OMG!!!!!!!!!
I thought that this game was over with Evo 3D.
Thanks for the heads up!

confirmed it is running on ATT.

It does not seem to be on VZW model.
2 people have confirmed it is not installed on the VS980

It can be removed, right?

I checked my Verizon G2 with three different Carrier IQ detectors and none of the three found it.
I'm surprised that AT&T would revive this PR nightmare... hope it blows up in their face.

Yeah. To an extent. Depends how burried it is.
The Evo 3D even had it in the Calculator if I remember correctly.

IM shocked too! I guess the need to sell your personal info so they can get the new LTE network paid for.

Oh my god, are you KIDDING ME? LOL...
Looks like T-Mobile has it and is PROUD OF IT on their LG G2 release:

No way! Is Verizon actually the good guy for once?

Does the T-Mobile version support micro-SD? Says they support up to 32gb!?

Sigh. I thought we were passed this. I'm having a hard time caring though this time around. Not sure why.
If I were to guess, LG doesn't have the market share muscle to say no and AT&T insisted on installing it.

ATT comes standard 32gb, probably on T-Mobile too. No SD support on USA phone models from what i've read. Maybe T-Mobile offers a 16gb and 32gb model for some reason? Thought it ONLY came in 32gb?

Just remove these two files: found in /system/lib libiq_client.so and libiq_service.so
You need to be rooted one you remove these you can confirm whether the service is dining by downloading an iq checker in the play store. Remember it's the carriers not lg that included this.
Upon further testing phone FCS during a call if u remove these files...so will have to figure out whatelse needs to be done.
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk 4

On T-Mobile, at least for the One and S4, it asks whether you want to opt-in for Carrier IQ. I really don't see this as a huge deal but I mean I'm not against removing it either though.

T-Mobile G2 on AT&T?

I've been looking for a successor to the Nexus One, and this seems to be it. I just have a simple question, would this work on AT&T? I know I would have to unlock it and it would only be on EDGE, but can I do that?
I'm sure there's a way to unlock it, but it seems pretty pointless to use it on AT&T. I think the real delight to the phone is the fact that it utilizes T-Mobile's new HSPA+ network.
you can unlock it but its useless since you won't be able to get 3G or HSPA+. wrong bands. Just go get a Captivate.
Aww, but it's so pretty. </3
I read yesterday that an AT&T version of the G2 just passed through the FCC.

i only tried it for a little while because i actually have tmobile but i unlocked just for the hell of it. but its really not THAT bad just like how most of the people with tmobile on iphones. but of course compared to the speed that this phone is capable of after HSPA+ is COMPLETELY up and running theres no sense in using it on at&t LOL

A senior moderator on XDA should merge "HTC Vision"/ "HTC Desire Z" and "Tmobile G2" into 1 category. What makes it more confusing is that originally the G2 is referred to the HTC hero.... lol
OP wait for Bell Canada to get the Desire Z and get one of those.

This could be the result from what they've learn from the previous SGS I nightmare when it comes to update all the variants
just wondering, and going off topic, which Galaxy S Variant besides the I9000, i mean like in the USA
would be the best there is?
Vibrant
Captivate
and the others i can't remember names right now...
which one would be the best? I think Samsung may go into THAT carrier with the original phone, maybe, just maybe.
I really do hope its left untouched. Updates will come quicker since it was the variants of the original galaxy s that were getting slow updates cause of the carriers.

I'd prefer universal band HSPA+ support so that it will be compatible when we're all migrated to AT&T next year or so.

Well, the Vibrant sold the most out of all the variants in the US (over 1 million) and the Vibrant was also the closest to the i9000 in terms of appearances and internals.
Hopes its real cuz my vibrant is screwed an i am looking for phone an this is top on list
nice
Looks like a nice phone.
Really wish T-Mo would rethink this whole ATT merger thing...they could easily rise as the 3rd/2nd biggest US Carrier behind Verizon seeing all these phones that are going to/could be released for T-Mo.
Vibrant hands down. T Mobile removed the least amount of functions from stocl os and did not put to much bloatware in there. My wige has captivate and its junk compared to my vibrant

Considering Verizon the last 10 years has not had the most impressive phones... In any capacity.... The last 3-4 years excluded. And they were still Number 1 by a wide margin.

Sprint Within

Samsung Galaxy S II US carrier names revealed: AT&T Attain, Verizon Function, and Sprint Within.

Names aside, the significant old news -- albeit speculatively based upon this one web page from the aftermarket manufacturer/vendor of the gel case -- is that the Sprint "Within" apparently has no keyboard.

Looks like everyone but the U.S. is getting the Samsung Galaxy S II one way or the other and it seems like future owners have been waiting an eternity to get one. Hopefully Sprint will launch its version of the phone in a matter of weeks as what is believed to be called the Galaxy Within has been allegedly pictured above.
As you can see in the comparison shot we've put together below, the basic lines and what appear to be specifications are quite the same. Give or take a couple of details, you still have your eight-megapixel at the back but this time above the flash --which also seems larger -- instead of its left.
The Sprint logo should clear any doubts of the destination for the Within and the side buttons/rockers seem to match. With its 1.2GHz Exynos CPU coupled with 1GB of RAM, 4.3-inch Super AMOLEDPlus screen and a two-megapixel front facing camera, the Galaxy Within would be the EVO 3D's strongest competitor on Sprint. For all of you out there waiting, it should be coming soon -- late July according to rumors -- and with Android 2.3.4 at that!
Sprint within sounds corny... now..

Speculation: T-Mobile to launch QWERTY equipped G3 in early Q3

If they do, it won't be from HTC, as HTC a while back said they were done with qwerty phones.
I think they said they're 'moving away' but not necessarily 100% done

Moving away does not equal "We will never make one again". Besides, releasing one keyboard model for a single carrier is not exactly a crazy notion.

Especially if you consider how many G2 users might actually renew their 2-year contract for a free upgrade to a G3. (most of my family has already done this with their own phones, and I'm eligible to upgrade as well from my G2... if there was a comparable phone for it...)
IF this happens I hope they follow suit and also release it in Canada / Worldwide under the same bands as the DZ. That's the reason the G2/DZ has such a strong community, because it's worldwide.

One would hope, it would also be more profitable for HTC to be able to sell the same phone on a worldwide market with simply different branding like they did with the G2/DZ. It's just a matter of, is there a demand for it outside of say T-Mobile users. (I would say there is, but HTC would have a better idea of the numbers).
The name Era 42 makes sense for a keyboard phone as 42 would be the perfect number of keys for a 4 row qwerty phone. The G2 has 43 including though shortcut keys and search key I never use.
Omg i hope this is true. Im getting an S3 the beginning of next month so i better hear some more news SOON.
