    How exactly do phone monthly payments work on T-Mobile?

    you trade back in your previous phone and the $30/mo will stop. when you get a new phone you get the eip amount of that phone, not the previous one. rinse and repeat. it has to be in good condition, else, there's a multiple tier deductible that's non-refundable. on top of that is $10/mo jump...

    Who is To Blame for giant phones?

    I'm never getting a phone with touchwiz ever again. both my S II and Note II noticeably slowed down significantly only after 1 year. too much bloat and I especially hate the wake up lag. urgh. my nexus 5 still works like it's brand new.

    Who is To Blame for giant phones?

    Well first off it's Samsung. it started with their experimental line Samsung Galaxy Note. everybody hated the idea at first then it started selling. pretty much after that every android manufacturer increased screen sizes gradually up to today's standard 5" screens. I myself didn't think I'd get...

    No contracts? Monthly payments til the phone is paid off? Sounds ok to me...

    t-mobile is excellent on huge cities. outside, not so much. also the refarmed towers for unlocked phones is not as good as their own 1700 network. if you got an hspa+42 t-mo phone on a hspa+42 area, at times you can beat at&t / verizon 4G LTE phones speed wise. Sent from my SGH-T889 using...

    AFAIK no carrier is deploying LTE advanced yet. AT&T and VZW are on release 8, Sprint is using Release 9 and T-Mobile is doing release 10 LTE advanced next year. AT&T is rumored to do release 10 too second half next year and I think I read an article about Verizon hitting capacity limits in 2013...

    Nova Prime

    Too much space between icons right? Also the uneven max space used by the icons and widgets gets in my nerves too. I was more than glad to buy the donate version of nova launcher lol. Sent from my SGH-T889

    I know. Touchwiz was horrible until the touchwiz nature ui for Android 4.0 up was released. They've pushed so much more features in it. Sent from my SGH-T889

    T-Mobile prepaid

    Follow what t-mobile says. Changing settings on your phone won't change your data usage from t-mobile. Even if you flash a new ROM or what. Also is your data cycle on your phone settings has the same date as your actual cycle? Most of the time data usage from stock Android is a bit short than...

    that looks great for at&t o.O sounds like they have HSPA+21 in your area. Not bad. :p Sent from my SGH-T889 using Android Central Forums

    Bad Coverage - What did I do wrong?

    AT&T is good if you're covered good with LTE. If not, you'll drop to their slower HSPA+ network. T-Mobile's best on large cities. Like say top 200 markets. That's where they shine the most. I live in one so I get pretty much a very good coverage inside and metro areas. And you know, if you're...
