The Verizon lockdown

2012-07-09T17:39:00.001-04:00

So here we are once again... As you all know by now, Verizon has decided that their pristine network cant handle the few of us that like to flash ROMs, install CM and other custom ROMs, and generally use our phones in a manner in which we see fit after paying for the device.
After blaming Samsung earlier (how stupid considering the circumstances), they put out this clarifying statement:

Verizon Wireless has established a standard of excellence in customer experience with our branded devices and customer service. There is an expectation that if a customer has a question, they can call Verizon Wireless for answers that help them maximize their enjoyment and use of their wireless phone. Depending on the device, an open bootloader could prevent Verizon Wireless from providing the same level of customer experience and support because it would allow users to change the phone or otherwise modify the software and, potentially, negatively impact how the phone connects with the network. The addition of unapproved software could also negatively impact the wireless experience for other customers. It is always a delicate balance for any company to manage the technology choices we make for our branded devices and the requests of a few who may want a different device experience. We always review our technology choices to ensure that we provide the best solution for as many customers as possible.

This line of thinking is so screwed up its not even funny. You have a Nexus. Its unlocked. People all over have custom ROMs on their Nexus. Is your network failing because of it? How does this make sense? You have a Nexus, yet decide to lock down the SGS3?

Another silly bit of reading in this statement is the fact they claim that a boot loader unlock is at the request of a few... If that is the case, why bother locking it? Verizon has bought themselves a post on most major tech blogs, all the Android blogs, and this little insignificant one... And in ALL cases, the hundreds of comments, the vast majority of comments on twitter and Facebook, are about 99% negative. Is all this continuing negative press worth it?? Because it's not just "the few" that read those articles.

Every single carrier worldwide, including ATT, TMO, Sprint and US Cellular here in the US, have the SGS3 with an unlocked boot loader. All of them. Except Verizon because the tiny little 1% of us are going to damage their pristine network because we install a custom ROM on the device? Not only do you choose to lock down the SGS3 for "the few", but you also insult their intelligence by that statement. The above statement is aimed at the average consumer, not at the people who are complaining about the boot loaders.

Finally, by now, Verizon should now realize that Android devs are WAY smarter than Verizon techs will ever be (see the Motorola lockdowns). In spite of that stupid decision, the idiotic statement, and your stance, root was achieved in less than 24 hrs. How does that feel? You spent how much paying so call techs to come up with a locking solution, only to have it cracked in less than 24 hrs? And you have to realize that the bootloader will be cracked. And CM10 and custom ROMs WILL be flashed on that SGS3... By "the few" of us who enjoy that.

Just seems idiotic that I can buy a $700 phone, and when I get it, I can take it home, write on it. I can scratch it. I can throw it against the wall. I can void its warranty if I choose and tear it apart. I can even drop it on the floor and stomp on it with my feet if I wish. Why? Because its MINE... But I cant flash a custom ROM. And oh I can hear some of you now saying that "well, it's THEIR network". LOL Really? What if I want to use it on wifi only? How about if I just want to buy an SGS3, root it, flash CM10 and use it wifi only. No, I cant even do that.

Well, I can. From any other carrier in the world.

And I guess that is the answer. Verizon has proven to be a VERY unfriendly carrier for people who like to play with their phones. So dont be surprised when those people leave for other carriers. Dont try to be friendly and "address their concerns". You can't.

Unless you wish to make things right and provide an unlocking solution to "the few".

The Apple-Google battle goes on....

2012-04-20T20:43:00.000-04:00

So today, the article at www.todaysiphone.com titled "5 reasons why i'll never switch to Android" (Here is the link: Article ) came to my attention. I must say, this is the first time I feel compelled to write about any type of article about this subject. And it comes from the ridiculous nature of the article. Seriously, according to the article, how can anyone like Android? With its many handsets with different specs, lack of iTunes, and such?? Lets break this down...

#1. Upgrades.

