  1. I see it sometimes on my Moto Photon Q. EVDO seems to come and go when connected to 1x800. Of course, that could just be the buggy radio in it.
  2. I think it has something to do with the test SIDs for 1x800 and the phone looking for EVDO. I remember Digiblur explaining it but I cant find it right now.
  3. If it is a primary drive (boot) and it is going bad, having it running can be making matters worse and your chances of data loss gets greater with each passing minute. I trust you have backed up what you want just in case? Is this a windows drive? what are you using, chkdsk? this can sometimes take a very long time (hours)..to the point where it looks like it is frozen but it really isnt.
  4. you can look at the drive itself. should say on the sticker what it is. SATA is 1.5 GB/s, SATA2 is 3 GB/s and SATA3 is 6.
  5. can someone confirm if the visual voicemail app that is found stock, or was found stock on so many past sprint devices, is on the N5? Way back, before i had VVM, I claimed i would never want it and then i got a Samsung Epic and then a Moto Photon Q and now I dont think i could accept a phone without it. Having all messages laid out is great. i dont really want to use GV or some other third party app as VVM always seemed very well integrated. Maybe being a multi carrier device it didnt make it on?
  6. i wonder how that will get approved with AT&Ts track record of spying and giving the government what it wants with no pushback what so ever. Foreign countries are not to happy with us right now.
  7. supposedly there is one of these floating here off the coast of maine. been in the local news quite a bit. even the contractors who were hired to build it have no idea for who they are doing the project for. lol
  8. they always throw this term "gateway" around. I really do wonder what sort of set up they have or is gateway just another way for them to say sprint? they have quite a bit of subscribers and the ones i see in the forums consume some serious traffic monthly.
  9. This may not make you and others that happy, but they aparently found an agreement to keep selling service: Dear xxxxx, We have been alerted by our gateway that we can continue your Unlimited or BYOD Plan. We sincerely apologize for the difficulty this issue presented. Our intent was to put you first and keep you informed if an interruption was forthcoming and we are relieved it has reached a satisfactory resolution. Because of this confusion we want to be certain we are moving forward according to your intent. You are still recorded as an active customer with your Millenicom Unlimited or BYOD Plan and will be charged on November 1st. If you wish to cancel your account with us please click the following link: »docs.google.com/forms/d/1XAOgEaI···viewform Again, thanks again for your patience and please accept our apology.

  10. What regional carrier do you think you roamed on? I was just playing with the *#*#INFO#*#* screen and i selected "LTE Only" and a strange message came up that never came up before (last time I played with this screen was several months ago). The error was "Selected network (US cellular) unavailable". This is on a Photon Q. I am not in a US cellular LTE area right now so I cant say if it would connect or not...nor do I know for sure if my phone could connect to US cellulars LTE bands to begin with. Still interesting this error is given now when it never used to.
  11. I would imagine they probably pay per GB or something similar. Maybe bandwidth at 95% and hope their users dont go hog wild. There biggest consumers are more than likely home users.
  12. if AT&T wants to get out of the TDM type services by 2020 why would they want to sign long term contracts anymore?
  13. i dont think i would even respond to emails like that if i had a craigs list posting locally. craigs list pushes dealing locally so much now. good luck.
  14. They got to use the LTE network as it went live...dunno about Wimax. They may have made their own plans as well. Give out unlimited and hope users didnt use that much but if they did, Millenicom was on the hook for the overages. Then again, maybe they did have unlimited accounts. Lots of people used this company and racked up a lot of usage.
  15. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r28748687-anyone-get-the-email-about-eliminating-plans- Notice went out sometime this past week. I am not sure what sort of arrangement they had with sprint. Seems they got the boot in the past but managed to get back on somehow. One poster claims it was through a middleman and claiming "educational" usage.
  16. that's cool. nice to see smaller operators playing together. would current phones work once they flip the roaming switch or does phone hardware need something else? For example, could by photon Q connect to USCC LTE? How is LTE roaming handled? Not PRL obviously...just some sort of authentication?
  17. You used to be able to find them on Ebay. I offered several years ago..maybe 5 years ago at this point. Sometimes it took a better part of the evening / night to find a rep who knew what to do and get it done. I'll never forget, not once but two separate occasions the rep conference called the receiving party of the plan in to set up the TOL and they had to go through the account set up process with them so they simply muted me but I could still hear everything. I heard all their details including their SSN. One rep even assured the other person I was on hold while they did these steps. Despite me saying No i wasnt i am right here. *sigh* If you know you will be doing a TOL and dont have an account yet, you are best calling on your own first to simply set up an account this will establish you then you can simply provide your account number during the process.
  18. i have done quite a few TOL in the past for SERO. Essentially it is just finding the right rep. Long live SERO!
  19. i like it, although i do like my Photon Q so that may make me a bit biased. Granted I cant remember the specs of the Photon Q off hand but does the specs of this phone seem a bit weak?
  20. isnt telenav going away anyways though? They moved everything to Scout which I like better.
  21. Yes, anything is possible. it is also possible it is a crate full of kittens, golf balls or even a crate full of crates.
