Where did everyone go?

My speeds aren't that bad (prl is 60686) I think 3g is a bit faster on the Stock based Roms rather then CM7...... and MIUI speeds are horrible :O

I was getting 480kb/s down and like 300kb/s up, on stock/cm7/and miui. Even in a metro area such as Seattle speeds would peak @ 900kb/s

I figured it was time to switch after no improvement over the course of two years and a half (had an intercept first) and the fact texting/data went down alot.
 
I'M... not going any where...I have a 25.00 a month plan which suits me fine...the Triumph phone which I find to be the best I have ever had, I think it is stupid to keep buying different phones just to have the "best" I look at it as the phone companies are making a killing on folks who keep buying different phones. I do not have the so called rooted phone, mine is just the plain phone. so in answer to your question.. some of us are not going anywhere!!! I'm not leaving either one!!!
 
Well you are the exception my friend... It's not about buying the best stuff when it comes out, it's about network stability and a phone you won't have to upgrade... As for your vanilla triumph I'm sure it suits you fine, just like I'm sure you are happy with you stock rom.. This thread is not directed at vanilla stock happy triumph owners but rooted, fed up with dated technology, want a stable network people.. Look, I love my 25 a month but the phone is killing it.. I agree that it does what it needs to do but when the company has no plans to support it from day 1 release, I tend to look elsewhere

went to AT&T with the iPhone on GoPhone plan. I'm looking to go elsewhere due to the recent changes to the data packages. Straight Talk looks the best but I don't necessarily use a lot of minutes.

Yup lol, i was so excited when i ordered this phone at first, then within 48 hours i was extremely angery lol, then i found this site and im happy lol

but im right outside the philadelphia area and for me anyway its all about compromises lol

AT&T = Best Overall Signal Coverage, actually had at&t for awhile and loved the coverage but they shafted me outta money every chance they could, then decided that my grandfathered in $80 unlimited everything wasent grandfathered in and they just changed it, or tried forcing me to

Sprint = Used to have the best data plan, i think at&t changed theirs to match it tho

T-mobile = tends to be expensive around here, altho pretty good customer support

Verison = Terrible signal in ALOT of areas lol

havent looked into cricket or MetroPCS

altho since going with cm7 my signal and data have been better in the data drop area, and im currently happy with my VM $60 Unlimited Everything Plan, so for now im not going anywhere lol

Why dont you switch you plan to the $55 a month for unlimited to save yourself $5 a month.

Not sure what you mean by "rooted", but, the triumph is technically already rooted out of the box

Code: 
/system/xbin/su 
/system/bin/su
You know your rooted when ...

$ su
#

Not a fan of sudo at all :)

I guess I am an exception also, I'm not going anywhere soon

This
Code: 
it's about network stability and a phone you won't have to upgrade...
Will never, ever happen, not with any phone, cell nor landline, computer or computer related... way to much money & politics involved and if and a big if, you can bet your life the USA would be dead last to have that kind of tec. There is just to much greed here and money to be made without it.

Dear Piper: Where/how does one enter the code lines you presented?
I have a stock Triumph. Please be specific. Thanks.

In the Terminal app. You can get it from the play store.

Logical that I need a terminal program in order to enter instructions.
That is the sort of program that one expects to be provided with stock telephone.
While many have expressed a dislike for their telephone, I have found the GPS to be reasonably fast and the other items also OK.
Thanks again. MapleSugar