This has been a major point for the apple fanboys. Apple announces a new version, and boom. Available for all handsets right away. The problem is that available doesnt mean its automagically on all handsets. Lets start by the fact that only until recently, have over the air updates become available for iOS. Something (like a lot of features) that has been available on Android since it came out several years ago with the G1.
So now we have 3GS, 4 and 4S handsets running a variety of versions of iOS... Some sets are even running 3.x. Does it matter that it's the consumer that is not upgrading? Or that it's the OEM not providing the upgrade? The end result is identical. Consumers running several different versions of an OS, able to do only certain things that other sets cant. Wait. Isnt that about 80% of the world? Can we say Windows? As I sit here, my desktop PC has Win7, and my work laptop has Win XP. And guess what? My desktop can run some apps that my work PC with XP can't... Imagine that... And yes, Microsoft makes the upgrade available to all sets. And yes, there are minimum requirements so that some older PCs will not be able to upgrade. The horror!!!!!

#2. Since before the G1, Google has stated that their business is ad revenue, and Android is just a way to get that into mobile. You mad bro? lol Google gives away all its services to the consumer and makes billions. Seems like a great business model to me.

#3. The ecosystem.

First line is about how when you buy something in iTunes on the Mac, it's automatically on the iPad and iPhone. Welcome to 2 years ago. That is just like what I do with the Play store. Whats the difference? Ahhh yes... If I buy a song, its automatically on my Nexus, my Galaxy Tab, and I can also access it from ANY PC, and yes even any Mac, from anywhere in the world. iOS users on the other hand, can only access it from your iOS devices. I am not here to debate the pros and cons of that. Just saying that this article is making this statement like I can't do this on Android. Books, movies, songs. Even apps. I can log in on ANY PC in the world, go to the play store on the web, and install any app on any of my devices remotely. Can I do that on iOS? Hmmm No. If I am not on my iOS device or my iTunes, I am out of luck. I travel overseas. You know how nice and convenient it is for me to go to the web, get an app, and when I land in the US, turn my phone on, it's automatically installed... It just works.
Now let's give an example of iOS. Yesterday I was playing with a new iPad, and I wanted to check out a HD movie. Bought Avatar. Guess what? "This movie can't be synced...." Oh yeah, I had to go get the cable and hook it up to iTunes to sync. What happened to iCloud? Wifi sync? Anything? Nope.
Not even going to get into the last paragraph there, since it's all personal preference. I could say the same about iTunes, since I am used to the Play store. I find iTunes cluttered and hard to find apps, but hey, personal preference right?

#4. No uniform experience.
I can't think of one point that is more useless than this one. Seriously? You want everything to be the same? How about we let Ford dictate how a car should be, or Toyota. You can only buy a Camry. Period. You cant customize it after you buy it either. They will all be white or black, and all options will be the same. You are only allowed to chose a few things like the radio stations you listen to. How about houses? You want to live in a neighborhood where all the houses look the same? How about your appliances? Your clothes?
People love choice. People love to choose their own style. Car, housing, clothes, TV, DVD, Blu Ray, which movie they like, type of music. Its called choice. Competition. Believe it or not, there are people who actually LOVE Blackberry. And Web OS. Some even buy Windows Phones. Choice. I love it.

#5. Specs.
All I have to say about this is that if specs don't matter, why does the 4S have more than the 4? Why not just work on the software? Isn't it magical enough? Why bother putting an LTE chip in the iPad?

Specs do matter. If they didn't, the next iPhone would be exactly like this one. Just with newer software. No new processor, no new screen, nothing.
Specs matter in all consumer products. Why 3D TV? Why Blu Ray? Why the fancy new washing machine?

Part of this argument from Apple and the one above about uniformity, is that Apple users don't think about other consumer stuff when they put forward this argument. Only about their iPhones and iPads. Its ok to have specs and choice in TVs and cars... Just not on my Apple product. Really?

Now here comes the disclaimer. I had a 2nd gen iPod, an iPod touch, and I bought an iPhone 4S when it came out. My wife wanted to try it. And yes, I also bought a new iPad. 64Gb white. My wife is using it and I have played with it extensively. The iPhone was a nightmare. It lasted 6 weeks, and even though my wife is not a techy person, she found out that her Thunderbolt was much easier to use, faster, and just better. The iPhone was sold 6 weeks later. She is now rocking a Galaxy Nexus.
She has tried different tablets, and now she is using an iPad 3rd gen. Yes its pretty. But, same limitations of the OS. Things that I can't understand how difficult it is to get around on iOS, and how easy we have it on Android.

