Man oh man oh man. It is not like we all haven’t dealt with carriers throttling our data, lowering our amounts and killing tethering in the past. It has been one of those continuous debates and conflicts that has plagued Android and carriers for year. One one side you have people like myself, who believe [...]
T-Mobile hasn’t been actively monitoring users who use their phone to tether for free, but thanks to Android 4.0 ICS upgrades coming, they will be. The carrier has had their hotspot service in place for over a year now, yet because of limitations with previous versions of Android, they haven’t been monitoring that kind of [...]
when I worked at T-Mobile, my favorite thing to do was read device user manuals before the device launched. It helped me to know a lot about a device and I could even memorize certain pages to direct customers too. Of course this was back in the G1 and myTouch 3G days and there wasn’t [...]
I know many of you are constantly on the hunt for update information your current device. We all want to know if and when Ice Cream Sandwich will be hitting our devices. It seems Samsung is doing everything they can to make those updates happen on a wide variety of carriers. They work closely with [...]
It looks like T-Mobile and Samsung have finally come to terms regarding the update plans for a few of their popular devices. While we’ve heard similar reports from most carriers T-Mobile’s been mum on details until now. Today we’ve confirmed Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich will be coming to a slew of Samsung devices from [...]
Remember the Ice Cream Sandwich update for the HTC Sensation 4G that we told you about yesterday? Turns out that it does more than just bring ICS – it also kills free tethering. Wait, what? T-Mobile had free tethering? Technically, no. But in reality, yes. Here’s how it used to work: T-Mobile offered a tethering [...]
Samsung’s finally added the initial list of devices that will receive the upgrade to Android 4.0 on T-Mobile. The Samsung Galaxy S II was an obvious shoe-in, and the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G makes a surprise appearance on this list. We’ve also got a couple of tablets in the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus [...]
Last week’s announcement of Verizon’s DROID Incredible 4G LTE brought speculation of pricing and possible release date among the Android community. We can’t put to rest all the rumors floating around but according to a Verizon document the DROID Inc 4G LTE will indeed be sold with a $50 mail-in rebate as part of the deal. I [...]
It appears that the hottest, most highly anticipated smartphone ever has just been spotted having a rendez-vous with officials at the FCC. From the paperwork, it seems to be the same version of the Galaxy S III that was announced in London, ready to rock some HSPA+. There is also a mention of a 2,100 [...]
When Samsung announced its official roadmap for US Android upgrades, T-Mobile customers were left in the dark: Samsung said it was “in close communication” with the carrier and would be providing more details soon. Those details have now been released, confirming four devices that will be getting Android 4.0: the Galaxy S II, Galaxy S [...]
The wait is almost over for HTC Sensation 4G owners on T-Mobile. The carrier has confirmed that Ice Cream Sandwich and HTC Sense 3.6 will be pushed to the Sensation 4G starting on May 16. A previous report suggested the update would not arrive until June. It appears as if the HTC Amaze 4G will [...]
It looks like the Samsung Galaxy S3 is just another step closer to making its way to North America. This device supports AT&T’s HSPA+ radios, but will not work on T-Mobile’s as those users would likely be stuck on Edge. Couple in in the fact that LTE is absent and we’d say this one is [...]
Huawei’s Ascend D1 dual-core smartphone, announced at this year’s Mobile World Congress in February along with its two Ascend D Quad siblings, is the first of the three to pass through the FCC. The documentation confirmed quadband GSM and pentaband HSPA+/WCDMA. This means the unlocked version should work on AT&T and T-Mobile, but as to [...]

Devices are already in the hands of testers and, as you’d imagine, those eager souls have begun uploading photos from the device’s camera to the internet. PocketNow procured the shots [...]
Hmm, this new user agent leak sure does make a person think a little. Recently we saw a user agent that showed a model number of T999. Keeping in the spirit of the Galaxy S naming configuration, we expect that to be the Galaxy S III. However, this could in fact be it as well. [...]
T-Mobile may soon be set to introduce a monster of a phone. One Samsung T699 has popped up in a user agent profile. While these don’t tend to give us much information, we can usually count on them to drop one or two nuggets. This particular phone will apparently come equipped with a 720p display, [...]
There comes a point in every devices life that you it just doesn’t cut it anymore. The time where you are finally able to upgrade either because your contract is ending, or just because you have some cash. Once you pick up that shiny new device though, your old one either sits and stares at [...]
That’s right folks you read the title right. You can check out pictures from all four U.S. S III variant devices. This shows proof that AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint are expecting to carry the device. While Verizon chose to skip out on the Galaxy S II they are not making that same mistake with [...]
It has sure been a roller coaster ride for hose of you that have been waiting for ICS. Not just for the HTC Sensation and Amaze, but for pretty much every device in the US. It is always irritating and frustrating when you see your phone being updated all over the globe long before we [...]
One of the things I love about T-Mobile is that if you’re interested in purchasing a new smartphone on the network but want to get it for a great deal you never have to wait too long for T-Mo to break out a buy one get one deal. Between May 18th and May 26th you [...]
If you’re looking to pick up a phone on T-Mobile, you might want to wait till next weekend.

The devices mentioned are the myTouch, myTouch Q, HTC Amaze 4G, Galaxy S II, [...]
Samsung finally announced what could be the most anticipated smartphone of the year, the Samsung Galaxy S3 (Check out our hands-on first impressions). Some love it, some not so much, but we are sure that it will probably be one of the top-selling devices of the year. And if you live in the US and [...]

The HTC Evo 4G is perhaps Sprint’s most important phone ever. When it was released in 2010, it was Sprint’s best phone by a long shot, and one of only a few truly great Android devices. Two years later, Sprint’s in dire need of another winner, and it’s searching far and wide: the company paid [...]
Remember the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket HD that AT&T announced at CES early this year? Well, if you were waiting for it, don’t hold your breath. According to Samsung’s Ryan Bidan, plans for releasing this LTE device have been scrapped. Bidan told The Verge that it didn’t make sense to release the 720p version of [...]
The first time we heard about the SGH-T999 was back in January. We then thought that T-Mobile was prepping a Galaxy Nexus release and we were wrong. Thanks to a hands-on video from Android Police and the good eye of a certain David Beren, we noticed that, around the 5:53 minute mark, there is a device [...]
US carrier T-Mobile is in the airwaves today after announcing that they plan on adding HSPA+ bands internationally this year. One of the downsides of traveling overseas is that often times you won’t have the same reception and speed as you do in the states. The company is planning on helping change that this year [...]
When Carly first came to us with her squeaky clean image and perky attitude, I did not really care so much. Yeah she is cute, but I do not need this to let me know about the awesome carrier I have been using for 7 years is. But now that the HTC One S has [...]
In a conversation with Samsung’s Ryan Bidan today, we learned that the company’s Galaxy S II Skyrocket HD, announced at CES earlier this year, has been shelved. He explains that it simply didn’t make sense in light of the Galaxy S III announcement, leaving the product “orphaned” in AT&T’s lineup – it’s hard to justify [...]
A lot of Google’s secrets about Android have come to the light in their recent legal battle with Oracle over the use of Java patents. One of the more interesting nuggets that we have learned was the existence of the never released device called the Sooner. Officially it is the HTC EXCA 300, a Blackberry-esque device that was [...]
When I saw that CTIA had booked the 4 CEOs from the top 4 U.S. carriers to get on stage and banter about the industry, I immediately penciled it into my schedule. They ran a similar keynote last year, but with the AT&T and T-Mobile merger still up in the air at the point, it [...]
