Re: Sprint reportedly confirms data throttling for 'top one percent'

If I'm paying for unlimited use with Sprint, I don't understand why I would get throttled and maybe get kicked and called an abuser. Shouldn't I be able to use to its fullest what I'm paying for?

You wont unless you are ROAMING on another carriers network and hogging
bandwidth.
Your only alloowed 300 megs of roaming data before your in violation of
your contract.

Again, this article was misleading as it was stated he was talking about
the people who were NOT on a Sprint Network.

A Yugo ROFLMAO. I've found that in order to send someone with iMessage a green text message, I had to go in to my settings and turn off iMessage. A pain in the butt. I hope someone has a better suggestion.

Or switch on Send As SMS.
But I hate it when I'm sending an international iMessage. I get charged without a warning.

I agree too. I have heard that the unlimited with AT&T isn't "true" unlimited. Do we know what the limit is?

"The world�s congested mobile airwaves are being divided in a lopsided manner, with 1 percent of consumers generating half of all traffic. The top 10 percent of users, meanwhile, are consuming 90 percent of wireless bandwidth."

Problem sending pictures to Verizon Droid Bionic?????

Posted by: "rkkeller8" thekellergroup@gmail.com   rkkeller8

Fri Jan 6, 2012 11:34 am (PST)



I have the iPhone 4S and the latest iOS and a friend has Verizon
and the Droid Bionic and everytime I try to send him a picture he
doesn't get it and gets a message to download it or something. He
was alittle vague when explaining it to me.

Any ideas?

I can send to other Android phone on other providers with no
problem, seems like either the Droid or Verizon.

Chances are he is using a third party SMS/MMS App and/or he has MMS auto
download turned off in the Messaging App - there are several things he can
check but I would start with asking which Messaging App he is using and
then inside the messaging app, touch menu then settings and make sure
"Auto-Retrieve" is enabled under "Multimedia Message (MMS) Settings" - this
can be turned on/off for both SMS and MMS to limit going over text and/or
data plan limits.

On a side note - I have the Bionic, granted I only used it for a few months
before getting the Galaxy Nexus - this phone was my worst tech purchase
that I didn't return in as long as I can remember. There are some really
great features to Android but between Motorola and Verizon there was so
much wrong with that device it was barely usable.

Photos sent as Messages

I receive a lot of photos of my family sent to me as a "message". Since I am not very familiar with the iTunes 4s, can anyone tell me how I can move these "messages" to the photos? Thanks for any help.

Just tap and hold the photo and a "Save" dialog will pop up allowing you to
save the photo to Camera Roll (Photos App).

Just look on the bottom left of the message. You should see an arrow coming out of a box. Click on it and hit save image.