I will be writing an article on the 10 reasons I will not buy an iOS device for me. Here is a teaser... Today at dinner, my wife was browsing the Youtube iPad app looking for a video. When she found it, I asked her "Are you going to share it on Facebook?" She looked up at me, and she realized the obvious. She said "I can't, can I?".

No, you can't. You hit the share button on the youtube app and you get Twitter and email. She said "I will do it from my phone".

Why can't things just work on iOS as easily as on Android?

An open letter to TMO executives

2011-01-11T14:41:00.002-05:00

Why?

Its a difficult question to answer. Most of the time. Usually, its because we all know the answer, but the person answering just doesn't know how to say it.
And I suspect that this is why TMO has not ever commented on the concerns of power users.

Or simply, T-Mobile just doesnt get it.

As most of you know, I am now 99% sure that I will leave TMO this year. Its a sad, and angry moment. Sad because I have been with TMO since the Voice Stream days. Its going on 10 years.
Angry because I am now forced to break that relationship, pay a lot more money, and switch my 5 lines of service to Verizon. And of course, other will follow...

Its been a long time coming. Those of you who follow on Twitter have seen the rants since last year about why TMO cant release a device that is 4.3", Android and in the super phone category.
It started around spring last year after the announcement of the EVO. Friends of mine pointed me to the upcoming release of the G2. I thought that this may be the redemption. A worthy successor to the original.
Turns out, I, and many others were wrong. The G2 was a huge disapointment. First with the specs, then with the lock down, non root mentality, which was worthless as it was rooted anyway.
Ahhh, but there is hope my friends said... There is the MT4G coming... Great! I thought... Maybe that one will be worthy... 4.3", super phone, worthy successor of the MT3G...
Again... Huge disappointment.
And then there is the Vibrant. Great phone, but still 4", and of course, saddled with the slow updates from Samsung.
Then there was CES... There is hope I thought.
And TMO released..... the Cliq2... Wow... Another mediocre, 3.8" phone.

For those of you reading this far, you must understand that this is written from the point of view of a power user. I have 5 lines, and most of my 10 yr TMO stay I have paid dearly for phones and service. It wasnt until TMO went with the EMP plans that I can say my plan is affordable. Just since the G1, I have purchased 10 Android smartphones, about 12 feature texting phones for my other lines, all at FULL price.
In that same period, most TMO users have purchased about 1 phone per line, under contract. This is the kind of user I am.

And sadly, TMO has finally convinced me that T-Mobile does not want, or care about users like me.

I have waited for over a year for TMO to convince me otherwise, while I watch other power users leave TMO for the same reason... My friend @breakthecycle2 being a good example. My twitter stream in the last few days is filled with about 50 lines of service that are fed up also and willing to leave in the next couple of months.

CES was the straw that broke the camels back. Even ATT announced 3 super phones, 4", 4.3", dual cores, even a 4.5" Samsung. VZW also went heavy, with Bionic, Thunderbolt, Revolution, and the i520. T-Mobile went with 4G speeds and the Cliq2. Im still laughing about that... The Cliq 2. Im sure its a great phone. But its a great phone for some soccer mom on a 2 yr contract. What about users like me?

Want to see what the reception of the Cliq2 has been? Go look at the forums on TMO. Lots of love there huh?

Half the problem is of course that I love TMO and the service that they provide for me at an affordable price. Maybe if I didnt care it would be easier... Just shut up and leave for another carrier.

So, dear T-Mobile... WHY?

Why cant you keep your "value", and "family", and "affordable", and yet give your power users one or 2 truly leading edge, high end, 4.3"+ devices?
Verizon seems to do it right the other way around. They seem to cater to the high end, while keeping an extensive line up of value, cheap android smartphones.
So why cant you do the opposite? Cater to the value, family line and still have a CHOICE for your power users?

I know the Optimus 2X is coming to TMO, but basically, here we go again, with another 4" device... Yes, dual core, etc, but really... Another 4" device. One. I have 4 to choose from on Verizon. All with WAY better specs...

People tell me to wait... Wait some more... Maybe TMO will have one...

I have been waiting since the EVO was announced. How much longer do I have to wait.

The wait is almost over.

But I would still like an answer.

Why?

