    Buying new phone before ETF?

    I currently have a 5 line plan that I am considering getting rid of. I have one line that is still under contract and am looking at a $250 ETF. I am a bit hazy on the ETF fees... are they per line, or for the entire plan? The reason for my question is that I am considering buying one more phone...

    switching back and fourth between VZW and T-Mobile?

    I am a long time Verizon customer, but have been growing more and more unhappy with their customer service and their ridiculous prices for quite some time now. Recently I have been entertaining the idea of jumping ship and going to T-Mobile, but I don't want to jump blindly... 3 of my 5 phone...

    Razr M / Galaxy Nexus - stupid question RE screens

    Probably one of the dumbest questions of all time, but here goes. I am looking to pick up a used phone for my wife (off contract), and she has fallen in love with the way the AMOLED screen looks on my Moto X because she reads on her phone, and on mine the black background is simply black...

    Activating smartphone on existing dumbphone line... data plan question

    I currently have a 5-line Family shared plan that has 3 phones with Grandfathered unlimited data. I have been thinking for a while now about taking a smartphone that was left over from a previous upgrade and activating it on one of the lines that currently has a dumbphone. The last time I...

    4G LTE everywhere but my house

    I still get 3g at my house... no 4G at all. But if I drive 1 mile in any direction... ANY direction, I am in a 5 bar 4G service area. :mad:

    Root DasBamf 2.0.1 - No signal?

    I haven't been sleeping much lately, so I'm sure it will end up being something incredibly stupid that I should've been able to figure out on my own... But anyway... I tried installing DasBamf 2.0.1 this morning and I have no signal with it. The thread about this ROM stated that a Gingerbread...

    Thunderbolt... No tether?

    I was poking around the vzw website tonight to see about plans and things when I upgrade from the droid X to the htc Thunderbolt, and I noticed my plan dropped $20 a month in price, so I started snooping around... I found out that my tethering was listed as "we had to remove this because it is...

    Root Which tether app works best with gb? (Legally tethering)

    NOTE: I am paying the $20/month for unlimited tethering, so those who clicked the link just to lecture me on the morals and legalities of tethering, your job here is finished. ok? Thanks. There are already enough threads around here which discuss that. Now... I absolutely despise the 3g...

    Root HD Videos being corrupted

    I have an issue with any videos I shoot in HD format being corrupted if the video is longer than about 20 seconds. This has happened with me on the first GB leak as well as Liberty 1.5, Rubix Blurry, and SSX. On the stock 2.2 rooted ROM, there were no issues. Is anyone else experiencing...

    I don't know if anyone else has poked around the framework-res.apk for gingerbread yet, but I just noticed the battery icon is in 5% increments. Pretty sweet.

    Root Themers - Anyone know how to hide the statusbar clock

    For the sake of keeping this from going the way every other thread I've seen on the subject always goes: Yes, I am fully aware that adw launcher and launcher pro give you the option of hiding your whole statusbar. No, that is not what I am after, nor is that what this post is about. This is a...

    better keyboard + Handcent - No T9?

    I don't know what the deal is here... I am either missing something, or something is broken. I am hoping the former. I cannot figure out how to get the T9 Keyboard (Better keyboard) in handcent. I have gone into options and unticked the compact qwerty and ticked the T9 keyboard, but it still...

    Root I spy with my little eye... a new camera app?

    For those of you who haven't already seen this elsewhere... The Milestone apparently is toting a very nice little camera app. Many people are discussing the possibility of porting it, so I don't know about you, but my eyes are glued to the forums. :) YouTube - Motorola_Milestone_overview.wmv

    3D picture from only one 2D (Standard) picture

    I am picturing something like what I saw on G4 a year or so ago... a program that takes multiple pictures and creates a 3d map based on them in which you can walk around inside the map. I REALLY wish I still had the bookmark for that page. Anyway... is that the same as what you are talking...

    App similar to Titanium Backup for root?

    I currently use Titanium Backup, but it is growing tiring to have to sit there and man the phone while I am restoring apps, so now I am looking for another app that will restore apps and data without having to choose each app individually. I know most people will say "Just buy the donate...

    Transfering paid apps to a new google account?

    Sparing the dirty details... Something happened that should've never happened and now I have to make a new google account and try to rebuild everything. gmail, igoogle, voice, etc. I did some poking around, but it seems no one has ever asked about any way of transferring paid apps from one...

    HDR Camera script (devs?)

    Snipped this from another forum. Any devs floating around here that are up to the challenge? With the mediocre (at best) camera quality of a lot of android based phones, I am surprised something like this isn't already available.

    Share your funny off the wall text spell-correct fails. I'll go first... a friend of mine sent me a text the other day trying to find out if I wanted to play call of duty with him when I got home from work. The text should've read "Wanna play? I got hella better." What I received...

    Battery Life

    I've seen quite a few posts with people asking what to expect from battery life. The responses were typical... "I get __ hours and I only run this and that and such and such for so long..." but no one has posted anything yet that gives others a baseline to run with. ... until now. I left...

    Root Assassin's Creed

    This is a work in progress... I am horrible at graphics, and transparencies are brand new ground for me. Just wanted to show off a bit of what I have so far. People who play the game probably already have a good sense of what the icons represent. Have no fear, I'll talk you through it just in...

    Root Post your ROM/Mflops

    With everyone using so many different variations of ROM/Kernal/Clock/etc around here, I thought it would be nice for the curious bystanders if we all weighed in. You can find out your mflops by downloading linpack. It is free in Market. ROM: Kernal: Clock: JIT Y/N: CPU Temp: Mflops: Ill...

    Conspiracy Theory

    Here is how the game works... Make up a conspiracy. (Not something you've heard somewhere.) It has to be possible, even if it is unlikely. My conspiracy: The government is behind Google Buzz/ Facebook. Here's why: For many years, people have believed that "big brother is watching"...
