank you.
Hi, I still consider myself a noobie when it comes to Android, but i do have experience with other platforms, and (if i understand you correctly) CAN be accomplished. I have personally done this on an iphone,WinMo,and sort of on a Blackberry.
1.Wi-fi calling : By using Skype In/Out you can have a number that rings in and you call out. It will cost around $60.00 annually.
2. 3G calling requires a carrier for data and some hacking but it can be done.
P.M. Me if you need some help.
Google voice can be used with a cell or land line phone number. Haven't tried to use it strictly WiFi so I can't offer much there, but it does work with any existing number you have.
Google is offering free calls through 2011 through your browser. Not sure if this helps much, but...

I would think you can do this through a mobile browser as well provided you can get WiFi access
Hi,
I realize that some of these questions have been asked before but after some reading I've come to find that there have been recent developments not documented on the main info sources.
I want to get a Tmobile Tab to be used on Tmo as a phone. I currently have an Android data plan. Is tmobile still blocking voice tabs? And is possible to get both voice and 3G, yet? What are my options here?
What if I decided to use it solely for VOIP connectivity? Am I going to have issues here or has this been sorted out? This is a valid option for me. So if this is the best option out there please feel free to say so.
BUMP and update.
I bit the bullet and bought a tab. The build quality is incredible.
I got it off craigslist so it was already rooted. I put my phone's sim card in there and I get edge. Is there any way to get it to 3G? Tmobile sim in tmobile tab.
Naive question can I use an Verizon smart phone wifi only as a wifi tablet without a Verizon data/phone account for the device?
Found my initial answer on another site so follow on question it looks like the SIM card is required?
Yes. I still tinker with my Inspire this way.
Yeah, I'm Homeless. Scratch that, Revolting.
You can do almost anything you can without having the phone activated. I use my OG Droid from time to time. Just have to have a Google account on it and find apps to either call over wifi or txt over wifi. Depending on what you want to do.
Hey Guys,
I had a problem with Data on Straight Talk. On native AT&T coverage everything works great, but when I am on roaming (Not on AT&T but a partner network) I get calls and text but no data. Other people on AT&T get Data and my same Sim in a Captivate (CM 10.1) gets me data. So something is up with the phone, blocking roaming for AT&T. Any ideas. I have tried every kind of various APN to no avail. Looked at some other stuff like Roaming_Table_PLMN_Blacklist (In com.motorola.android.provider.settings) and other stuff try to figure this out. Has anybody else had something like this happen. I also tried unlocking. I haven't done any of the ROMS, for fear of bricking. Maybe some international person has had a similar issue, I don't know. Can't seem to find anything with search.

Straight Talk AT&T Sim
Thanks in advance.
I use my AHD on ST also, but never roam. I know they don't want you roaming at all, and they disconnect peoples service over it. If you're getting talk/text while roaming I would be happy with that.
In reality,i dont think you can roam on ST,at least i never could when i was with them a couple weeks ago,this happens to me on tmobile prepaid ,i can connect to att towers and make calls and text but cant get data,weird stuff

Not the Question
I know I can access data with ST SIM with my other phone, (Captivate CM 10.1) but not this phone (Atrix HD). Why? That is my question. Something on vanilla Mot AT&T devices is blocking me from getting Roaming Data. Straight talk DOES provide the service with many other users verifying we are on the AT&T postpaid network (Including all roaming partners for voice text & data). If I didn't have another phone that worked maybe I wouldn't care too.
Would ROMs help maybe, because that is about the only thing I haven't tried. If they are close to AOSP then maybe that is the solution. I'm just scared of bricking so I must have a detailed and verified procedure. I don't have SS3 installed yet. I may try this and report back, becuase I think Captivate Stock has the same problem.
I guess AT&T put something in that conflicts with the MVNO and nobody knows how to get around it. I'm hoping somebody does though, that's why I asked, because I don't know, and am out of ideas.
I'll report back once I try this, I guess AT&T put something in that conflicts with the MVNO and nobody knows how to get around it. I'm hoping somebody does though, that's why I asked, because I don't know, and am out of ideas.
I'll report back once I try this, I will figure it out (I hope). There has to be a solution.
ThanksI will figure it out (I hope). There has to be a solution.
Thanks