Its based on the graphics off of the MT4G, but with some Vibrant mixed in. Why? They are both light blue based... that matches well with CM...
I have begun the process of updating the rest of the apps...

Also, as convenience grows, my laziness shows...LOL
This is NOT signed. So you MUST use Amon Ra 2.0 or Clockwork recovery to flash.

But hey, at least it gives you something to flash on top of RC2... ;-)

The tethering issue

2010-11-02T10:12:00.004-04:00

   I would like to think that I am a fair person. In my years on the TMO forums I have always advocated paying for services. And in real life, I have always said that I do not mind paying for things and services.

   But I MUST get value for my money.

   Value is subjective of course. What I see as value, others may see as foolish. A person definition of value is always different than others.

   Which brings me to the topic at hand. T-Mobile's new tethering plan.

   We all knew it was coming. For a long while, if you follow the mobile world and blogs, there has been speculation of changes in the TMO data plans, to include tethering and hotspot.

   Now that it has arrived officially, it is time to voice my concerns. Which are shared by many.

   First, let's talk about pricing and the data cap. Previously, TMO would cap their "unlimited" data at 10GB. If you went over that, they would slow you down to a crawl. While technically unlimited, it was all but unusable. Most people would pay about $30 a month for data. And those with Nexus Ones and rooted G1s and other phones would also have access to tethering and hotspot features with no extra charge.
   The balance was achieve because even though the data plan itself was competitively priced, there was no extra charge for overage, or for TH (what I will call the tethering/hotspot from now on).
   Enter Nov 2010. TMO has recently cut the cap on data to 5GB and now, they have introduced an extra charge of $15 for TH.

   Who in their right mind came up with that one, and did they even bother to get opinions from actual users???

   I understand the principle that heavy data usage needs to regulated and the heavy users need to pay more. But TMO's current implementation of this plan is seriously flawed.

   Take my account as a perfect example. Me and my wife are not heavy data users. We watch the occasional video, we don't stream movies, and basically, we probably don't get to 1GB of data use combined in 2 accounts in any given month. The problem? We have used the TH feature once or twice...

   So according to TMO, I now need to get TH added to my account and pay 15 extra a month because I MAY use TH occasionally. And yet, if there are 50 TMO users in my area, all streaming you tube videos, downloading movies on 3G, etc. they are all using FAR more data than me. Yet they are not required to pay any extra money.

   I am in NO way trying to get away with not paying for what I use. But before I do, TMO needs to re-evaluate this plan and make it fair. I am NOT going to pay extra to use a grand total of 1 GB of data a month on my account, when Joe Blow down the street uses 4 or 5GB (without TH) and pays less than me.

Second, let's talk about coverage. TMO is about to embark on a huge ad campaign to advertise the largest 4G network. I am glad. I fully support that and I myself brag about TMO speeds all the time. I am lucky I live in a "4G city".
   But this HSPA+ is spotty. VERY spotty. TMO is counting Tampa, SF, and others as 4G cities with millions of users covered. But in real life, it's not that way.
   I live in the city of Tampa, yet here in my neighborhood, all I get is around 2500 mbps (on a good day), and most of the time its the usual 800 mbps. If I go to the mall, I can get 3K, and at my son's baseball field I can get 5 or 6K. But if I travel 10 miles north of here... It is EDGE baby....Outside of the little confines of the Tampa Bay area, you are lucky to get Edge... And let's not even talk about heading out into the midwest... Nebraska, Iowa, etc... You want to pay $15 for tethering, with a 5GB cap, for GPRS???

   Conclusion? TMO has now lost the advantage. Completely. It used to be that TMO had that "you get what you pay for" advantage. Against Verizon, it was easy... You have to pay $50 at Verizon for data and TH. On TMO it was $25-$30 for data only, no charge for TH. But TMO's network has a lot less coverage. Give and take.
   But now? Here is where we stand: At TMO you now have to pay $45 for a data line with TH. And you get capped at 5GB. That is only now $5 less than Verizon. Except Verizon has NO CAP on data usage (reg 3G. They do cap TH), and ALL their network is 3G... Really? Only a $5 difference?

   Tethering and hotpost could have been a HUGE advantage to TMO... Combine that with your "4G" network and it could have been a hit.

