Is their any T-Mobile branding on that page?

Nope. But there is an upside down android in the upper left corner.

Think he's talking about data connection settings.

yea, I dont think its possible to change the AP settings, not unlesss if you're rooted.
I think everyone is on epc.tmobile.com.... If i remember correctly.
.... still would be interesting... but I have a question for the OP, why do you want to check if that AP works? is for a cheaper data plan, or perhaps a faster domain?

Worked with my 5.99 plan for about 5 hours then I got the upgrade message. Tried all other apns with the same result so I went ahead and upgraded to the $20 plan

I knew they were there but I didn't know you could change them.
You can try creating a new one using that address and just copy rest of the settings?
Id try it, but its too late to experiment. Off to bed.

It won't work sine it is a T-Mobile Branded android phone.
They have the IMEIs and will prompt you to upgrade.

Does anyone have a different experience than scrizz?
I did not know that TMobile actually enforced the IMEIs on the $10/mo plan. I know they don't for my n900.

I DOUBT if android has anything to do with it. I think they are enforcing the smartphone plan on T-Mobile phones....
I'm pretty sure if someone had a xperia x10 with AWS band they can probably walk away with paying the $10 data plan or any other UNLOCKED android phone for that matter.
hmm... that's something to think about next time I buy a phone.

If it's a T-mobile branded Android phone, IT WILL NOT WORK ON $10 web2go

I used to have the Nexus One before I got the G2. Before I had the Nexus One I was using a blackberry so i had the blackberry Internet and used to work with the nexus one and never had a problem with it. The G2 worked for a couple of hours and then it stopped working. It said that i had to upgrade my plan

Before I got my G2, I put unlimited web for phones on my wife's line at $10 per month. Then I got my G2 and gave her my rooted G1. She's had great 3G signal for a few days now without any upgrade messages.

Don't be a douchebag. I was merely saying that I had trouble believing they were checking imeis. Based on further testing, it seems you're right. They do appear to be.

No... T-Mobile restricts their branded smartphone devices to approved data features... It would work for a few hours and then you would get a message saying that you need to upgrade.

Hey thanks, I was wondering the same thing. But just to clarify how sure are you about this, 100%?, do you know this from personal experience or someone told you? Thanks
EDIT: Nvm, got home and did the research. You are right it will block you out. Thanks
Personal experience. The only phone you can do this with is the Nexus One.
Or hd2 running android but that's irrelevant

What phone plan you use with Ding?

I am currently a sprint zero user with touch pro2. Just got a htc Dinc from eBay and feel it is much better than tp2. I am seriously thinking about dumping zero and switch to using pageplus prepaid. But before I do this I d like to ask around what plan you guys use? Thanks.

Holy cow, still on Alltel plan?! VZW made me switch over less than 6 mos after they took over. I told them to take a hike once I saw they weren't changing prices.
We have the unlimited everything plan talk,text,data, but we pay mucho.
Probably won't but any more phones from Verizon for fear of losing our grandfather status. Read somewhere that we will get one round of device upgrades before we are forced onto a tiered plan. Can anyone confirm this?
Yo, I sent this!

I was just checking out their plans. They're good unless you want to use data, then they're pretty bad. With the amount of data I use, I couldn't use a plan from them.

[Q] Tzone (upsell message) on Tmo Galaxy Note 2

Unfortunately no, it happened to me too so I had to update my plan. If you want to use tzone with the note 2, you have to use it with the att or international note.

As an end user, thought that if tmobile can detect the "incomparable" plan. It must be in the rom or kernel.
Maybe someone with good knowledge can explain to the noob how this is done from tmobile end. Solution maybe possible?

Tmobile have all their phones imei number stored. If youre using their phone, they will know and make you upgrade the plan. If you use other carriers phone, tmobile cannot make up upgrade because they dont know what phone youre using.

that's why you either use chat function or, if you do call, stick the sim in a dummy phone.
the efs folder trick might still work (make backup first before doing anything)

haven't try this and not sure if it will work with note 2
so does the AT&T version with T-zones? Is it confirmed, do you get 3G speeds?
I should have read this before I bought my note 2...
is there a list anywhere that have phones that are compatible with tzones?

WiFi calling on T-Mobile

Has anyone found any information on if the T-Mobile version will come with the built-in WiFi calling feature. I know it has been added to the HTC one, wondering if the gs4 would get the same feature.

Yeah but know they skipped it with the nexus 4 so I didn't want to assume, but idk if someone had heard word about something I hadn't.
The only reason the nexus 4 didn't have it was because it's supposed to be pure Google without carrier interference I believe. The s4 should have it as it's a tmobile phone, not a Google phone sold by tmobile (if that's a good way to put it)
Yes, it has wifi calling. even says so on the website.

WiFi calling works on any plan, if the phone has it. I dunno about mobile hotspot, I tried to turn it on and got a "you have to have this service on your plan" message. I think it's a separate thing you have to pay for, which is all the more reason to root&install an app from the play store that does it.

Thanks for the info. Mobile hotspot is more important to me but it might be moot since I'm ordering an att S4 to unlock and work with my tmobile sim. If it doesn't I'll return it and get the tmobile S4.

Let me just say this. I am an UNLOCKED phone user. Always have been. BUT here is where I got tired of the BS with data speeds and such. SO I took the plunge to a TMO branded device with the proper bands in it now.
I suggest doing the same for everyone who is NOT international frequently. It is just a waste. I want the 64gb version, but without the proper bands? Not willing to do that to myself AGAIN.

[No Root] Remove T-Mobile hotspot upsell?

Anyone know how to? I don't really want to root, I just want to be able to take advantage of my unlimited data.

On the Note 3, the process was to just create another APN with fast.t-mobile.com and ipv4.
Not sure if its the same process with the M8 though.
I also used PDANet on the Note 3 for unlimited tether to my computer and other devices such as Xbox One and PS4 etc...
I will be looking into this more soon as mine gets delivered today.
Last time I took advantage of my unlimited data with tethering hack, I was doing about 90/130GB a month on TMobile.

I tried to do it earlier, but it wouldnt let me connect using the new APN. It would just revert to the default one. Anyone else try it?
This is the solution I came up with: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715450
The problem is that you won't be able to modify /system/customize/ACC/default.xml to change the APN that the built in tethering app uses without root.
Yeah your not doing it without root.
T-Mobile HTC One
This might be a silly question, but is there an unrooted M8 somewhere that would allow me to get around the tethering surcharge? Maybe the developer edition, GPE, or an unlocked device from another carrier?
Thanks!
Good luck with that.
