FCC approves T-Mobile and AT&T spectrum transfer

FCC approves T-Mobile and AT&T spectrum transfer

Posted on Apr 26, 2012 by MG3

Filed in: T-MobileAT&T

The FCC has finally approved the spectrum transfer that was part of a $4 billion breakup fee that AT&T promised to T-Mobile if the companies failed to merge. Following AT&T's decision to call off the acquisition in December of last year, the two companies applied in Janurary to the FCC to get the green light for the spectrum transfer. The spectrum, which is estimated to be worth $1 billion, is in the AWS band and it covers 128 cellular market areas. Be sure to check this map to see where AT&T is losing some of its spectrum. While T-Mobile currently relies upon its AWS spectrum for its 3G network, it plans to use the additional capacity gained by the breakup fee to help it play catch-up and l...

T-Mobile ICS updates lost on Samsung

T-Mobile ICS updates lost on Samsung

Posted on Apr 25, 2012 by MG3

It seems that everyone with a Samsung phone or tablet will be getting an upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich soon, with some limits, except for basically the entirety of T-Mobile. Sad as it may seem, Samsung’s big list of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich upgrades today appears very much to have been relegated to everyone except for T-Mobile. T-Mobile Samsung devices that otherwise might have been upgradable at the moment include the Exhibit II 4G, Galaxy S Blaze 4G, and the Galaxy S II in white and titanium, each of these being suspiciously absent from the updates list.

Purported Samsung Galaxy Note for T-Mobile images surface

Purported Samsung Galaxy Note for T-Mobile images surface

Posted on Apr 25, 2012 by MG3

Samsung's Galaxy Note is currently exclusive to AT&T in the United States, but T-Mobile users that would like to use the device on their network of choice may not have to end up resorting to software hacks after all. TmoNews has a series of photos of what appears to be a branded T-Mobile version of the 5.3-inch device. A look inside the battery compartment reveals a model number of SGH-T879, with the phone also reporting that it is running version 4.0.3 of Android. Several carrier-specific apps are also pictured on the homescreen, including T-Mobile Mail, T-Mobile TV, and My T-Mobile. Of course, these should be taken with a grain of salt until the device becomes official, but it appears that...

Samsung releases list of U.S. smartphones, tablets to get Android 4.0 ICS upgrades

Samsung releases list of U.S. smartphones, tablets to get Android 4.0 ICS upgrades

Posted on Apr 24, 2012 by MG3

Samsung has posted a list of the smartphones and tablets available in the U.S. that it plans to upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich at some point this year. Most of the phones on the list have already been promised upgrades to Android 4.0 by their carriers, but it never hurts to have further confirmation from the manufacturer. Still missing from the upgrade list? Any variant of the original Galaxy S, though, that's not entirely unexpected.

T-Mobile G2X finally gets the bug-squashing update it needed a year ago

T-Mobile G2X finally gets the bug-squashing update it needed a year ago

Posted on Apr 24, 2012 by MG3

Once upon a time, the T-Mobile G2X had promise that no other Android phone had. The US variant of the world’s first dual-core phone was met with a lot of praise, which turned into a mess. The stupid powerful handset suffered from handfuls of bugs, which resulted in it being pulled from shelves, only to return with minimal improvements. Well, it looks like the handset may finally be receiving the update it needed out of the gate – literally over a year since its release.

Screenshots confirm speculation about T-Mobile version of Samsung GALAXY Note

Screenshots confirm speculation about T-Mobile version of Samsung GALAXY Note

Posted on Apr 23, 2012 by MG3

Saturday, we showed you User Agent Profile information that hinted at a T-Mobile version of the Samsung GALAXY Note. Now, TmoNews has obtained a number of screenshots showing off what appears to be a T-Mobile variant of the Samsung GALAXY Note. The model number is SGH-T879 and the build number of IML74K.144 matches the build number of the AT&T version of the phablet. This makes sense since both models were built at the same time and are true brothers.

Nokia Windows Phone 8 handsets showing up on T-Mobile, Verizon

Nokia Windows Phone 8 handsets showing up on T-Mobile, Verizon

Posted on Apr 23, 2012 by MG3

Moving away from the hubbub about Windows Phone 8 upgrades, we now also have increasing evidence of actual new Windows Phone 8 hardware being tested in the wild.
The latest is via DSLReport’s mobile speed test, which shows the user agent of two Windows Phone 8 handsets, one named Qualcomm Fluid and the other Nokia Fluid. Both of course have been spotted before, but now the full user agent confirms that these are Windows Phone 8 handsets running IE10.
The Verizon handset also seems pretty snappy, likely indicating LTE on board. The same can unfortunately not be said for the T-Mobile speed test.

FCC fines T-Mobile $819,000 over accessibility issues

FCC fines T-Mobile $819,000 over accessibility issues

Posted on Apr 18, 2012 by MG1

Filed in: T-Mobile

The Federal Communications Commission on Monday determined that T-Mobile must pay a fine of $819,000 for “willfully and repeatedly” failing to comply with rules regarding hearing-aid compatible handsets. According to the FCC, the carrier violated the rules during 2009 and 2010. The Hearing Aid Compatibility Order requires each carrier to have at least 10 handsets, or 50% of all devices, that support acoustic coupling and 7 phones, or 33% of all devices, with inductive coupling. T-Mobile may reduce or negate the proposed fine by proving to the FCC that it did not violate the rule, or that it didn’t violate it as severely as the FCC alleges.

HTC One S to launch via T-Mobile on April 25th according to training slides

HTC One S to launch via T-Mobile on April 25th according to training slides

Posted on Apr 10, 2012 by MG1

Carriers just don't throw a device on the floor and say to the reps, "go sell it." There is training involved as the reps learn all they can about a specific device. Apparently, T-Mobile reps have just through a presentation on the HTC One S and leaked shots of some of the slides used in the training session show that the nation's third largest carrier will be launching the device on April 25th. This dovetails with earlier reports that the phone would be launching late this month.

HTC One X and One S come to Orange, T-Mobile on Thursday

HTC One X and One S come to Orange, T-Mobile on Thursday

Posted on Apr 04, 2012 by MG3

If you've already decided whether you're Team One X or Team One S, and live in the UK, then get ready to flex the plastic on Thursday. Both T-Mobile and Orange have announced that's the day you can pick one up in store and online (and even over the phone if that's how you roll.) Both networks are offering the One X for free if you don't mind paying £41 a month, or you can scoop up the One S for a slightly more reasonable £36 -- if you're okay with the smaller screen estate and number-of-core bragging rights.
