AFIB app?
I hoped that by now they would have an app to monitor heart rhythm for AFIB and record the instances of its occurence. Since AFIB is mostly asymptomatic, one could not tell when and how often it occurs. Such an app would help a lot of people who don't want to wear a cumbersome monitoring strap around their torso.
Is there a good compromise here?
I am kinda' thorn about this issue because I see the truth in both positions. I wonder if Apple and other handset makers could modify their encryption system in the future in such a way that they would keep some one-time master keys in a database for each phone that could be made available at a court order. Once a master key is used, it would no longer work. In its place another one-time key could be used in ...
And the rest of carriers will follow
As they tend to do lately; imitating T-Mo at every turn just to keep their customers.
My old HTC Amaze 4G also has an FM radio chip and I use it without the SIM card in it. It's great to listen to FM simulcast of the Seattle Sounders soccer games when I am in a pub and the TV sound is off (as usual.) Because there is less delay on an FM broadcast than on TV, I usually hear the ...
Edge case
I wonder how they could design cases for this phone where the edges would still be exposed.
Re: Typo?
You're right. Sorry, I missed the "Plus" designation there.
Typo?
The announcement says:
"The 16GB unlocked iPhone 6 costs $649 and the 16GB unlocked iPhone 6 Plus costs $749. "
So just how much does the 16GB model costs?
Re: Really?
I think it was some ambulance chasing sheister lawyer looking for a big payday and talked a couple idiot iPhone users into filing this lawsuit in their behalf on a contingency fee basis. These lawyers are always looking for deep pockets to get their hands into and Apple has the deepest ones of all. The whole thing is ridiculous.
Re: XXX-LTE
XLTE, spelled az ex-LTE, a former LTE? I wonder how that will play with the public.
Re: Hahaha
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy! :lol:
Re: It appears
It appears that another group of parasitic ambulance chasing lawyers are trying to reach into some deep pockets and hope for a settlement. Settlement, because the law suit would have no chance with a jury.
T-Mo must be kidding
So why would anybody buy N5 from them instead of Google?
Re: Ridiculous
This phone makes it unnecessary to buy a tablet as well. Making phone calls with it would probably be best by the use of Bluetooth or wired ear bud instead of holding the phone to your ear. The specs are great though, except the battery capacity.
Re: There is no free lunch
You should now about ignorance if you have no clue what the prior commenter referred to. Here is a reminder:

There is no free lunch
Somebody has to finance this, right? So who, the taxpayers?
Re: Incredible!
It almost sounds too good to be true.
Re: Next Apple will Sue T-Mo and MPCS

I don't want to know more about her. I just want to see more of her. I like the tight leather suit she wears but honestly it just leaves too much to the imagination. A birthday suit would be better. Now that would attract some customers. Just my two cents.
Carly's pics are all over the net. What else do you need?