But in my humble, personal opinion, you blew it T-Mobile.

Theme extravaganza......

My thoughts on the Vibrant.

2010-07-30T10:59:00.000-04:00

Okay, so I have had this Vibrant for a couple of weeks now. As you may know, I had a Nexus since the day it came out. I was not sure what that transition would be like, but I dove right in and got my Vibrant the day it came out also.
I have rooted my Vibrant, patiently awaiting the work of awesome devs in porting CM6 to it.
Now, my overall impression is that it has some great points, and some not so great ones. I would have to say that if I had to choose one phone between the Nexus One and the Vibrant, it would have to be the Nexus. Now, of course, all that depends on your own particular tastes and what you are willing to put up with and what you prioritize in a device.

Now, before I get started, keep in mind that this is not Engadget, BGR or one of the major blogs. This is not a review of every single aspect of this phone, and I am not a professional writer. This is just a gathering of thoughts, points, and general feelings about this phone, from an end user (that just happens to have his own forum to air this stuff...LOL)

THE GOOD

- Screen. By far the best point of this phone is the screen. Its amazing. Not just in clarity, brightness and overall 'wow' factor, but its also the perfect size. Avatar looks absolutely stunning on it. These screen shots do not do it justice, and you really have to see it for yourself. If I could have a Nexus with this screen, I would never give that up...LOL After a week or so with this phone, holding the Nexus makes it seem small.

- App storage. The other great point is 2Gb of app storage. Forget A2SD. Who needs it? You can download apps until you are blue in the face. The down side to the 16Gb of internal storage is that I already had a 16Gb SD card that my apps used to store data in folders. By default, the apps on the Vibrant store data on the internal 14Gb, so now I have double folders of everything... One in the internal and one on the external SD card. Just annoying...

- Touchwiz. This is a double edge sword. I am going to put this on the good and the bad. As you can see from the screen above, I am using ADW, and I will go in to the why on the bad points of TW. Now, the good side of TW is that its like a theme already installed. Its not as intrusive or horrible as the Behold 2. Here is a screen shot of the dialer. Although the TW coloring and theme is well done in my opinion, it does have a few graphical glitches that I dont like, such as the yellow message notifications...

THE BAD

- GPS/Compass. There is a lot going around about the GPS and Samsung has apparently acknowledged the issue and is working on it. I personally have not had too much trouble, other than the fact that it appears to be a little slower in acquiring a location compared to my Nexus.

- Touchwiz. This is my major complaint about this phone. Touchwiz apparently is affecting performance a LOT. The phone is laggy. Hummingbird or not, I think there are some issues with TW. I cant tell you how many times a day I hit the back, or home buttons, and have to wait 2 or 3 seconds to register. Hard to tell if you didn't press it or its just not responding. Same thing with screen buttons. Sometimes I end up pressing the back button 2 or 3 times, then the phone reacts and goes back 3 screens all at once, instead of the one I wanted. To me, at this stage of the game and with so many alternatives out there, it's a MAJOR fail on the part of Samsung. I am sure that 2.2 and other bug fixes will improve this issue. But it already has a 1 Ghz CPU... Should NOT be that way at all. I am now using ADW, and although the lagginess is still there, its a bit better. I suspect that if TW was not intruding in the OS so much, we could get rid of the non-responsiveness for good.

FINAL THOUGHTS

There is no question that this phone is by far the best phone T-Mobile has for sale at the moment. And there is a lot of debate in the forums between the people who love this phone and those that don't. I would have to say that if you are coming from a G1, of course you will think that this is the greatest thing since sliced bread. If you are a techy and have played with other phones like EVO or Droid X, or have owned a Nexus for a while, you will probably agree with me that although this is a good phone, it's not a 10.

It has a few other shortcomings. No notification LED, no trackball or trackpad, when I receive a call, the sound is muffled for 2 seconds, then it goes to full volume, and others. But it also has some nice touches, such as the controls at the top of the notification panel (see screen shot).

I can't wait for Wes and the other devs to port CM6 to the Vibrant. A good dose of stock Android with JIT and a newer kernel will be good for this phone. And I really hope that for those that are not, or will not root their phones, that Samsung hurries with the 2.2 update, and fix the laggy, annoying issues with TW.