Re: Next Apple will Sue T-Mo and MPCS
I wonder if AT&T, with its considerable lobbying power is pushing all this from behind the scenes. I don't see what security concerns FBI might have here. Is MPCS owned by the Chinese gov?
Re: Just wow
These law suits on trivial patents are one of the reasons I'd never buy anything from Apple.
What do you expect from a California jury?
The result would be the opposite if it was tried in Korea.
Re: How do you know when you are using 1900 HSPA+ ?
Buying an iPhone just to find out? Really???
Re: How do you know when you are using 1900 HSPA+ ?
Then you can only blame yourself if you had no data on your account, yet would you turn on the data. What did you expect?
Re: How do you know when you are using 1900 HSPA+ ?
I would not *NEED* to know, but wouldn't that be nice to know if your phone can really work on that new 1900 band and how well compared to the old AWS? Otherwise how would I know if T-Mo really deployed it in my area or not?
Re: How do you know when you are using 1900 HSPA+ ?
I wonder if my phone also works the same way though the manual does not mention a H code: only 2G, 3G or 4G.
How do you know when you are using 1900 HSPA+ ?
Suppose you have an unlocked 4G Android phone that right now uses the AWS (1700/2100) bands for HSPA+ but it also has a 1900 MHz band. How would you know when your phone happened to pick up that 1900 Mhz band that T-Mo is testing? My Amaze 4G does not show what band it is using at the moment.
Any FTP service included in that 10 Gig allowance?
That would be nice.
Solved!
Following bd8371's example, today I called up T-Mo to unlock my phone and indeed, there was no need for faxing anything as they could tell from my record I was legit and now I am waiting for the email with the unlock code. Cool!
Re: Wow!!!!!!
Now that sounds a lot better without all that faxing BS. Thanks.
Re: Wow!!!!!!
That is silly. The phone has all kinds of identifying info (IMEI, IMSI #, etc.) that should be enough to ascertain by the carrier if a phone is stolen or not. Why should one keep a receipt for it forever? Luckily though, after some search I did find the original box that the phone came in and the receipt is in it. I hope that would be enough to take to a T-Mo store instead of faxing it somewhere ...
Re: Wow!!!!!!
To quote T-Mo:
If you paid full retail price for a device, you qualify to have the SIM subsidy unlock code provided if you meet the following requirements:
The device must have been purchased at a T-Mobile retail store or authorized T-Mobile retailer.
The device must be paid for completely. You must be able to fax the proof of purchase to T-Mobile.
------------
Now I bought my Amaze 4G in a T-Mo store without subsidy last November, on Black Friday, but I don't think ...
Re: Wow!!!!!!
I wonder what's T-Mo policy with off-contract T-Mo branded Android phones.
Re: Good for ya TMO!!!
Some of the newer 4G phones do have the 1900 band in them once the phone is unlocked.
Re: Good for ya TMO!!!
Now we just need to hear how T-MO plans to still serve the millions of its customers with recently bought 4G handsets. Not all of them are planning to get rid off them for a few more years.
Re: They did it without the US DOJ approval?
I know but still, it is a significant transaction that transferred ownership from one entity (a joined ownership) to another (Sony.) Just watch what EU would be doing in similar situation when American companies would be involved.
They did it without the US DOJ approval?
What's going on here? The Google-Motorola merger had to be approved by a bunch of foreign countries but I haven't read any such interference about this buyout.
A cross between a phone and a tablet?
Unless I missed it, I didn't see anything in the review that discussed how well this phone would act as a tablet. I wouldn't mind its odd size if I knew that having it could make me forgo a separate tablet purchase.
Why do two US companies need EU approval for merger?
I don't recall any instance of two EU companies needing US approval for their merger.
Re: E.U. ?
I don't recall that the US ever interjected itself into such issues when only EU companies were involved. I think it's high time for the US to stand up to those presumptuous EU regulators and show them the middle finger in such cases. If they then try to retaliate, we can play the same game with them, too. Unfortunately though, our politicians don't have the backbone to do that.
WCDMA bands
Phone scoop for this phone shows WCDMA bands 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 as for HTC's Amaze 4G. The T-Mo web site does not indicate the 850 and 1900 MHz bands which are AT&T bands. So I wonder where Phonescoop gets its info and what data bands are really in this phone.
WCDMA bands
Does this T-Mo phone really have the 850 and 1900 MHz WCDMA bands as the specs here indicate? I see different specs depending where I look, even on the T-Mo web sites. The following link, for instance even adds the 900 MHz band:
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2 614
On the other hand,the following link
http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/Phones/cel l-phone-detail.aspx?cell-phone=HTC-Amaze-4G-B lack
only shows the usual T-Mo UMTS bands I & IV. So what is it really?
Re: Ehrmz....
Those nuclear reactors in Japan failed because the tsunami flooded the cooling water pumps, not because nuclear power is inherently unsafe. All they need is to protect those pumps better against flooding. More people die in coal mine disasters producing fuel for coal power plants than people associated with nuclear power production.
